Connecting the water supply line to 
the refrigerator.

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.

•  ¼” copper tubing
•  ¼” compression nut (1pc)
•  Ferrule (2pc)

•  ¼” plastic tubing  

→

 Molded end(Bulb)

•  ¼” compression nut (1pc)

1.  Connect the household water line to the 

assembled compression fitting.

 

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the 

compression nut ( 

B ) (not supplied) and 

ferrule (not supplied) on 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 ( 

B ).

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.

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.

You can test the water line quickly using a 
paper cup. Under normal conditions, the 
water dispenser can fill a 5.75 oz. (170cc) 
cup in about 10 seconds.

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.)
