To prevent a suffocation hazard for children or pets, do not allow them to play inside the drawer.
Connecting the Water Supply Line
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

Shut off the main water supply:


Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

Choose the valve location:


Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect
into the side of a vertical water pipe. If necessary to connect to a horizontal
water pipe, make the connection at the top or side rather than at the bottom, to
avoid any sediment from the water pipe.

Drill the hole for the valve:


Drill a ¼” hole in the water pipe (even if you are using a self-piercing valve)
using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Make sure not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼” hole may
result in reduced ice production or smaller ice cubes.

Fasten the shutoff valve:


Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR must be adhered
to. Saddle valves are illegal and use in not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

Tighten the pipe clamp:


Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing water begins to swell. Do not over-
tighten or you may crush the tubing.

Route the tubing:


Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. Route the
tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or
adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be sure there is
sufficient extra tubing (about 8', 2.4m, coiled into 3 turns of about 10”, 25cm
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
Connecting the Water Supply Line
Connect the tubing to the valve:
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper onto the end of the
tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted
into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely. Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR must be adhered to. Saddle vales are
illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed
plumber.

Flush out the tubing:


Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter) of water has
been flushed through the tubing.

Connect the tubing to the refrigerator:

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged
into the wall outlet.

a.Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

b.Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the
tubing as shown.

The height of the suspending shelf is adjustable


The height of the suspending shelf can be adjusted to fit the food you want to
store. To adjust the shelf, disassemble the shelf by raising the shelf gradient,
then raising and dismounting the shelf. When re-installing the shelf, put the
connecting part inside the groove, then lower the front of the shelf and insert it
into the groove.

Make sure the shelf is level and that both sides are on
equal groves, or it may drop food and cause leakage.

Crisper and its usage


This fridge has a crisper. You can adjust the humidity in
the crisper according to the food you store.

For high humidity: Turn the knob on the right side of the crisper up.
This is suitable to store cucumbers, grapes, kiwis, persimmons, etc.

For low humidity: Turn the knob on the right side of the crisper
down. This is suitable to store strawberries, oranges, green beans,
garlic, watermelons, plums, tomatoes, and more.

When removing the crisper, make sure that the cover front is on the
inner side of the crisper, and then remove it. The crisper cover can
only be taken off after the crisper is removed. When putting the
crisper back in, put the cover on first, and then put the crisper into
the refrigerator.

Usage of Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser


Preparation before using the ice maker and cold water dispenser:
a.Cut the water pipe according to need, and avoid bending the water pipe too much. Usually the length should be
less than 5 meters (18 feet). If the water pipe is too long, the ice content and cold water content are affected
because there is not enough water pressure.
b.The water pipe cannot stand heat. Keep it away from heat sources.
c.You may want to have a service engineer install the water pipe.
d.During the first use, in order to supply water to the fresh food compartment, press the cold water button several
times for 1 minute each. Do not press the cold water button for longer than a minute, to prevent overheating of the
water valve. Cold water will begin to flow from the outlet.
e.Water supply pipe instruction: The cold water pressure should be 21-123 psi for automatic ice making.
f.The purifier is only for filtering. It cannot sterilize or destroy anything.Therefore, make sure to connect the water
pipe to a drinkable water source.

Precautions
a.To prevent the pipe from freezing, do not install the water pipe in place below 32°F.
b.Open water valve to flush pipe, and check leakage in water pipe joints until water is clean.
c.When temperature of icemaker is equal to or below 5°F, the icemaker will begin to make ice. (Throw out the first
several batches of ice cubes if you make ice after not having made it for a long time.)
d.After the fridge is installed, put the water supply pipe in a proper place to prevent pressing and damage.
e.The filter in the water pipe is there to filter impurities in the water and to make ice clean and hygienic. Therefore,
the filter will absorb impurities during normal use. After a long time of usage, if the cubed ice becomes smaller, it
may mean that the filter is blocked from the impurities. After 6 months of use, the “Change Filter” indicator light will
turn on. At this time, we suggest you go to an authorized Haier after-sale service center or shop to buy a new filter
and change it. After you change the filter, the indicator light will turn off. The refrigerator comes with a filter installed;
after this you have to buy and change the filter yourself.
f.The icemaker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.
Usage of Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser
Working Principle:
The ice maker can make 8 ice cubes per cycle. The ice content will depend on room temperature, door
openings, water pressure, freezer temperature, etc. It is considered normal when ice cubes stick
together.

Wait 24 hours after installing the refrigerator before you being making ice.

If this is your first icemaker:


Occasionally you may hear some sounds, like water flowing or ice dropping. These sounds are normal.
Occasionally, in periods of infrequent ice use, cubes may stick together and clog the dispenser. Remove
the ice cream holder and lift up the ice bucket. Shake it from side to side to dislodge the cubes. Return
the ice bucket and ice cream holder. Cubes should dispense normally now.

If you do not use ice often:


Older ice cubes can get stale. Clean the ice container periodically and use warm water to clean. Before
putting it back, make sure to dry it so new ice does not stick to it.

When you do not use the ice container for an extended time:
If you will not be using the ice container for a long time (such as during the winter), throw out the
remaining ice cubes, wash the container with warm water, dry it with a towel, and put it back in the
refrigerator. Then close the valve between the water supply and the fridge.

Dismounting and Installing the Ice Container


Dismounting the Ice Container: Reinstall the Ice Container:

When you use crushed ice:


Even if you are using cubed ice, you may still get some crushed ice. This can happen when several ice
cubes are sent to the ice crusher.
Sometimes a small mount of snow or frost will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal
and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The frost will eventually melt.

When you use cold water:


When you first push the lever, cold water might not come out immediately. This is because there may be
air in the pip. Press the lever for at least 2 minutes to clear out the air, and then fill your cup with water.
The first cup of water may be warmer than the following cups. This is normal. If you take out 2 cups, or 16

The water you will get is simply cooled water, with no ice cubes or crushed ice. For colder water, add
crushed ice or ice cubes to your cold water.

To avoid injury, never put your fingers or any other objects in the dispenser opening.

Defrosting, Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer defrosts automatically. No manual work is needed.

Cleaning
Food that is in the fridge for too long can produce an odor.
Periodical cleaning of the fridge is necessary.
Pull out the power plug before cleaning for your safety.
Clean the fridge with a soft towel or sponge moistened with
warm water.
Wipe off the water on the fridge with a dry cloth.

1.The fridge is heavy. When you move the fridge for cleaning or maintenance, be careful to
protect the floor. When you move the fridge, keep it vertical. Do not tilt the fridge. This
prevents damage to the floor.
2.During cleaning, do not spray or rinse the fridge with water or liquids. This could harm
the electrical parts.
3.When you clean the buttons and the lamp, use a dry cloth.
4.Do not clean the fridge with a stiff or wire brush, an organic solvent such as detergent,
petrol, lacquer, thinner, or acetone, hot water, acid, or alkali.
5.Make sure your hands are not wet when you touch cold steel parts, to prevent your skin
sticking to the steel parts.
6.During cleaning, do not use hot water to clean cold glass shelves, or they may break or
crack. This could damage the refrigerator and cause personal injury.
7.Door gaskets often become dirty. Clean them often.
Water Filter
The “Filter Indicator” Light
The filter indicator light alerts you when it is time to change the filter cartridge. If you don't change it often enough, water
quality will be affected. You should change the filter at least every 6 months, or when water flow from the refrigerator or
icemaker decreases noticeably. Please note that you may have to change the filter more often than every 6 months,
depending on local water conditions.

Filter replacement
1.Remove the old filter by turning the filter cartridge handle
counterclockwise.

2.The cartridge will eject slightly from the filter housing.

3.Pull out the cartridge from the filter housing.

Water may be retained in the old filter cartridge. This could


cause some water spillage through the filter housing drain.

4.Remove the protective heat seal from the new filter cartridge. Insert it into
the filter housing with the filter cartridge handle in the vertical position. Then
push the filter cartridge into the housing until it stops.

5.Gently turn the cartridge handle clockwise until it stops. The cartridge
handle should now be horizontal.

6.Run the refrigerator water dispenser for 5 minutes after replacing the filter, to
flush out the refrigerator system. Discard this water.

7.After replacing the Haier filter cartridge, reset the refrigerator display.

1.The refrigerator water dispenser and icemaker cannot be


used without the water filter.
2.For filter replacement questions or information on your Haier
appliances, contact your local dealer or call 1-877-337-3639.

1.Do not use water filter, dispenser, or icemaker with water that is microbiologically unsafe or if
you are not sure that it is safe, without disinfecting the water before or after it goes through the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
2.After installing a new water filter, discard all ice produced during the first 24 hours.
3.If the refrigerator drinking dispenser or icemaker has not been used actively for an extensive
period of time, or if ice cubes have an unpleasant taste or odor, change the water filter.
4.Air trapped in the system may cause water and filter cartridge to eject. Use caution when
removing.
Discontinuing or Breaking in Usage
Handling Power Failure
Foods can be stored well after several hours of power failure, even during
the summer. You should call your electric company to ask how long the food
will last.
After a power failure, do not put new food into the fridge, and open
the door as infrequently as possible.
If you are aware that there will be a power failure ahead of time, make
cubed ice and put it in the upper part of the fresh food compartment.

If the temperature becomes warmer in the freezer due to a power failure or other malfunction, the
expiration date on frozen food may change, and food quality may decrease.

Discontinuing Usage
If you do not want to use the fridge for a long period of time, pull out the
plug. Cut off all power supply and water sources. Clean the fridge as
directed in this manual. Leave the fridge door open to prevent any odors
from accumulating.

Vacation
If you will be on vacation for a long time, cut off the power source and
water supply, and take out all food. Clean the interior of the fridge after
any frost melts. Wipe it clean to remove any food residue that could
cause odors. If the ambient temperature is below freezing, call qualified
service personnel to drain the water system. This prevents leakage and
keeps the pipes from bursting due to frozen water.

During Transport

Pull out the plug and cut off the power.


Remove all food.
Fix all moveable parts, such as fresh food shelves, the crisper, and
freezer shelves, with tape.
Close the fridge doors and fix with tape to prevent opening during
transportation.
During transportation, the maximum slant angle must not be over
45° (from vertical standing) to prevent damage to the cooling
system.
During transportation, do not hold the handle of the fridge. This
could cause property damage and is a threat to personal safety.

It is suggested that you should not lay the refrigerator flat at any
time. If you have to put it flat, refer to the notice on the package.
The rate of frost buildup and internal
condensation increases.

Close the door gently.

Open the door less often.

Keep containers covered.
