PLACEMENT OF ITEMS

  • Do not put flammable, explosive, volatile, or highly corrosive items in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent damage to the product and limit the risk of fire or explosion.
  • Do not place flammable items near the refrigerator to limit the risk of fire or explosion.
  • The refrigerator is intended for household use, such as the storage of food; it shall not be used for other purposes, such as storage of blood, drugs, biological products, etc.
  • Do not store beer, soda, or other beverages contained in bottles or enclosed containers in the freezing compartment. Bottles or sealed containers may crack or explode due to freezing temperatures and can damage the refrigerator.

FOOD SAFETY

  • To avoid food contamination, please read the following instructions and information:
    • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase in the temperatures inside the appliance.
    • Users should regularly clean surfaces and accessible drainage systems that come in contact with food.
    • Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 hours, and flush the water system connected to the water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 or more days.
    • Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that it does not contact with or drip onto other food.
    • If the appliance is left empty for long periods, you should disconnect from power, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mold from developing within the appliance.
    • Before putting in any fresh or frozen food, the refrigerator should run for 2–3 hours or for over 4 hours in the summer when ambient temperatures are high.
  • The gaps between the doors and between the doors and the refrigerator body are small. Do not put your hand in these areas. Be gentle when closing the refrigerator door to avoid food or liquids falling or spilling.
  • Do not pick up food or containers with wet hands in the freezer compartment when the refrigerator is running, especially metal containers, to avoid frostbite.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the top of the refrigerator. Objects may fall when closing or opening the doors, increasing the risk of injury.
  • Unplug the appliance from electricity in the event of a power failure and when performing routine cleaning. When disconnecting from electricity, wait at least five minutes before plugging back in to prevent damage to the compressor and sealed cooling system due to successive stops and starts.

ENERGY WARNINGS

  • Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (for example: defrosting of food or warming temperatures inside the freezer compartment) when set below the cold end of the range of temperatures designed for the appliance.
  • Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or low-temperature chambers or cabinets. Additionally, some products such as ice water should not be consumed too cold.
  • Do not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by food manufacturers for any kind of food, particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in the freezer compartment.
  • It’s recommended to wrap frozen food in several layers of parchment paper or newspaper to prevent an undue rise in the temperature while defrosting the refrigerator.
  • An increase in the temperature of frozen foods during manual defrosting, maintenance, or cleaning could shorten the storage life of the unit.

WARNINGS FOR DISPOSAL
Both the refrigerant (R600a isobutane) and cyclopentane foaming material used for this appliance are flammable. Therefore, when the appliance reaches the end of its service life, it should be kept away from any fire source and disposed of according to local regulations to prevent damage to the environment or other harm.

  • When the refrigerator is disposed of, disassemble the doors and remove the gasket of the door and shelves. Put the doors and shelves in a proper place to prevent damage to the environment or any other harm.
  • Correct disposal of this product: This icon indicates this product should not be disposed of with other household wastes. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.

WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, fire, or electric shock.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

  • Do not pull on the power cord unplugging the refrigerator. Firmly grasp the plug and pull out it from the socket directly.
  • To ensure safe use, do not damage the power cord or use the power cord when it is damaged or worn.
  • Use a dedicated power outlet. The power outlet shall not be shared with any other electrical appliance. The power plug should be firmly connected to the outlet, or else the risk of fire or electrical shock increases.
  • Using an outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended.
  • The appliance must be grounded. Ensure that the grounding electrode of the power outlet is equipped with a reliable grounding line.
  • In the event of a gas leakage or leakage of other flammable gases in your kitchen, immediately turn off the valve of the leaking gas and then open the doors and windows. Do not unplug the refrigerator and/or other electrical appliances if gas is present, as that may spark and cause a fire.
  • Do not operate electrical appliances on the top of the appliance or directly adjacent to the appliance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

  • The appliance should be located out of direct sunlight and in the coolest area of the kitchen, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts.
  • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them inside the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
  • Be sure to wrap food properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up.
  • Refrigerator storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
  • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

CUTOUT DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES

When placing the refrigerator in a cabinet cutout, reference the following minimal clearance dimensions, which are recommended to facilitate proper ventilation:

  • 2″ (51 mm): Gap between the top of the refrigerator and the cabinet above
  • 2″ (51 mm): Gap between the refrigerator and back wall
  • 3/4″ (20 mm): Gap between refrigerator sides and the cabinet

RECOMMENDED CABINET CUTOUT DIMENSIONS

  • Width: 37 1/4″ (946 mm)
  • Depth: Varies (see below)
  • Height: 71 7/8″ (1826 mm)

DEPTH NOTES:

  • As noted on page 7, the depth of the unit without the doors is 29 1/2″ (749 mm). This means a cabinet depth could technically be as deep as 31 1/2″ (800 mm) when adding the additional 2″ (51 mm) rear gap, as this would still allow for the doors to extend beyond the cutout and be able to open freely up to 135°.
  • Cabinets can be shorter; just note the unit will extend beyond the cabinet depth. Since kitchen layouts vary, ZLINE recommends consulting with a professional installer to verify cabinet dimensions and electrical connections before installing the appliance.
DISASSEMBLING THE DOORS

NOTE:
Refrigerators are shipped with doors already installed; units are roughly 34″ (863 mm) deep. Depending on the size of your home’s doorways, you may need to remove the doors to transport the unit inside before installation. It’s recommended to remove the freezer door first, as this allows easier access to remove the refrigerator doors.

WARNING

  • When replacing or disassembling doors after the unit has been installed, always disconnect the appliance from power — and turn the water off to the unit and drain the water lines — to avoid the risk of electric shock or personal injury.
  • Due to the weight of appliance doors, two people should perform the following process to avoid the risk of personal injury or damage.

FREEZER DRAWER

  1. Fully pull out the freezer door and remove both drawers inside by hand (this process is outlined on page 12). Set the drawers and plastic ice scooper aside.
  2. The door is secured to 2 brackets affixed to the guiding rails, each with 4 screws (see Figure 1). Remove the 8 screws with a Phillips screwdriver or drill bit, using care as the door may drop to the ground once all screws are removed.
  3. Set the screws and door aside and push the gliding rails into the freezer. Use care when sliding the rails back in to ensure they go in evenly. Use tape if necessary to make sure the rails do not slide out during transport.

REPLACING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

  1. Position the right door at roughly 90° and insert the metal pin at the bottom of the door so it fits into the lower hinge receptacle (see Figure 4). Close the door.
  2. Re-secure the upper black hinge removed earlier with the same 3 Phillips-head screws.
  3. Follow the same process with the left door so the metal pin at the bottom of the door fits into the lower hinge receptacle, then re-secure the upper black hinge.
  4. Re-connect the white electrical harness, water line, and blue clips to secure the water line.
  5. With both doors secured, reconnect both small wiring harnesses, then move the top hinge cover panel back into place. Make sure all wires are safely secured under the hinge cover, using care to not pinch any wires.
  6. Re-secure the top hinge cover with the 3 screws removed previously.

REPLACING THE FREEZER DOOR

  1. Following the reverse of the steps on page 10, re-secure the freezer door with the white brackets on each of the gliding rails.
  2. Ensure the 2 door studs on each door fit into the holes on the brackets (see Figure 5), then re-secure the 8 screws removed earlier. Hand tighten at first, then fully secure with a drill or screwdriver.ZLINE-Kitchen-and-Bath-RSM-W-36-Inch-Freestanding-Refrigeration-fig- \(8\)

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage to the appliance. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power source before performing any work on the water connection. Only a qualified technician may connect the appliance to the water supply by plumbing and local regulations.

Connecting the water line to a drinkable (potable) water source:

  • If your water line is NOT potable, add an external water filter.
  • If you must repair or disassemble the water line, have a qualified technician cut off the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only:

  • Minimum pressure: 40 psig (0.28 MPa)
  • Maximum pressure: 100 psig (0.69 MPa)
  • Pressure over 100 psig (0.69 MPa): Install a pressure limiter between the drinking water connection and the hose set.

Other water connection instructions:

  • A cold water connection is necessary for ice maker operation. Pressure must be between 40–100 psig (0.28–0.69 MPa). Installation must follow local plumbing regulations.
  • A separate shut-off valve should be installed in the cold-water inflow. The valve should not be located behind the appliance. It is recommended a qualified technician mount the shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or at another place that is easily accessible.
  • When installing water connections, pay attention to the permissible installation area.
  • For the drinking water line connection, use only water pipes suitable for drinking water. Observe national regulations and conditions provided by local water supply companies.

Water pressure and making ice:
When first using the appliance, it may take up to 12 hours for both ice makers to fill completely. If it takes considerably longer, it may be due to low water pressure causing only a small portion of the ice trays to fill with water, which results in a slower ice-making speed. Since each situation is unique, consult a professional regarding your home’s recommended psi limits to achieve optimal ice-making conditions.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

NOTE:
A water line installation kit is required to complete the water line installation. Kits are available at most local hardware stores.

  1. Turn off the main water supply and attach the new 1/4″ stainless steel braided line in the kit to the 1/4″ connector to the main water shut-off valve located at the wall behind the refrigerator. Use pliers or a wrench to ensure the connection is snug.
  2. Connect the other end of the braided line to the 1/4″ to 1/4″ brass compression connector that is provided in the water line kit. Take off the other end by unscrewing the brass connector.
  3. Slide the female screw connection piece that was taken off of the brass connector and with the brass ring around the base of the plastic water line that extends from the back of and attaches to the refrigerator.
  4. Then, take the plastic line, and with the female connection piece, securely tighten it to the brass connector piece. You’ll need two wrenches to hold one side while you’re turning the other to ensure the connection is snug.
  5. Finally, turn on the water supply slowly to make sure there are no water leaks. Flush several gallons of water to clear the water supply line.

ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original purchase date of the product and solely cover the original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. The limited warranty covers all parts and labor for necessary repairs if any part of the product, or the product itself, proves to be defective in materials or workmanship.

The product must be deemed serviceable via troubleshooting with the ZLINE Customer Experience team. All service on ZLINE products under warranty must be performed by ZLINE-approved and ZLINE-certified service providers unless otherwise specified by ZLINE. Service will be provided during normal business hours. Products must be unobstructed and accessible to the service provider at the time of service. ZLINE’s liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries, losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in materials are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
