1	2
3	4	*5

Place where the external filter is going to be fitted should be determined first. (Applies to the filter being used outside the refrigerator.) Then, determine the distance between the filter and the refrigerator and required hose lengths from the filter to the refrigerator water inlet.

Water filter must be hold upright as shown in the figure. It is important to properly attach the filter to water inlet and water outlet points.

After attaching the filter, do not use first 3-4

glasses of water.

Connection of the Water Pipe to the Refrigerator

1.After installing the union onto the water pipe, insert the water pipe to the refrigerator inlet valve by pressing downwards firmly.

2.Fix union as seen in the opposite figure, by squeezing by hand on the refrigerator inlet valve.

(a- Water Pipe, b-Union, c-Valve)

C Note 1: You should not need to tighten the union with a tool to achieve water tight assembly. In case of a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers to tighten the union.

Connection of Water Hose to the Jug

(in some models)

To connect water to the refrigerator from a jug, a pump is needed. Follow the instructions below after connecting one end of the water pipe coming out of the pump to the refrigerator as described on the previous page.

1.Finish the connection by pushing the other end of the water pipe into the water pipe inlet of the pump as shown in the figure.

2.Put and fix the pump hose into the jug as shown in the figure.

3.After completing the connection, plug in and run the pump.

To provide an efficient operation of the pump, wait for 2-3 minutes after starting the pump.

C You may refer to the user manual of the pump while making the water connection.

C There is no need to use water filter in case a jug is used.

C Pump must be used when jug will be used.

14 EN

Connection of the Water Pipe to the Cold Water Mains Line

(in some models)

If you want to use your refrigerator by connecting it to the cold water mains line,

you will have to connect a standard 1/2" valve connection fitting to the cold water supply in your house. In case this valve is not present or in case you are not sure, consult a qualified plumber.

1. Separate the union from the tap adaptor. (Figure A)

2. Install the tap adaptor to 1/2” valve fitting as shown in the figure. (Figure B)

3. After inserting the water pipe to the union, install it to the tap adaptor and insert to the tap as shown in the figure. (Figure C)

4. Tighten the union manually. In case of a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers to tighten the union.

A Caution: Secure the water pipe to suitable points by means of the pipe clips supplied to avoid any

damage or displacement or accidental disconnection.

A Caution: After turning on the water valve, make sure that there is no leakage at both connection points of the water pipe. In case of a leak, turn off the valve immediately and tighten all joints again using a spanner or a pair of pliers.

A Caution: Make sure that standard 1/2" valve fitting fed by cold mains water supply is available and is turned off fully.

15 EN

To fit the water filter follow the instructions below referring to figures supplied:

1. Press ice cancel button on the display.

2.Remove the filter cover in the fridge compartment by pulling it forward.

3.Take out the water filter by-pass cover by rotating it downwards.

A Caution: Make sure that the “Ice off” mode is active before taking out the bypass cover.

4.Remove the lid on top of the water filter to place it as shown in the figure and turn upwards to lock it.

5.Press ice cancel button on the display again to exit from this mode.

Water filter should be replaced every 6 months.

If you want to have the filter change time calculated automatically and receive a warning at the end of usage time, please read "Calculating the Filter Usage Time Automatically" section.

16 EN

The water filter must be removed as shown in the figure when it is going to be replaced or when it will no longer be used and by-pass cover must be attached. It must be made sure that Ice Off mode is active before taking it out.

A Caution: Water filter cleans some foreign particles in the water. It does not purify water from microorganisms.

A Caution: Ice Off button must always be pressed during replacement of the water filter or installing the by-pass cover.

Prior to first use of Water Dispenser

C Water mains pressure must not be below 1 bar.

C Water mains pressure must not be above 8 bars.

C Pumps must be used in case the supply water pressure drops below 1 bar or if a jug is going to be used.

C Water system of the refrigerator must be connected to the cold water line. It must not be connected to hot water line.

C No water may be obtained in the initial operation of the refrigerator. This is caused by the air in the system. To discharge air from the system, press Dispenser latch for periods of 1 minute until water comes from the Dispenser. Water flow may be irregular in the beginning. Irregular water flow will be normalized after the air in the system is discharged.

C At the initial startup of the refrigerator approx.12 hours must pass before cold water can be obtained.

C Water mains pressure must be between 1-8 bars for the operation of Ice/Water Dispenser smoothly. For this, check that 1 glass of water (100 cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.

C The first 10 glasses of water should not be consumed.

C Approximately the first 30 cubes of ice to be obtained from the Ice Dispenser must not be used.

C Always use the water filter when a jug is not being used.

17 EN

4 Preparation

C Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

C The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions than this is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

C Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

C If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

C When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

- The door should not be opened frequently.

- It must be operated empty without any food in it.
