Connecting The Water Supply

About Your Refrigerator's Water Supply
The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a
permanent water supply to function correctly. During installation,
you (or a service professional) establish this water supply by
connecting a copper tube from your household water system to a
valve at the rear of the refrigerator.
Caution
To Avoid Property Damage:
Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic tubing is
•
more likely to leak). Manufacturer is not responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
Ensure water supply complies with local plumbing codes.
•
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply
•
pressure should fall between 1.4 and 6.9 bars. Excessive
pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
What you will need:
• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 1.4-6.9 bars.
• The water connector kit that comes with your refrigerator, which
provides all materials for a water installation, including 7.6 m (25
feet) of copper tubing.
To connect your water supply to the rear of your
refrigerator:
Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.
1
Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the end of the
2
copper tube in a sink or bucket and opening the shut-off valve.
Unscrew the plastic cap from water valve inlet at the rear of your
3
refrigerator. Discard the cap.

Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule (sleeve) onto
4
copper tube.
Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it will go (6.5

mm).
Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten
6
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench. Do not over-tighten.
Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator's rear panel with a
7
steel clamp and screw (see illustration).
Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind your
8
refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing to avoid vibration or
wear against other surfaces.
Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any connections

that leak.
Note
After connecting the water supply, see information in this guide
about priming an empty water supply system. Also read all
topics in the "Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser" section to learn
about normal operating procedures.
Controls & Settings
Allowing Cooling Time Before Use
To ensure reliable food storage, allow your refrigerator and freezer
to operate with the doors closed for 8 to 12 hours before placing
food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the
controls, which are preset at the factory.

Setting Cooling Temperatures

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital
control system. The system's control panel is located at the top of
the refrigerator compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate
the current temperatures of your freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up
or Down arrow button closest to the display. The first time you press
the button the display shows the last setting you entered. Each
press of the button after that increments the setting by one degree.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes
back to the current temperature.
Note
The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator
includes additional display modes that service professionals can
use to rapidly diagnose performance issues.
