Setting up your refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator
  • Remove the interior packing.
  • Let your refrigerator stand upright for approximately four hours before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
  • Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda.
  • Wait for approximately two hours after moving your refrigerator or plugging it in for the first time so that the coolant fluid settles.
  • For correct operation, you should level your refrigerator using the leveling feet. If you do not level your refrigerator, the doors may not close or seal correctly, causing cooling, frost, and moisture problems. Turn the leveling feet clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower a side. The leveling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push against the top of your refrigerator to take some weight off.
  • When moving your refrigerator, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.
Finding a suitable location
  • Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support your refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
  • Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.
  • Your refrigerator is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.
  • If you use your refrigerator in a garage, make sure that the ambient temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 109° F (43° C).
  • Adjust the feet to keep your refrigerator level.
  • If you locate your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.
  • Position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent your refrigerator from performing correctly.
  • Avoid locating your refrigerator in moist areas. Your refrigerator is designed to operate in a temperature range of 50° F (10° C) and 109° F (43° C). If you operate your refrigerator outside this temperature range, your refrigerator may not work correctly.
Providing correct ventilation

Your refrigerator needs at least 0.5″ (1.3 cm) between it and the surrounding side walls, at least 3.9″ (10 cm) between it and the ceiling, and at least 2″ (5.1 cm) between it and the back wall.

Insignia-NS-RFD21CISS0 20.9-Cu. Ft.-French-Door-Refrigerator-Fig6

Connecting the water supply

Your refrigerator comes with a water dispenser and an ice maker. To use these features, you need to connect your refrigerator to a drinking (potable) water supply. In order for the ice maker to operate correctly, the water pressure needs to be between 30 and 125 psi.

CAUTIONS:

  • A qualified plumber should make the water connection.
  • Using water pressure that is outside the 30 to 125 psi range can cause serious malfunction and severe, damaging water leaks.

Note: If you install your refrigerator in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

You will need the following tools and parts (not included):
You need to purchase several items to complete this connection. You may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

Insignia-NS-RFD21CISS0 20.9-Cu. Ft.-French-Door-Refrigerator-Fig21

CAUTIONS:
Make sure that you:

  • Use the tubing that came with your refrigerator and the water line installation kit. Do not use old tubing.
  • Connect to the cold water pipe. If you connect to the hot water pipe, the purifier may malfunction.
  • Do not contaminate the water pipes during installation.

 

  • Shut off the main water supply.
  • Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill a hole into the cold water line, then install the saddle-type shutoff valve.

  • Connect the household water supply line to the assembled compression fitting. If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied). OR If you are using plastic tubing, insert the molded end (bulb) of the plastic tubing into the compression fitting.

Important: Do not use without the molded end (bulb) of the plastic tubing.

OR If you are using stainless steel tubing, slip the compression nut on the copper tubing (not supplied).

  • Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut.
  • Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply, then check the connections and tighten, if necessary.
  • Flush one gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from your refrigerator. (Flush approximately five minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, then empty it into the kitchen sink. Repeat until you dispense about one gallon of water.
  • After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for one to two days. Over that period of time, throw out the first one or two buckets of ice the freezer makes to make sure that all impurities have been removed from the water line.

Notes:

  • Make sure that you connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
  • You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup.
  • The first time you use the water dispenser, you may hear the sound of water pushing air out of the water dispenser. This is normal.
  • 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.

Tips on saving energy

  • Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
  • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
  • Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up.
  • Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make your refrigerator 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.
