Connect the Water Supply

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new appliance. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 30~125psi is required. Under normal conditions, a 200cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be filled in about 10 seconds.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

Parts for water line installation

Diagram Description: Shows the necessary parts for water line installation: Connector and check valve, Valve Seat, Clip, Screw, Water line (5m), Two-Way Connector, Spanner.

Connecting to the water supply line

The connector and the check valve are provided as one part. You should use the new connector incidentally but not the old one you have. First, turn off the main water supply line. Screw the adaptor onto a suitable 3/4″BSP connector water outlet and use the spanner to tighten it. Fully insert the water line into the check valve. Then insert the clip in the install pack as the figure shown below.

Diagram Description: Illustrates connecting the water line. A water valve is shown with a spanner tightening a screw holding a valve seat. A connector is attached, leading to a filter inlet line. Another diagram shows a two-way connector connecting two water lines, secured by clips.

NOTE:

• After connected to the water supply line, please open the water valve to flush the filter for 5 minutes before use.
• If the main supply line is too far away from the refrigerator to be connected to the filter inlet line, the water line (5m) provided may be helpful. The outlet line of the water filter should be connected with the inlet line of the refrigerator by a Two-Way Connector. The water line must be fully inserted into the center of the connector to prevent water leaking. Insert the 2 clips in the installation pack as shown in the diagram, and then confirm that each clip holds the line firmly.

Diagram Description: Shows the water dispenser on the refrigerator door. A water line connects to the back of the refrigerator. The initial dark discoloration of water is normal. The water lines must be connected with the potable water only. The water lines should not be pressed by heavy things and should not bend too much. It is normal that there will be sound of exhaust coming out from the appliance when you connect the water line to the appliance and press the level of the dispenser for the first time.

Warning:

• After turning on the water valve, make sure that there is no leakage at all connection points of the water lines. If there is a leakage, turn off the valve immediately and tighten the water connector or make the lines fully inserted into the connector.
• The water line must be connected to the cold water pipe. If it is connected to the hot water pipe, it may cause the purifier to malfunction.

⚠️ WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.
2. Unplug refrigerator.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
5. Raise the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor. See "Level Refrigerator."
6. Seal the doors with tape and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator. When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
