destroy microorganisms. You may need to
purchase a water purifying system to do
that.
In order for the ice maker to operate
properly, a water line is required.

-the maximum inlet water pressure is
689KPa;

-the minimum inlet water pressure is
207KPa.

Warning:

The water connection must be made by a
qualified plumber. Operation outside the
water pressure range may cause
malfunction, severe and damaging water
leaks.
Under normal conditions, a 200cc (5.75
oz.) cup can be filled in about 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below30 psi),you
can install a booster pump to compensate
for the low pressure.

To fit the water filter, follow the installing
steps below.

1. Take out the water filter and water lines
from the fridge room.

2. Determine the location to mount the
external filter. (Note: The water filter
should be mount on the wall where it is
convenient to be replaced, and do not

3. Determine the distance between the

9

filter and the tap, and the distance from
the filter to the fridge. Prepare lines as
required lengths. (Cut the proper lengths
of water lines which you determine to
connect with the filter inlet or outlet.)

4. Mount the filter holder onto the wall by
using a screwdriver and attach the water
filter.

Note：

The water lines must be fully inserted into
the filter to prevent water leaking.
The line length should be less than 5m. If
the water line is too long (>5m), the ice
and cold water content may be affected
due to insufficient water pressure.
Cut the water line as required length and
avoid over bending the water lines.
It is recommended to have a suitably
qualified person to install the product.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to the refrigerator flows
through the filter which is an alkaline water
filter. In the filtering process, the pressure
of the water that has flowed out of the filter
is increased, and the water becomes
saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When
this water flows out into the air, the
pressure plummets and the oxygen and
nitrogen get supersaturated, which results
in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily
look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen
bubbles. After a few seconds, the water
will look clear.

3. Using the freezer compartment
