REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

Type 2

Adjusting tools: 5/16” (8 mm) wrench and 3/4” (19 mm)

wrench.

Using a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench, turn the keeper nut
clockwise to loosen the keeper nut.

Using a 5/16” (8 mm) wrench, turn the adjustment hinge
pin clockwise or counterclockwise to level the refrigerator
and freezer door.

After setting level door, turn the keeper nut
counterclockwise to tighten.

CAUTION

Do not over tight the door adjustment screw. The
hinge pin can be pulled out. (Adjustable range of
height is a maximum of 1/2” (1,27 cm)).

AFTER LEVELING THE DOOR HEIGHT

Confirm all legs are in contact with the floor.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the

Automatic Ice maker and/or Water Dispenser
features are available on your product.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or ice maker manufacturer or seller.

Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage.

Water hammer (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 water hammer 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 maker power switch is in the

OFF

(O) position.

Do not install the ice maker 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 double insulated
or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery-powered. All installations MUST be in
accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or ice
maker manufacturer or seller. Follow next instruction
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.

• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure
to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum
of 40 to 60 PSI (2,8 kg•f/cm² ~ 4,2 kg•f/ cm² , less
than 2~3 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz. capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is

less than 21 PSI (1,5 kg•f/cm², more than 4 sec to fill a
cup of 7 oz. capacity):

• Check to see whether 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 issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis

remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper Tubing, 1/4” (6,35 mm) 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 add 8 feet
(2,4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8 feet [2,4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10” [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the
wall after installation.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2,4

m) as described above.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure MUST be

between 20 and 120 PSI (1,4 bar and 8,2 bar) on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120
PSI (2,8 bar and 8,2 bar) on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2” (12,7 mm) or Adjustable Wrench.

• Flat head and Phillips screwdrivers.
