Introduction
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your
product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
1. When connecting the power
Use a dedicated outlet.
• Using several devices at one outlet may cause a fire.
Prevent the power cord from being squeezed or crushed if the refrigerator is
pushed in after the power plug is extracted during the installation.

vehicles, aircraft, or maritime vessels.).
It may cause an unexpected risk such as fire, electric shock,
deterioration of stored material, chemical reaction.
When disposing the refrigerator, remove the packing
materials from the door or take off the doors but leave the
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
Child entrapment generally results in death by suffocation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

Water supply installation

Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21~121 psi
(1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2) (That is, a 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/cm2) or below, it is
necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking
and cool water feed.

Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26 ft (8 m). Be careful for
the tube to avoid being kinked. If the tube is 26 ft (8 m) or longer it may cause
trouble in water feed.

Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.
Mount them in the reverse sequence of removal after the refrigerator is in the
kitchen.

Installation
Water connection instruction guide
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
Connecting
the refrigerator
to a water source
Connect to a potable water supply only.
•
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
We suggest instead of using copper tubing and compression fittings, use a braided,
reinforced vinyl line with threaded fittings crimped onto each end. This eliminates
the need for plumbing skills on the part of the customer and makes a leakproof
installation virtually guaranteed.
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 pressure
21 ~ 121 psi (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2).

Tools required
•
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
WARNING

15
Installation
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 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 (2.1 m) 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.

ENGLISH
Installation
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.
