setting up

4.   Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before 

drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. 
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a 
large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. 
Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is 
filled, and then repeat.

5.   After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker 

make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, 
throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer 
makes to ensure all impurities have been removed 
from the water line.

Only connect the water line to a drinkable water 
source.

If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut 
off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a 
snug, leak-free connection.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in 
place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features 
and functions of the appliance. By completing the 
following steps, your refrigerator should be fully 
operational.
1.   Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate 

location with reasonable clearance between it and 
the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this 
manual.

2.   Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the 

interior light comes on when you open the doors.

3.   Set the Temperature control to the coldest 

temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer 
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run 
smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the 
temperatures you want.

4.   After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few 

hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You 
can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after 
the temperature is sufficiently cool.

If condensation or water drops appears on both 
sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy 
Saver mode off after removing the condensation. 
(See the explanation on Energy Saver button in 
the USING THE CONTROL PANEL.)

There are several items that you need to purchase to 
complete this connection. 
You may find these items sold as a kit at your local 
hardware store.

1.   Connect the household water line to the assembled 

compression fitting.

-  If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression 

nut (

the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.

-  If you are using plastic tubing ( B ) , insert the 

molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( 

B ) into the 

compression fitting.

Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of
the plastic tubing (

2.   Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the 

compression fitting. 
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( 

B ) .

3.   Turn water on and check for any leakage. If you find 

water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn 
off the main water supply. Check the connections 
and, if necessary, tighten.
