ICE MAKER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (OPTIONAL)
The refrigerator is ready for ice maker installation, if you need ice maker, optional icemaker kit model “FDI101S-8M” is available from your retailer.
Tools Required:

• 1/4″ copper supply line with shut o ffvalve
• 1/4″ brass compression nut and ferrule
• Minimum/Maximum inlet water pressure, 138/827 kPa (20/120 PSIG). Connect to potable water supply only.

The copper tubing and shut o ffvalve are available in a kit from your local hardware or plumbing supply store. Coil enough tubing at the back of the unit to allow movement for cleaning.
WARN1NG
Unplug the refrigerator. To eliminate the danger of electric shock during installation, you must unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Note:

• When the ice maker dumps ice intothe ice box, any sounds are part of normal operation.
• If ice is not dispensed for a long period of time, it may clump in the Ice bin. If this occurs, please remove all theice and empty the bin.
• In case of prolonged absence and noice maker use, close the water valve to prevent leaks.lt is recommended that the first several ice charges be discarded to ensure the highest quality of ice. Do not store cans or containers that willburst when frozen.

CAUTION Do not allow your children to touch the ice maker. This could cause injury.

BEFORE USE

WAITING PERIOD

• Before plugging the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet, allow it to stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
  NOTE: This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

CLEANING

1. Wash the refrigerator interior using a soft cloth dampened with a baking soda solution (2 tablespoons baking soda mixed with 1 quart of warm water).
2. Using a soft cloth, thoroughly dry all surfaces.

REFRIGERATOR USE GENERAL

• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
  WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

1. Plug in your refrigerator. Wait for 30 minutes, and then open the refrigerator door to determine if the refrigerator is working properly.
2. Place frozen food into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Do not line refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and then close the door as soon as possible.
• Do NOT add a large amount of unfrozen food to the refrigerator at one time. This will lower the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
