ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
oce of your Electricity Company and ask how
long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected within
an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of
door openings while the power is off.
If the power failure lasts more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• The appliance might not operate consistently
(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures
can become too warm in the frozen food
compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is
designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under
refrigeration can have a bad eect on
preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there
is no need to manually defrost your appliance,
This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies
with ISO requirements. But, If you want to
prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the
frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap
the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.
Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight
and never put it near a direct source of heat (a
radiator, for example).
- Not to block any vents and grilles is
recommended for energy efficiency.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it
in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for
too long when putting food in or taking food
out. The shorter the time the door is open, the
less ice will form in the freezer.
- It is recommended to install the refrigerator with
clearance to the back and sides.
This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR GAP
If the gap between the left and right fridge
compartment doors is not even.
• You can adjust the gap by
turning the bolt at the top

compartment door.
• Do not turn the bolt too far.
You can break it.
INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator.
To help promote better health, the water filter
removes unwanted particles from your water.
However, it does not sterilize or destroy
microorganisms.
You may need to purchase a water purifying
system to do that.
The water line also connects to the ice maker.
For the ice maker to operate properly, water
pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make
sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly filled.
To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the
water runs from the water outlet.
1. With the doors closed, remove the 3 screws
holding the top cover using a Phillips
screwdriver, and then lift it o together with the
connected cables.
2. Turn the bolt with a 4mm
hexagonal L-wrench to
adjust the gap.
3. Turn the bolt clockwise to ( ) widen the
gap. Turn the bolt counterclockwise ( ) to
narrow the gap.
• Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper tubing
and a 6mm (¼”) compression nut.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the
appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut o the main water
supply.
2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and
install the pipe clamp and shut o valve.

necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
To flush, press a large glass or cup against the
water dispenser lever.
Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after
it is filled, and then repeat.
5. 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.
• You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup.
Under normal conditions, the water dispenser
can fill a 170cc cup in about 10 seconds.

Removing any residual matter inside the
water supply line after installing the water
filter.
1. Turn ON the main water supply and supply
water from water supply line.
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water
runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes).
This will clean the water supply system and
remove air from the lines.
3. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
• Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly,
otherwise water may drip from the
dispenser.
If water drips, it means that there is still
air in the line.
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 241
and 827kPa.
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 276 to 414kPa.
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system
is less than 276 to 414kPa:
• 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.

ICE MAKER DO’S AND DON’TS
Do not put your fingers, hands or any other
unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker
bucket.
- You can hurt yourself or damage the refrigerator.
Never put your finger or any other objects in the
dispenser opening.
- You can injure yourself.
Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water
while it is in the refrigerator.
Remove it to clean it.
CAUTION
• When you insert the Ice maker tray, be sure that
the tray is well centered at the entrance.
Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.
Water clouding phenomenon
• All water provided to the refrigerator flows
through a core alkaline water filter.
In the filtering process, the pressure
of the water that has flowed out of the
filter has increased, and the water has
become 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.
