ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER
DRAWER
To reattach the drawer after you have moved the
fridge to its final location, assemble the parts in
reverse order.
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.)
MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
BETWEEN DOORS
Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary
for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need
help, review the previous section on leveling the
refrigerator.

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 20~125psi (138~862 kPa) 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.
• 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 ¼” compression nut.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the
appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
WARNING
Connecting to the water supply line
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction. Connect
to potable water supply only.

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.

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.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
Basic temperature of Freezer and
Refrigerator Compartments
The basic temperature and recommended
temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator
Compartments are 0°F and 37°F(or -18°C and
3°C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer
and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or
low, adjust the temperature manually.
CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The Freezer temperature can be set between
5°F(-15°C) and -8°F(-23°C) to suit your
particular needs. Press the Freezer button
repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown
in the temperature display. Keep in mind that
foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F(-15°C).
The temperature display will move sequentially
from -8°F(-23°C) to 5°F(-15°C). When the display
reaches 5°F, it will begin again at -8°F(-23°C).
Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the
display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature until the new temperature is reached.
Controlling the Refrigerator
temperature
The Refrigerator temperature can be set between
44°F(7°C) and 34°F(1°C) to suit your particular
needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the
desired temperature is shown in the temperature
display.
The temperature control process for the Fridge
works just like the Freezer process.
Press the Fridge button to set your desired
temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge
will begin adjusting towards the newly set
temperature. This will be refl ected in the digital
display.
• The temperature of the Freezer or the
Refrigerator may rise from opening
the doors too frequently, or if a large
amount
of warm or hot food is placed in

glass is in line with the
dispenser to prevent the
water from splashing out.
If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed

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.

• 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 sucient space between the stored foods for ecient 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.
