6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Connecting the Water Line
Before Beginning
This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage. If necessary, call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes (water hammer) in residential plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. · 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.

INSTALLATION 17
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, 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 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
· Power drill.
· ½ in. or adjustable wrench.
· Flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers.
· Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper

18 INSTALLATION
tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

2 Choose the valve location.
· Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

· If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, purchase an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and use a compression fitting.
· Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

3 Drill the hole for the valve.
· Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
NOTE
· The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

NOTE · A self-piercing saddle type water valve should
not be used.
Water Line Installation Instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
WARNING · When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery-powered, double-insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

4 Fasten the shutoff valve.
· Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
NOTE · Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

How to Store Food
· Butter or Margarine
– Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
· Cheese
– Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
· Milk
– Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.
· Eggs
– Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
· Fruit
– Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.
· Leafy Vegetables
– Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
· Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
– Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
· Fish
– Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended.
· Leftovers
– Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.
NOTE · Do not store food with high moisture content
towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come into direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
· Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
· If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause

condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
Storing Frozen Food
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE · Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food. Packaging Recommendations · Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids · Straight-sided canning/freezing jars · Heavy-duty aluminum foil · Plastic-coated paper · Non-permeable plastic wraps · Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use · Bread wrappers · Non-polyethylene plastic containers · Containers without tight lids
