child could suffocate.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• Inthe event of a power failure, call the local
office of your Electricity Company and ask how
long it is going to last.
Most power failures that are corrected in an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize
the number of door openings while the power
is off.
Should the power failure last more than 24
hours, remove and discard 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 effect 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 Ifyou want to prevent an undue rise inthe
temperature of 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
frost build-up you'll have 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.

1. Pull out the Convertible door ( 1 ) to expose
the lower hinge ( 2 ).
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 the water 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 (138 - 862 kPa) is
required.
Ifthe 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 filled. To do this, press the water
dispenser lever until the water runs from the water
outlet.
(_ ater 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 1A"compression nut.
2. Insert a philips screwdriver (+)( 3 ) into the
shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning a philips
screwdriver (+) ( 3 ) clockwise ( ._o_ ) or
counterclockwise (_).
When you turn a philips screwdriver (+)

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).
Ifa 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.)
Ifthe 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.
• Ifyour 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.
Ifyou have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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.
• 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.

To select water press the water button on the
display, and then press the dispenser lever.
o
To select Ice, press the ICE type button of
your choice on the display, and then press the
dispenser lever.
Ifyou 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.
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.
z_ 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.
Engl sh - 23
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.
Ifyou 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.
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...
Ifyou are going on a long vacation or business
trip and won't use the water or ice dispensers for
a long time:
Close the water valve. Otherwise, water
leakage may occur.
Remove all food and ice in the ice bucket.
Unplug the refrigerator.
Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave
the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold
may develop.
USING THE ICE OFF
FUNCTION

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
It may result in personal injury or material
damage.
• Never put your finger or any other objects in
the dispenser opening.
It may cause injury.
• 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
z:_ 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 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.
