UPRIGHT FREEZER CONGÉLATEUR VERTICAL

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the freezer needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

(for models with an ice maker)

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1

¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■

■

Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use

¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the copper tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Freezer

1. Remove the valve access cover from the compressor cover on the lower back of the cabinet.

2. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

3. Insert the valve assembly into the compressor cover. Then, fasten the valve assembly to the freezer cabinet with a

¹⁄₂" hex head machine screw.

4. Use the tube clamp on the back of the freezer to secure the tubing to the freezer as shown. This will help avoid damaging the copper tubing when the freezer is pushed back against the wall.

5. Turn shutoff valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.

Do not overtighten.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
