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
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.
