FLOORING

For proper installation, you must place this
refrigerator on a level, hard surface that is the
same height as the rest of the floor. This surface
should be strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator, or approximately 286.6 lbs (130 kg).
To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place it under
the refrigerator where you are working. When
moving the refrigerator, you need to pull and push
it straight forwards or back. Do not wiggle it from
side to side.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can
make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the
refrigerator is level both side to side and back to
front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be
possible to get the doors perfectly even, which
may cause moisture condensation and increased
energy bills. Below is an example of how to level
the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is
lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower

basket.

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into the

notch on the left control lever, and then turn
it counter-clockwise to level the refrigerator.
(You turn the lever clockwise to lower the
refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

repeat.

4. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice

maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that
period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2
buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all
impurities have been removed from the water
line.

• Only connect the water line to a
drinkable water source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water
line, cut o 1/4” of the plastic tubing to make
sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the
features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate

location with reasonable clearance between it
and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in
this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure

the interior light comes on when you open the
doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest

temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run
smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to
the temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will

take a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature. You can store food and drinks
in the refrigerator after the temperature is
suciently cool.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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 35
and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.) If
the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system
is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• 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 usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used
in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.

USING THE COLD WATER
DISPENSER

Using the Water dispenser (RF221**)

Place a glass underneath
the water outlet and push
gently against the water
dispenser lever with your
glass. Make sure the
glass is in line with the
dispenser to prevent the
water from splashing out.

If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed
a new water filter, Flush 11 L through filter before
use (flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure
water flows cleanly before drinking.

If you have a long vacation or business
trip, close the water valve and shut o

CAUTION

the water supply to the Refrigerator. This
will help prevent accidental leakages.

• Water clouding phenomenon

• All water provided to refrigerators flows
through the core filter which is an
alkaline water filter. In this process, the
pressure in the water that has flowed
out of the filter gets increased, and
oxygen and nitrogen become saturated.
When this water flows out in the air, the
pressure plummets and the oxygen and
nitrogen get supersaturated so that they
turn into gas bubbles. The water could
look misty due to these oxygen bubbles.
The water may look temporarily cloudy
due to these oxygen bubbles. After a
few seconds, the water will look clear.

02 OPERATING

• The water tank’s capacity is
approximately 1 L.

• Please wait 1 second before removing

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill suciently.

The food in the
fridge is frozen.

You hear unusual
noise or sounds.

The cabinet-door
sealing area of the
appliance is hot
and condensation
is occurring.

Ice Maker is not
producing ice.

You can hear
water bubbling in
the refrigerator.

There is a bad
smell in the
refrigerator.

Frost forms on
the walls of the
freezer.

Water dispenser
is not functioning.

Auto close
system does not
work with the
freezer door.

• Check if the power plug is properly connected.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge
inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.

• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.

• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving
those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder
areas or bins.

• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs
because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the
temperature of the refrigerator interior.

• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal.
The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section
of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open
for a long time.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sucient space between the stored foods for ecient air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve opened?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low?
Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?

• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times.
After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again.

• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right and the left part of the
door.
