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 Warning: Make sure that standard

1/2" valve fitting fed by cold mains water supply is available and is turned off fully.

Note -1: There is no need to use water

filter in case a jug is used.

Note -2: Pump must be used when jug

will be used.

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.

Prior to first use of Ice/Water Dispenser

C Water mains pressure must not be

below 1 bar.

C Water mains pressure must not be

over 8 bars.

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 startup 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 12 hours must pass to obtain ice
