INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Connect the water tube to the refrigerator
• This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts
and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
• To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
• If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the”Ice Type” is set to the ICE
OFF position.
• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insu-
lated or wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.
• All installations must be in a accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Before You Install the water line
1) Slip the compression nut through the provided
plastic tubing.
2) Tighten the compression nut onto 1/4”
comprression fitting.
Water line must be connected to drinkable water only.
Cut off 1/4 inch of the provided plastic tubing squarely to prevent leaks when reconnect.
NOTE
Do not overtighten the compression nut.
NOTE
● Using Copper Tubing
- Slip the compression nut and ferrule on copper
tubing as shown.
● Using Plastic Tubing
- Insert the molded end of the plastic tubing into
the compression fitting.
3) Tighten the compression nut onto the compres-
sion fitting.
4) Turn water on and check for any leakage.
Install the water filter.
1) As shown, the fixed cap separates from the refrigerator by rotat-
ing it counterclockwise.
Remove the water filter from the box and put a month indicator
sticker on the filter as shown on the next page.
2) The water filter should be replaced every six months, so if the fil-
ter was installed in March (for example), put on the "SEP" sticker
to remind you to change the filter.
Keep the cap(A) in a safe place for recapping,
when you will not use the filter.
NOTE
The water filter in the extra space behind the vegetable Bin.
