1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water 

tube on the rear of the refrigerator. 

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long 

enough, a 

¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed 

in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household 
water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the 
end of the copper tubing. 

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench 
two more turns. Do not overtighten. 

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including 

connections at the valve) that leak.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers” in 

the User Instructions or User Guide.

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 
72 hours to completely fill ice container.

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser 
panel.

IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel 
will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the 
control buttons and dispenser lever 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. 

■

Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate 
the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.  

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are 
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make 
sure that both the refrigerator and freezer controls are still set to 
“4,” the recommended “mid-setting.” 

■

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you 
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your 
food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than 
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any 
faster.

■

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or 
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not 
blocked before adjusting the controls.

■

The preset settings should be correct for normal household 
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as 
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the 
temperatures before other adjustments are made.

When adjusting set points, use the following chart as a guide.
