BEFORE START
The water source is not guaranteed by the refrigerator
manufacturer Follow instructions carefully in order to
reduce damage
Air located inside the water pipes can cause hammering
or tapping causing damage to the inner pipes or water
spillage in the inside of the refrigerator Call a qualified
plumber to fix such hammering on the connections
before installing the water pipe
To | avoid burn damage or such, never connect refrigerator | ||||||||||
to | hot | water |
| pipes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If | you | are | to | use | the | refrigerator | before | connecting | it | ||
to | the | water | source, | make | sure | the ice maker | is the off | ||||
position |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Never | attempt | to | install | the ice | maker | pipes | in | areas | |||
where | room |
| temperature | is | below | freezing | point |
|
| ||
When using any electrical device (like a drill) during the installation, make sure device is doubly isolated or making ground to prevent risk of electrical surge or discharge
All installations should be done considering local water and drainage requirements
• If an inverted osmosis water filtration system is
connected to the cold water source, the water hose
installation is not assured or guaranteed by the
refrigerator or automated ice maker manufacturer Follow the next instructions carefully to minimize costly water related damages
• When having an inverted osmosis water filtration
system connected to the
/ cm 2,(2,8 kg f / cm 2_4,2 kg f / cm 2, less than 2 - 3 seconds to fill a 7 oz of capacity cup [0,2 liters])
•If the inverted osmosis water filtration system pressure is less than 21 PSI or 0,14 MPa (1,5 kg f / cm 2, more than four (4) seconds to fill a 7 oz of capacity cup [0,2 liters]):
a)Identify if the sediments filter in the inverted osmosis system is being blocked Replace filter if necessary
b)Allow inverted osmosis system storage tank to refill after extensive usage
c)Call a qualified plumber if the inverted osmosis water pressure problem continues
REQUIREMENTS
• 1/4" (6,35 | ram) | in diameter | copper pipe to_ | |||
connect | refrigerator | to | the | water pipe Make // | ||
sure both |
| terminals | are | cut | in | JJ |
squared | manner |
|
|
|
| |
To determine how much pipe material is needed,
measures the distances between the valves located
behind the refrigerator and the source of water and add
to that S feet (2,4 m) Make sure there is sufficient pipe
material to allow the free movement of the refrigerator from the wall
•A cold water source. Water pressure should be between
0,138 and 0,82 MPa or 20 and 120 PSI for models not
containing water filter and between 0,276 and 0,82
MPa or 40 and 120 PSI for models containing water filter
• A drill. | #_ |
• Adjustable 1/2" 02,7 mm) key.
Flat and Phillips style (star) screwdriver.
Two 1/4" (6,35 ram) diameter _ _
compression nuts with two
sides to connect the copper
pipe to the refrigerator valve
If your current |
| copper |
| pipe has some | reduction | on the | |||||
ends, | it | will | be necessary | to | get | and |
|
| |||
adaptor | (found |
| in | hardware | stores)_._'_"_ |
| |||||
to | connect |
| the | water | line | to | the | _v | _ _.j/j | ||
refrigerator |
| It | is | also | possible | to | cut |
|
| ||
such | reductions |
| with | a pipe | cutter |
|
| ||||
and | use | the | compression | connections |
| mentioned | above | ||||
• Bypass valve to connect to the cold water line The valve
must have a water opening
with an interior 5/32" (3,46
ram) diameter in the cold-
water connection point These
valves can be located in any
package Before buying make sure such valve meets
local standards and requirements
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the valve to the pipe that you use to drink water
(Connect only to a potable water source)
CAUTION: Connect to potable water supply only
1. CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SOURCE
Open the nearest water faucet to let water flow and
empty pipes
2. SELECT THE LOCATION OF THE VALVE
Select the location of the valve that will
provide a better access It is best to
connect to a vertical pipeline When
connecting to a horizontal pipeline is
necessary, make the connection in the
lateral or upper area instead of the
lower area to prevent accumulation of sediment
