01 SETTING UP
1. Connect the household water line to the
assembled compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the
compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and
ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not
supplied) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing ( B ), insert the
molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ) into
the compression fitting.
• Do not use without the molded end (Bulb)
of the plastic tubing ( B ).
2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the
compression fitting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ) .
3. Turn water on and check for any leakage. If you
find water drops or leakage in the connection
areas, turn off the main water supply. Check
the connections and, if necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press
a large glass or cup against the water dispenser
lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink
after it is filled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice
maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period
of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice
the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have
been removed from the water line.
• Only connect the water line to a drinkable
water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line,
CAUTION
cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you
get a snug, leak-free connection.
• You can test the water line quickly using
a paper cup. Under normal conditions,
the water dispenser can fill a 5.75 oz.
(170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.
COMPLETING THE SET UP
Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the
features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.
1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it
and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in
this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure
the interior light comes on when you open the
doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run
smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to
the temperatures you want.
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a
few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.
You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator
after the temperature is sufficiently cool.
If condensation or water drops appears
on both sides of fridge door’s central
part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after
removing the condensation.
