BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
• Do not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to re ove odor.
• Install in places away fro the fire such as the place
where fla able gas is leaked.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or ental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed co pletely. The United States
Depart ent of Agriculture in Ho e and Garden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You ay safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 4°C.
…Thawed ground eats, poultry, or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice crea
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The
food ay be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables,
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red
eats is affected less than that of any other
foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to
save as uch of their quality as you can.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual properly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 20 a peres. This provides the
best perfor ance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard fro overheated wires. It is
reco ended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with
a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension
cord. Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE So e odels have LED interior lighting and
service should be perfor ed by a qualified technician.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Ther ostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control,
depending on the odel) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
Use of an extension cord will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as
far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
IMPORTANT Tighten any connections that leak.
Open the water at the shutoff valve.
• Plug in the refrigerator.
• Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so
it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.
• Check for leaks.
• Before connecting the water line to house, purge the
house line for 2 inute.
NOTE It ay take a few seconds for water to begin to flow
as the internal tank fills and air clears fro the lines.
• Push the refrigerator back to the wall.
• Set the ice aker switch to the ON position.
NOTE The ice aker will not begin to operate until it
reaches its operating te perature of -9°C.
It will then begin operation auto atically.
NOTE Throw away the first few batches of ice (about
20 pieces).
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
IMPORTANT Before connecting the tubing to the water
line, unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
• Turn off the ain water supply and open the nearest
faucet to relieve pressure in the line. Opening an outside
faucet ay help drain water fro the line in the house.
• Find a 1/2-in. vertical COLD water pipe near the
refrigerator.
NOTE A horizontal pipe will work, but the following
precaution ust be taken: drill on the top of the pipe, not
the botto . This will help keep water away fro the drill
and also keep nor al sedi ent fro collecting in the valve.
• To deter ine the length of copper tubing you will need,
easure fro the connection on the lower left rear of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 ) to allow for
oving the refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-in. O.D.
(outside dia eter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
the copper tubing are cut square.
• Using a drill, drill a 1/4-in. hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
• Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe cla p. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-in.
drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the
pipe cla p. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe
cla p screws carefully and evenly so the washer akes
a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you ay crush the copper tubing,
especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you
are ready to connect the copper tubing.
• Slip the co pression sleeve and the co pression nut
onto the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the
tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go.
Screw the co pression nut onto the outlet end with a
wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end
wrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.
• Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,
and turn on the ain water supply. Flush out the tubing
until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.
