Be careful not to scratch or dent the sliding rail by letting it strike the fl oor.
CAUTION
Make sure that you mount the freezer basket in the right position when removing / installing the freezer door. Failing to do so may result in the door not opening or closing properly.
CAUTION
Putting too much food into the freezer drawers can prevent the freezer from closing completely and can cause frost build-up.
RE-ASSEMBLING THE FREEZER DOOR
To reattach the drawer after you have moved the fridge to its fi nal location, assemble the parts in reverse order.
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make fi nal 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, you will not be able 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.)
flat-blade

CAUTION
Both control levers must be touching the fl oor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.
If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever.
It is dicult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water fi lter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize the water or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
3
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20-125 psi (138 ~ 862 kPa) is required. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), 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 fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water
outlet.

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 fi ltration 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 if 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, qualifi ed plumber.

Using the ice Dispenser
Place a glass underneath the ice dispenser and push gently against the dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the ice from bouncing out.
• To select water, press the water button on the display, and then press the dispenser lever.
• To select Ice, press the ICE type button of your choice on the display, and then press the dispenser lever.
• If you have selected cubed ice, when you press the lever, the dispenser may dispense a small amount of crushed ice first.
• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.
• When you press the Test button, you will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button.
• The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well.
• Replace the ice bucket.
Ice Making
To fi ll the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps:
1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).
- Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full
glass of ice.
CAUTION
• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.

If There is a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to be out of order.
To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water. After you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you should press the dispenser lever once with the ‘Water’ or ‘Ice Type’ function ON. The ice maker will make new ice faster after you return the ice bucket to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
• Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualified person. Connect to a potable water supply only.
• To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi is required.
Going on vacation...
If you are going on a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:
If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat Steps 2 and 3 on the previous page. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.
USING THE ICE OFF FUNCTION
When you select the Ice O mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it di cult to remove them. To remove the ice bucket safely and avoid injury, hold the bottom of the bucket with one hand and the side of the bucket with the other. Then, lift up on the ice bucket, and pull it straight out. To put the ice bucket back in, push it fi rmly straight back.
If the ice bucket is not pushed firmly into place, ice in the bucket can melt.
If the bucket does not fi t, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.
- Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
- Remove all food.

Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the core 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.
