CAUTION
!
To avoid property damage, protect soft vinyl or other
flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective
materials when moving refrigerator. Make sure
stabilizing leg is raised before moving refrigerator.
Raise stabilizing leg by turning counterclockwise.
CAUTION
!
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20
and 120 pounds per square inch.
• Copper supply tubing must be routed where the
temperature is 55°F (13°C) or higher to prevent
freeze-ups.
• Start adaptor fitting and nuts by hand to avoid cross
threading.Tighten adaptor fitting and nuts with a
wrench. Do not overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location, and
24 hours after connecting.
Important
• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to
connect copper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
•DO NOT use self-piercing type or 3/16" saddle valves!
Both reduce water flow, develop sediment build-up more
rapidly, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.The
correct type of shut-off valve requires a ¼" hole to be
drilled on top or side (not bottom of horizontal pipe) of
water supply pipe prior to valve attachment.
Materials Required
¼" O.D. (6 mm) flexible copper tubing
½" open end wrench
Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply
connection to water valve inlet port on back of refrigerator
plus an additional 8 ft. (2 m) of tubing for a service loop. A
service loop will allow refrigerator to be pulled away from
the wall without disconnecting tubing.

These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar.
These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and
performing as designed.
1. Deepfreeze®fan air rushes and whirs.
2. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling
water.

PELIGRO

Forma apropiada de desechar su
refrigerador
IMPORTANTE: Los niños atrapados y asfixiados
en refrigeradores no es cosa del pasado. Los
refrigeradores que se arrumban o abandonan, aun
cuando sea por “solo unos cuantos días”, continúan
siendo un peligro. Si desecha un refrigerador viejo,
sírvase seguir las siguientes instrucciones para ayudar
a prevenir un accidente.
ANTES DE TIRAR SU REFRIGERADOR O
CONGELADOR VIEJO:
• Quítele las puertas.
• Déjele las repisas puestas para que los niños no
puedan meterse fácilmente.
Requerimientos de espacio
ADVERTENCIA
!
Mantenga los materiales y los vapores inflamables,
como gasolina, lejos del refrigerador. El no hacerlo
puede causar como resultado la muerte, una
explosión, un incendio o quemaduras.
•Para asegurar la ventilación apropiada del refrigerador,
deje un espacio de 1" (2.5 cm) en la parte superior del
refrigerador.
•Si su refrigerador tiene una máquina para hacer
hielo, asegúrese de dejar espacio adicional en la parte
posterior para la conexión de la línea de agua. El
refrigerador puede estar al ras con la pared posterior si
no instala una máquina para hacer hielo.
•Si se instala el refrigerador junto a una pared fija, deje
un espacio de 2 ½" (6.35 cm) en cada lado
(dependiendo del modelo) para permitir que las
puertas se abran 90°.
NOTA: No instale el refrigerador junto a un horno,
radiador u otra fuente de calor, ni en un área donde la
temperatura bajará a menos de 55° F (13° C).

PRECAUCIÓN
!
Para evitar daños materiales, proteja el piso vinílico
suave o de otro tipo con cartones, alfombras u otros
materiales protectores cuando mueva el refrigerador.
Asegúrese de que la pata estabilizadora está
levantada antes de mover el refrigerador, levántela
girándola en dirección contraria a las manecillas del
reloj.
PRECAUCIÓN
!
Acate los puntos siguientes para evitar daños
materiales:
• Compruebe que la presión del agua en la válvula
de agua esté entre 120 libras por pulgada cuadrada.
• Apriete la conexión y las tuercas del adaptador
con unas pinzas y con una llave de tuercas.
Apriete los accesorios y las tuercas del adaptador
con una llave.No lo apriete de más.
• Revise si hay goteras de agua y arréglelas si es
necesario antes de volver a colocar el refrigerador
en su lugar. Después de 24 horas revise
nuevamente si hay goteras.
Importante
• Antes de conectar el suministro de agua,
comuníquese con un plomero para que conecte la
tubería de cobre a la plomería de la casa en
conformidad con los códigos y reglamentos locales.
•¡NO utilice válvulas de tipo de penetración o de
sillín de 3/16" (9 mm)! Ambas reducen el flujo del
agua, con el tiempo se obstruyen y pueden causar
goteras si trata de repararlas. El tipo correcto de
válvula de cierre requiere que se haga un orificio de
¼" (6 mm) en la tubería del suministro de agua antes
de conectar la válvula.
Materialesnecesarios
Tubería de cobre flexible de ¼"(6 mm) de D.E.
Llave con extremo abierto de ½"
La longitud de la tubería de cobre debe alcanzar desde la
conexión del suministro de agua hasta la lumbrera de
entrada de la válvula de agua. Se necesitan 8 pies (2 m)
adicionales de tubería para un lazo de servicio. El lazo
de servicio permitirá que el refrigerador se pueda separar
de la pared sin desconectar la tubería.
