About The Automatic Ice Maker - LG LBC20514 Owner's Manual

NOTE: It is necessary to have a water source when
both water and/or ice dispensers are available in your
product.
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 icemaker is the off position.
Never attempt to install the icemaker 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 icemaker manufacturer. Follow
the next instructions carefully to minimize costly water
related damages.
When having an inverted osmosis water filtration
system connected to the cold-water flow, the water
pressure for such system must be at least between
40-60 PSI or 0,27 MPa (2,8 kg · f / cm ² ~ 4,2 kg · f / cm ²,
(2,8 kg · f / cm ² ~ 4,2 kg · f / cm ², menos de 2 ~ 3
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 pf capacity cup [0,2 liters]):
[0,2 litros]):
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 mm) in diameter copper
pipe to connect refrigerator to the
water pipe. Make sure both
terminals are cut in a 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 8 feet
(2,4m). 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
0,137 and 0,82 MPa or 20 and 120 PSI for models not
containing water filter and between 0,275 and 0,82 MPa or
40 and 120 PSI for models containing water filter.
A drill
Adjustable ½"(12,7 mm) key.
Flat and Phillips style (star) screwdriver.
Two ¼" (6,35 mm) 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 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 mm)
diameter in the cold-water connection point.
These valves can be located in any
cold-water connection 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).
drinking water.
1. CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SOURCE
Open the nearest water faucet to let water flow
and empty pipes.
