Explosion and Fire Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliances. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Hisense HQD20 Use & Care Refrigerator User Manual.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.
Temperature
This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Ventilation
Adequate air circulation around the refrigerator is required for efficient operation. To ensure proper ventilation, maintain the recommended clearances.

• 4″ Above
• 2″ Behind
• 1/2″ Each Side

NOTE: If you place the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 4″ (10 cm) minimum space to allow the door to swing open.

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 125 psi (207 and 862 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
IMPORTANT: Operation outside the water pressure range may cause malfunction and severe, damaging water leaks.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, ice cubes could be hollow or irregularly shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply (if applicable)
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 125 psi (207 and 862 kPa).
If the water pressure is too low:
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Installation Instructions

Unpack the Refrigerator

Fire or Explosion Hazard

• If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period wait 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the oil to settle into the compressor.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of the refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Move Near the Water Supply

WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard

• Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
• Follow handling instructions carefully.
• Flammable refrigerant used.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: The refrigerator must be located on a solid, level surface that is strong enough to support the refrigerator fully loaded.

• Before moving, retract the leveling legs to avoid scraping the floor.
• The refrigerator has wheels, which should be used for only forward and backward movement.

NOTE: Trying to move the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor.

Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

• The water connection must be made by a qualified plumber.
• Plumbing must be installed by the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
• Use ONLY NEW Copper or PEX tubing.
• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Connect Water Line to Household Water Supply
Following are two methods of connecting to your household water supply. Use the instructions specific to your installation.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
Method 1: Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• 1/2″ Wrench or 2 Adjustable Wrenches
• Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
• 1/4″ Compression Nut
• Ferrule (sleeve)

1. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent served by a household supply line.
   NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2″ household supply line is recommended.
2. Using the ferrule (sleeve) and compression nut, connect the 1/4″ water line to the shutoff valve.
   NOTE: Do not overtighten.
   • Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
   • Ferrule (Sleeve)
   • Compression Nut
   • 1/4″ Water Line
   • Household Supply Line
3. Place the free end of the water line into an empty container or sink.
4. Turn on the main water supply and open the shutoff valve to flush the water line of any contaminants. Run water until it is clear.

Method 2: Saddle Valve
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade Screwdriver
• 1/2″ Wrench or 2 Adjustable Wrenches
• Cordless Drill
• 1/4″ Drill Bit
• 1/4″ Compression Nut
• Ferrule (sleeve)

1. Find a 1/2″ to 11/4″ (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
   IMPORTANT:
   • Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
   • The horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
2. Determine the length of the water line you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4″ (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) water line.
3. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4″ hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
4. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4″ drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not over-tighten.
   • Household Supply Line
   • Saddle Valve
   • Packing Nut
   • Shutoff Valve
   • Ferrule (Sleeve)
   • Compression Nut
   • 1/4″ Water Line
5. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the water line as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or you may crush the water line.
6. Place the free end of the water line into an empty container or sink.
7. Turn on the main water supply and open the shutoff valve to flush the water line of any contaminants. Run water until it is clear.
