FCC Caution

Installing your new appliance
Before using the appliance for the first
time, you should be aware of the
following tips.
07
For proper installation, this
refrigerator must be placed on a
level surface of hard material
that is the same height as the
rest of the flooring. This surface
should be strong enough to
support a fully loaded
refrigerator.
The rollers, which are not casters,
should be only used for forward
or backward movement. Moving
the refrigerator sideways may
damage your floor and the
rollers.
Warning
In order to improve efficiency of
the cooling system and save
energy, it is necessary to maintain
good ventilation around the
appliance for the dissipation of
heat. For this reason, sufficient
clear space should be available
around the refrigerator.
Suggest:
It is advisable for there to be at
least 2"(50mm) of clearance from
the back of the fridge to the wall,
at least 1/2"(12mm) of clearance
from its top, at least 1/2"(12mm)
from its side to the wall and a clear
space in front to allow the doors to
open 125°. As shown in the
following diagrams.

reverse order.
A water dispenser with a filter is one of
the helpful features on your new

To help promote better health, the
water filter removes unwanted particles
from your water. However, it does not
sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You
may need to purchase a water
purifying system to do that.
In order for the ice maker to operate
properly, a water line is required.
The inlet water pressure must be
between 207kPa and 700kPa.
Installing the water lines
The water connection must be
made by a qualified plumber.
Operation outside the water
pressure range may cause
malfunction, severe and
damaging water leaks.
Under normal conditions, a200cc
(5.75 oz.) cup can be filled in
about 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an
area with low water pressure
(below 30psi), you can install a
booster pump to compensate
for the low pressure.
Warning
What do you need to do before
you start.
1. Power drill and 1/4’’ drill bit.
2. 1/2’’ or adjustable wrench.
