climb inside.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators, are still dangerous, even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants: Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
WARNING
Explosion Hazard Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable Refrigerant Used. Do Not Use Mechanical Devices to Defrost Refrigerator. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. Wipe up spills immediately. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between all sections, any odors formed
in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean all sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on doors and cabinet, plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the following cleaning instructions.
Cleaning the Touch Screen Display on the Dispenser Panel (on some models):
1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected before wiping the screen to avoid unintentionally changing the settings.
2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen. NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen or over-saturate the cloth.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Cleaning the Interior:
IMPORTANT: Refrigerator shelves with under-shelf, LED lighting are not dishwasher safe.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

3

Cleaning the Exterior:
IMPORTANT: Damage to smooth finish due to improper use of cleaning products or using non-recommended cleaning products is not covered under the warranty. Sharp or blunt instruments will mar the finish.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water, wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry stainless steel and painted metal exteriors.
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved stainless steel cleaner and polish. This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
NOTE : When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
Do not allow the stainless steel cleaner and polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Style 1: Smooth Door/Painted Metal

DO USE

DO NOT USE

Soft, clean cloth

Abrasive cloths Paper towels or newsprint Steel-wool pads

Warm, soapy water with a mild detergent

Abrasive powders or liquids

Condenser Cleaning
WARNING

3. Depending on your model, lift the back or front of the shelf past the stop. Pull the shelf out the rest of the way.
To replace a shelf: 1. Slide the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the
cabinet. 2. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide
the shelf in all the way.

Explosion Hazard
Risk of Fire or Explosion due to Puncture of Refrigerant Tubing;
Follow Handling Instructions Carefully.
Flammable Refrigerant Used.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 6 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove the base grille. 3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the
open areas behind the grille, and the front surface area of the condenser. 4. Replace the base grille when finished. 5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: If you are unable to clean the condenser, please call for service.
Changing the LED Module
IMPORTANT: The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments use LED technology that do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance or service. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for contact information.
If an LED module(s) do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service.
Refrigerator Shelves
Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy
Glass Shelves
To remove a shelf: 1. Remove items from the shelf. 2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.

Shelves with Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame: 1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports. 2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports. 3. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.
Shelves with Under-Shelf Lighting (on some models)
By moving LED lighting to a new spot under the shelves, this leading-edge technology improves interior refrigerator lighting and aids in locating storage items. For models with the shelf frames, the hooks on the rear of the
shelf must be fully engaged in the shelf supports to maintain proper electrical flow. No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be used in the refrigerator at one time.
Shelves with Shelf Mounts
Shelf height can be adjusted by changing the adjustable shelf mounts between their vertical and horizontal positions. 1. Carefully lift the shelf off the shelf mounts and turn the flipper
to the desired orientation. 2. Repeat for remaining shelf mounts. 3. Apply pressure to the top of the shelf to ensure the shelf is
properly seated on the shelf mounts.

To remove and replace shelves:
1. Make sure adjustable shelf mounts are in the lower position before removing shelves. Also doors will need to be open at a 90° angle. If open wider, it will make it harder to remove the shelves.
2. Remove the middle shelf or top shelf by lifting it up and out of the shelf supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt down to a vertical position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of the refrigerator.
Infinity slide glass shelves should be pushed back in. When tilted up, make sure glass does not slide to front.
NOTE: Remove middle shelf first before removing top shelf.
3. Remove the bottom shelf by lifting it up and out of the shelf supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt up to a vertical position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of the refrigerator.
4. Replace the middle and top shelves by putting the shelf in the refrigerator at an angle with the shelf front down. Lift the front of the shelf up and slide in until rear shelf drops into the shelf supports. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.
5. Replace the bottom shelf by putting the shelf in the refrigerator at an angle with the shelf up. Lift the front of the shelf down and slide in until rear shelf drops into the shelf supports. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.
Tuck/Slide Away Shelf (on some models)
Some shelves will tuck/slide away to create room for taller objects.
To retract and extend the front section of the shelf:
1. To retract the front-section of the shelf, slightly lift up on the front edge and push the adjustable portion of the shelf back toward the rear of the refrigerator.
2. Extend the front of the shelf by pulling the retracted portion of the shelf outward until it is fully extended.

MicroEdge® Glo Shelves (on some models)
The hooks on the rear of the shelf must be fully engaged in the shelf supports to maintain proper electrical flow. No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be used in the refrigerator at one time.
Opening and Closing Doors
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. On some models, there is a, automatic closing mechanism so the door(s) will not unintentionally be left open. If a door is open at a 40° or smaller angle, the door will automatically, softly close. IMPORTANT: If the doors do not automatically close at a 40° or smaller angle, see “Bottom Door Hinge.” There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door. When the left-hand door is opened, the hinged seal
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way. When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
forms a seal between the two doors.
A. Hinged seal
The refrigerator compartment door switch is located in the top left and right hinge cover. The door switch uses magnet to sense door opening/closing. Ensure there are no magnet or electronic devices (Speaker,
CoolVox®, etc) within 3 inches of the hinge cap. NOTE: The light and internal user interface (UI) will not turn on if the door opening is not detected.

Foldaway Shelf (on some models)
To retract the fold away shelf: Retract the fold away section of the shelf by holding the front of the shelf with one hand and lifting up on the center front of the shelf. Then push back and down on the shelf until it slides beneath the back section of the shelf.

Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools Needed:

Flat-blade screwdriver

1/4″ Nut driver

7/16″ and 1/2″ Open-end or two 1/4″ Drill bit

adjustable wrenches

Cordless drill

Connect to potable water supply only

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.

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
For models with water filters, the disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 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.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

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 refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 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. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System”.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:
Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
The water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend contacting Service to obtain current part numbers.
Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
Connect to a potable water supply only.

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.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Flat-blade screwdriver

1/4″ Nut driver

7/16″ and 1/2″ Open-end or two 1/4″ Drill bit

adjustable wrenches

Cordless drill

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4″ (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper or PEX tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercingtype or 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water. 3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a
1/2″ copper or PEX household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2″ size copper or PEX household supply line is recommended.

A. Bulb B. Nut

C. Copper or PEX tubing (to refrigerator)
D. Household supply line (½” minimum)

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the shutoff valve. Use 1/4″ (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper or PEX tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the refrigerator.
Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves and compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end
of the water line inlet. 3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

A. Compression sleeve
B. Compression nut

C. Copper or PEX tubing

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible water valve malfunction.
6. Bend the copper or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Connect to Refrigerator
Depending on your model, the water line may come down from the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions for your model.
Style 1
1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper or PEX tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper or PEX tubing is secure by pulling on tubing.
2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the tubing. Secure copper or PEX tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

A. Household water line
B. Nut (purchased)

C. Ferrule (purchased) D. Refrigerator water tubing

4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply line to reduce strain on the coupling.
5. Turn shutoff valve on. 6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install in the 1/4 (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance dealer.
Style 3
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a 1/2″ to 11/4″ (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator 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 copper tubing are cut square.

A. Copper or PEX tubing
B. “P” clamp

C. Compression nut D. Compression sleeve

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve G. Packing nut

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″ 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 the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
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 or you may crush the copper tubing.
8. Place the free end of the 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.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing.
2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.
3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight into the port to avoid kinks.
4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the water valve inlet port.

A. “P” clamp B. Plastic water line C. Water valve inlet

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any setting between Fruit and Vegetables or Low and High. Fruit/Low (open): Move control to allow moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf. Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper. Vegetables/High (closed):q Move control to keep moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables. Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Water and Ice Dispensers (on some models)
For additional information on how to use your water and ice dispensers, see the online “Dispensing Guide.”
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
The dispenser will dispense either water or ice.
The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open.
On some models, the display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.

14

The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt. (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.
With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” and online “Troubleshooting” for more information.
Cleaning the Ice Dispenser Chute
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.
If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
IMPORTANT:
To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water and Ice Dispenser” for details.
Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard ice. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.
Ice Production Rate
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) (8 to 12 batches) of ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature, or see “Control Panel Descriptions” in the Quick Start Guide for details. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Outils requis :

Tournevis à tête plate

Tourne-écrou de 1/4 po

Clés plates de 7/16 po et 1/2 po Foret de 1/4 po

ou deux clés à molette

Perceuse sans fil

Brancher sur une alimentation en eau potable uniquement

Ne pas utiliser ce produit pour filtrer une eau microbiologiquement polluée ou de qualité inconnue en l’absence d’un dispositif de désinfection adéquat en amont ou en aval du système. Les systèmes certifiés pour la réduction des kystes peuvent être utilisés pour une eau désinfectée susceptible de contenir des kystes filtrables.

Toutes les installations doivent être conformes aux exigences des codes locaux de plomberie.

Ne pas employer de robinet d’arrêt à étrier de 3/16 po (4,76 mm) ou de type à percer ­ ils réduisent le débit d’eau et s’obstruent plus facilement.

Utiliser un tuyau en cuivre ou en polyéthylène réticulé et vérifier qu’il n’y a pas de fuite. Installer seulement des tuyaux en cuivre ou en polyéthylène réticulé là où les températures resteront au-dessus du point de congélation.

Pour les modèles avec filtre à eau, le filtre à eau jetable doit être remplacé au moins tous les 6 mois.

Pression d’eau

Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 35 et 120 lb/po2 (241 et 827 kPa) est nécessaire pour faire fonctionner le distributeur d’eau et la machine à glaçons. Pour toute question au sujet de la pression de l’eau, faire appel à un plombier qualifié agréé.

REMARQUE : Si la pression en eau est inférieure aux critères minimaux, le débit du distributeur d’eau pourrait diminuer ou entraîner la formation de glaçons creux ou de forme irrégulière.

Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
IMPORTANT : La pression de l’alimentation en eau entre le système d’osmose inverse et le robinet d’arrivée d’eau du réfrigérateur doit se situer entre 241 à 827 kPa (35 et 120 lb/po²).
Si un système de filtration de l’eau par osmose inverse est raccordé à votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de l’eau au système doit être d’un minimum de 276 à 414 kPa (40 à 60 lb/ po²).
Si la pression d’eau au système de filtration par osmose inverse est inférieure à 276 – 414 kPa (40 – 60 lb/po²) :
Vérifier que le filtre à sédiment dans le système à osmose inverse n’est pas obstrué. Remplacer le filtre si nécessaire.
Laisser le réservoir du système d’osmose inverse se remplir après une utilisation intense. La capacité du réservoir est peutêtre trop faible pour répondre aux spécifications du réfrigérateur.
REMARQUE : Un système d’osmose inverse monté sur robinet est déconseillé.
Si le réfrigérateur comporte un filtre à eau, celui-ci peut réduire la pression de l’eau lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un système d’osmose inverse. Enlever le filtre à eau. Consulter la section « Système de filtration d’eau ».
Pour toute question au sujet de la pression de l’eau, faire appel à un plombier qualifié agréé.

Raccordement à la canalisation d’eau

Lire toutes les instructions avant de commencer.

IMPORTANT :
Réaliser l’installation de plomberie conformément aux prescriptions du International Plumbing Code et des normes et codes locaux en vigueur.

Le tuyau d’eau situé à l’arrière du réfrigérateur (et utilisé pour raccorder l’appareil à la canalisation d’eau du domicile) est un tuyau en polyéthylène réticulé. Il est possible d’utiliser des raccords en cuivre et en polyéthylène réticulé pour le raccordement de la canalisation d’eau du domicile au réfrigérateur; ils contribuent à éviter que l’eau ait un goût ou une odeur désagréable. Vérifier qu’il n’y a pas de fuites. Si on utilise un tuyau en polyéthylène réticulé au lieu d’un tuyau de cuivre, nous recommandons de communiquer avec le service pour obtenir les numéros de pièces actuels.
Installer des tuyaux seulement là où les températures resteront au-dessus du point de congélation.
Raccorder à la canalisation d’arrivée d’eau potable uniquement.

Ne pas utiliser ce produit pour filtrer une eau microbiologiquement polluée ou de qualité inconnue en l’absence d’un dispositif de désinfection adéquat en amont ou en aval du système.
