After
your refrigerator
is
in
operation,
do not touch the cold surfaces
in
the freezer
compartment, particularly
when
your
hands are
damp
or wet. Skin could adhere to
these
extremely
cold surfaces.
Unplug
the
power
cord from the
power
outlet for
cleaning
or other
requirements.
Never
touch it with wet hands because
you
can
get
an electric shock or be
injured.
Never
damage,
bend, kink,
pull

or electric shock.
If
you
have doubts the
appliance
is
properly grounded,
consult a
qualified
electrician.
Never
place glass products
in
the freezer because
they may
be broken from
expansion
when their contents are frozen.
Never
put your
hands within the ice
storage
bin of the automatic icemaker. You can be
injured by
the
operation
of the automatic icemaker.
The
appliance
is not intended for use
by young
children without
supervision.
Young
children should be
supervised
to ensure that
they
do not
play
with the
appliance.
Never allow
anyone
to
climb, sit, stand,
or
hang
on the door. These actions
may
damage
the
refrigerator
and even
tip
it
over,
causing
severe
personal injury.
Before
you
move
your refrigerator
into its final
location,
it is
important
to make sure
you
have the
proper
electrical connection.
A
115
Volt,
60
Hz.,
AC
only,
15 or 20
amp,
fused and
grounded
single-outlet
circuit is
required.
Use an outlet that cannot be turned
off
by
a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
The
refrigerator-freezer

positioned
that the
supply
plug
is accessible for
quick
disconnection
in
the event of an
emergency.
If
the
supply

damaged,
it must be
replaced by
the manufacturer or its service
agent
or a
similarly qualified person
in
order to avoid
any
hazard.
Do not
modify
or extend the Power Cord
length.
It
may
cause electric shock or fire.

Identification of
parts
DANGER: Risk of child
entrapment.
Before
you
throw
away your
old
refrigerator
or freezer
:
Take off the doors but leave the shelves
in
place
so that children
may
not
easily
climb
inside.
The
appliance
is not intended for use
by young
children without
supervision.
Young
children should be
supervised
to ensure that
they
do not
play
with the
appliance.
Don't store or use
gasoline
or other flammable
vapor
and
liquids
in
the
vicinity
of this or
any
other
appliance.
In
the event of an electric short
circuit,
grounding (earthing)
reduces the risk of electric
shock
by providing
an
escape
wire for the electric current.
In
order to
prevent possible
electric
shock,
this
appliance
must be
grounded.
Improper
use of the
grounding plug
can result
in
an electric shock. Consult a
qualified
electrician or service
person
if
the
grounding
instructions are not
completely
understood,
or
if
you
have doubts on whether the
appliance
is
properly grounded.

can be
easily
connected between the automatic ice
maker and
dispenser.
Installing
the
refrigerator
in
a wet or
damp
area
may
cause rust and
may
be an electrical
hazard.
If
this
refrigerator
is installed where the
ambient
temperature
is
high,
the
freezing
capacity
is deteriorated and the cost of
electricity
used increases.

causes this kind of
damage,
there is
something wrong
with it.
Customers
will
not stand for this.
?
Install the
refrigerator
at a
place
where the ambient
temperature
is 5˚C
~
43˚C
(41˚F
~
110˚F).
Ambient
temperature
outside this
range may
cause
product
malfunction.
Also,
the
tube between the
dispenser
and automatic ice maker
may
freeze.

Water
supply
installation
Pass the
refrigerator laterally through
the access
door as shown
in
the
right figure.
Automatic icemaker
operation
needs water
pressure
of
21~121
psi
(1.5~8.5
kgf/cm
2
) (That
is,
an instant
paper cup
(6
oz. or 180
cc)
will
be
fully
filled within
3
seconds.)
If
water
pressure
does not reach the
rating
21
psi
(1.5
kgf/cm
2
)
or
below,
it is
necessary
to
purchase
a
separate pressure pump
for normal automatic
icing
and
cool water feed.
Keep
the total
length
of the feed water
pipe
tube within 26'
(8 m).
Be careful for the
tube to avoid
being
kinked.
If
the tube is 26'
(8 m)
or
longer
it
may
cause trouble
in
water feed
owing
to the drain water
pressure.
Install the water
supply
line where it
will
not be affected
by
heat.
Connect to
potable
water
supply only.
Mount them
in
the reverse
sequence
of removal after
they pass through
the access
door.

?
If
operating
the
refrigerator
before
installing
the water
connection,
turn icemaker
to the OFF
position
to
prevent operation
without water.
?
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing
code
requirements.
?
Use
copper tubing
and check for leaks.
?
Install
copper tubing only
in areas where
temperatures
will remain above
freezing.
?
It
may
take
up
to 24 hours for
your
icemaker to
begin producing
ice.
IMPORTANT
The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water
pressure regulator.
The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water

?
Your
refrigerator
dealer has a kit available with a
1/4-inch
saddle-type
shut-off
valve,
a
union,
and
copper tubing.
Before
purchasing,
make sure a
saddle-type
valve
complies
with
your
local
plumbing
codes. Do not use a
piercing-type
or
3/16-inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and
clogs
more
easily.
NOTE
Installation

9
1.
Unplug refrigerator
or disconnect
power.
2.
Turn OFF main water
supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure
on the line. It
may help
to
open
an outside faucet to allow the water to drain from
the line
in
the house.
3. Find a
1
/
2
-inch vertical COLD water
pipe
near the
refrigerator.
Connect
the
tubing
to
water line
?
Horizontal
pipe
will
work,
but the
following precaution
must be taken: Drill on the
top
of
the
pipe,
not the bottom. This will
help keep
water
away
from the drill. This also
keeps
normal sediment from
collecting
in the valve.
NOTE
4.
To determine the
length
of
copper tubing you
will
need,
measure from the
connection on the lower left rear of the
refrigerator
to the water
pipe.
Add
7
feet
(2.1m)
to allow for
moving refrigerator
for
cleaning.
Use
1
/
4
-inch O.D.
(outside diameter)
copper tubing.
Be sure both ends of
copper tubing
are cut
square.
5.
Using
a
drill,
drill a
1
/
4
-inch hole
in
the cold water
pipe you
have selected.
6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water
pipe
with
pipe clamp.
Be sure the outlet
end is
solidly
in
the
1
/
4
"
drilled hole
in
the water
pipe
and the washer is under
the
pipe clamp. Tighten
the
packing
nut.
Tighten
the
pipe clamp
screws
carefully
and
evenly
so the washer makes a
watertight
seal. Do not
overtighten
or
you may
crush the
copper tubing, especially
if
soft
(coiled)
copper tubing
is used. Now
you
are
ready
to connect the
copper tubing.
7.
Slip
the
compression
sleeve and the
compression
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
compression
nut onto the outlet end with a wrench.
A
flare nut
wrench works
best,
but an
open
end wrench
will
suffice. Do not
overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the
tubing
into a container or
sink,
and turn on the main
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.

Before
making
the connection to the
refrigerator,
be sure the
refrigerator
power
cord is not
plugged
into the wall outlet.
?
If
your refrigerator
does not have a water
filter,
we recommend
installing
one.
If
your
water
supply
has sand or
particles,
that could
clog
the screen of
the
refrigerator's
water valve. Install the filter
in
the water line near the
refrigerator.
1.
Remove the
plastic
flexible
cap
from the water valve.
2.
Place the
compression
nut and ferrule
(sleeve)
onto the end of the
tubing
as
shown.
3. Insert the end of the
copper tubing
into the connection as far as
possible.
While
holding
the
tubing, tighten
the
fitting.
Connect the
tubing
to
the
refrigerator
Tighten any
connections that leak.
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. Push the
refrigerator
back to the wall.
Start the lcemaker
Set the icemaker switch to the ON
position
The icemaker
will
not
begin
to
operate
until it reaches its
operating temperature
of 15
°F
(-9 °C).
It
will
then
begin operation automatically.
Turn the water on at
the shutoff valve
