Leveling & Door
In case freezer door is lower than refrigerator door...
The front of refrigerator needs to be higher just a little than the back for easy
door closing, but if the wheel is raised too much for door balance, i.e. front of
refrigerator is too higher than the back, it can be difficult to open the door.
2
Open the doors, unscrew the
front cover and remove, if it is
attached.
1
Insert a screw driver (flat tip) into a
groove of the left wheel (bottom of
freezer) and turn it clockwise until
the door is balanced. (clockwise to
raise freezer door ; counterclockwise
to lower)
Unless the freezer door is
balanced by step 1, then follow
the next steps.

2
Loosen 3 hinge bolts (2 on the left
+ 1 on the right) a little. (Do not
unfasten them completely.)
Insert a hexagonal wrench into the
groove of adjusting nut and turn
clockwise until the door is level.

suitable place.
After installation and/or door leveling, fasten front
cover with screws.(Remove the screws on the
front bottom panel first. Click and screw the cover)
Attaching of Water Filter Holder
Front Cover
Door Adjustment
Refrigerator must be level in order to maintain optimal performance and desirable front appearance.
(If the floor beneath the refrigerator is uneven, freezer and refrigerator doors look unbalanced.)
Loosen 3 hinge bolts(1 on the
left + 2 on the right) a little. (Do
not unfasten them completely.)
Insert a hexagonal wrench into
the groove of adjusting nut
and turn clockwise until the
door is level.
Once the door is balanced,
fasten the hinge bolts tightly and
screw the front cover.

1. The water pressure should be 3 kgf/cm
2
or more to run
the automatic icemaker
.
Checkup your tap water pressure ; if a cup of 180cc is
full within 10 seconds, the pressure is OK.
2. When installing the water tubes, ensure they are not colse
to any hot surfaces.
3. The water filter only "filters" water ; it does not eliminate
any bacteria or microbes.
4.If the water pressure is not so high to run the icemaker, call
the local plumber to get an additional water pressure pump.
5. The filter life depends on the amount of use. We recommend
you replace the filter at least once every 6months.
When attaching the filter, place it for easy access
(removing & replacing)
6. After installation of refrigerator and water line system, select
[WATER] on your control panel and press it for 2~3 minutes
to supply water into the water tank and dispense water
.
7. Use sealing tape to every connection of pipes/tubes to
ensure there is no water leak.
8. The water tube should be connected to the cold water line.
Check the parts below for installing water supply.
Some other necessary parts are available at your
local service agents.
Installation Procedure
1. Join [Connector A], [Connector B] and [Water Valve] to the tap water lines.

Caution
Caution
1) Switch off the main water line(valve).
2) Connect [Water Valve] and [Connector A].
3) Join [Connector A], [Connector B] to the tap water lines
Use only [Connector A + Water Valve] in case there's only
one tap water line.
Apply the sealing tape to all the joints as the figure shows.
If the connectors(valves) do not fit the existing water line,
call your service agent for additional guideance and action.
2. Connect the Water Tube to the Water Valve.
1) Insert the Nut to the Water tube.
2) Insert the Tube to the Valve as the figure shows.
3) Fasten the nut to join firmly.

6. Connect the Water Tube to the refrigerator.
1) Remove the rear cover at the bottom back of the refrigerator.
2) Insert the fastening ring into the Water tube.
(Be careful to follow the direction of the nut.)
3) Insert the Water Tube into the top of Water Valve, turn the nut clockwise
to fasten it. (The Water valve is to the right of the motors.)
4) Check for any bent tubes or water leaks; if so, re-ckeck instalation procedure.
5) Replace the rear cover. (The Water Tube should be placed between the
groove of the refrigerator back and motor cover.)

1)
Screw and fasten the filter holder to the left/right side of the
back of refrigerator.
In case the holder is not fastened well, remove the back
paper of the tape on the filter holder and attach it."
2) Insert the filter box into the holder.
1) Fasten the Water Tube with the [Fastener A] .
2)
Check if the tube is bent or sqeezed. If so, set it right to prevent any
water leak.

4. Remove any substances in the filter.
1)
Open the main tap water valve and check if water comes out of
the Water Tube.
2) Check if the Water Valve is open in case water does not come out.
3) Leave the valve open until clean water is coming out.
Initial water may contain some substances out of filter
