Mounting Freezer Handle Before installing the water supply line, you will need: 1. 2. Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips™ screwdriver Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi. A water supply line made of % inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown). A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve. A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ¡ce maker Inlet valve. To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet valve: 1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve. 3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap. 4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (4 inch / 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench: DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1. If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench: DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2. 5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown. 6. Coll excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2% turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface. 7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak. 8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source. 9.

These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable. The following Is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause: A B Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound. Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan. Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Water valve activation may create sounds from its operation. Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off. Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser. Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker. Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air. Motorized Perfect Temp™ drawer damper May produce a light humming during operation. Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation. Perfect Temp™ drawer fan Turns off when door opens or Perfect Temp™ drawer is turned off. Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and alr filtering systems. The water filter system filters all the water used to produce ice.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts. * Rated Capacity - 240 gallons » Rated service flow - .5 gallons per minute Maximum Rated Pressure - 100 pounds per square inch Recommended Minimum Operating Pressure: 30 pounds per square inch se Operating Temp.: Min. 33°F, Max. 100°F The water filter is located at the lower left side of the fresh food compartment. eplacing your PureAdvantage™ water J y filter In general, you should change the water filter every SIX (6) months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompis you to replace the filter after the 6 month time period has elasped. The water filter status light on this model is not performance tested or certified by NSF. If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement. 1 Push the filter release button above the cartridge to disconnect it.
