Aga Ranges AFHR-36 Transporting Your Refrigerator, Connecting the Water Supply, Use & Care Guide

Use & Care Guide

Transporting Your Refrigerator

•NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to ensure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

•Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–NEVERfrom its front.

•Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

•Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or dam- age outside finish.

Connecting the Water Supply

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before installing ice maker.

•Do not attempt installation if instructions are not under- stood or if they are beyond personal skill level.

•Observe all local codes and ordinances.

•Do not service ice maker unless specifically recom- mended in Use & Care Guide or published user-repair instructions.

•Disconnect power to refrigerator before installing ice maker.

•Water damage due to an improper water connection may cause mould/mildew growth. Clean up spills or leak- age immediately

To avoid property damage or possible injury, follow basic precautions, including the fol- lowing:

•Consult a plumber to connect 1/4” O.D. copper tubing to household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and ordinances.

•Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch if there is not a water filter.

•Do not use a self-piercing, or 3/16" saddle valve. Both reduce water flow and can become clogged over time; and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.

•Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten.

•Wait 2-3 hours before placing refrigerator into final position to check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.

•Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth, cut square and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.

Materials Needed

•1/4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing.

•Shut-off valve (requires a 1/4" hole to be drilled into water supply line before valve attachment).

•Adjustable wrench • 1/4" hex nut driver.

•In-line water filter must be installed in an accessible location to prevent dam- age to refrigerator’s water solenoid.

Note:

•Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water supply for creation of service loop.

1.Create service loop with copper tubing (minimum 2’ diameter) Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when bending it into a service loop.
