ENGLISH 2 Fit the hinge a over the hinge lever latch b and slot it into place. Rotate the lever c clockwise and fasten the hinge. INSTALLATION 19 • Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be used before the water line is connected. • Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where the ambient temperatures fall below freezing. WARNING • Connect to potable water supply only. CAUTION • To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply. • Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury. 3 Connect all the wire harnesses and the ground wire. Assembling the Hinge Cover Position the hinge cover in its place. Insert and tighten the cover screws. Connecting Refrigerator to Water Supply Before Beginning These instructions assume you have an existing water supply connection for the refrigerator. If necessary, call a qualified plumber to install a water supply line for the refrigerator. Water Pressure You will need a cold water supply. Water Pressure • Models with water filter: - 20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa) • Where reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to a cold water supply: - 40 - 60 psi minimum to reverse osmosis system (2.8 kgf/cm2 - 4.2 kgf/cm2, or less than 2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity) If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity): • Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. • Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. • If the water pressure remains low, call a licensed, qualified plumber. • All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Supplies Needed • Copper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To determine how much tubing you need, measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then,

Connecting Refrigerator to
Water Supply
Before Beginning
These instructions assume you have an existing
water supply connection for the refrigerator. If
necessary, call a qualified plumber to install a
water supply line for the refrigerator.
•
Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be
used before the water line is connected.
•
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where the ambient temperatures fall below
freezing.
WARNING
•
Connect to potable water supply only.
CAUTION
•
To prevent burns and product damage, only
connect the refrigerator water line to a cold
water supply.
•
Wear eye protection during installation to
prevent injury.
Water Pressure
You will need a cold water supply.
Water Pressure
•
Models with water filter:
- 20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa)
•
Where reverse osmosis water filtration
system is connected to a cold water supply:
- 40 - 60 psi minimum to reverse osmosis
system (2.8 kgf/cm
2
- 4.2 kgf/cm
2
, or less than
2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity)
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm
2
(takes more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz or
198 cc capacity):
•
Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if
necessary.
•
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
•
If the water pressure remains low, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
•
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Supplies Needed
•
Copper or PEX Tubing,
¼ in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be
sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To
determine how much tubing you need, measure
the distance from the water valve on the back of
the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then,
