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 cold-water
flow,
the water
pressure
for
such
system
must
be at least
between
40-60
PSIor0,27
MPa (2,8 kg

° If the inverted
osmosis
water filtration
system
pressure
is less than
21 PSI or 0,14 MPa (1,5 kg
f / cm z, 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
j
•
1/4"
(6,35
ram)
in
diameter
copper
pipe
to
connect
refrigerator
to
the
water
pipe
///
Make
sure
both
terminals
are
cut
in
_//
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 (2,4m)
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
0,13S
and
0,$2
MPa
or 20
and
120
PSI for models
not
containing
water
filter
and
between
0,276
and
0,$2
MPa
or 40
and
120
PSI
for
m_r
filter
A drill.
Adjustable
1/2"
(12,7 ram) 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
/(/r
-,_
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
ram)
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)
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
