• After checking the height difference, select one Snap Ring with a suitable thickness. Insert one Snap Ring only, Inserting two or more Snap Rings may cause the Snap Rings to slip out or make a rubbing noise.
• Lift up the lower door and insert the Snap Ring into the space between the Door and the Hinge.
• To avoid injury, insert or remove Snap
CAUTION
Rings carefully.
• Keep the Snap Rings out of the reach of children and make sure that children do not play with them or put them into their mouths.
• 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 2.5 mm Snap Rings come with the Refrigerator.
• If the Refrigerator is level before you load it with food, the Refrigerator may become unbalanced due to the weight of the food. If this occurs, adjust the level again using the same procedure.
• If you raise the door too far, it can rub against the Top Cover.

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 right of the cold storage compartment door.
• Do not turn the bolt too far. You can break it.
1. With the doors closed, remove the 3 screws holding the top cover using a Phillips screwdriver, and then lift it off together with the connected cables.
• 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 6mm (¼”) compression nut.
• The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

3. Turn the bolt clockwise to ( ) widen the gap. Turn the bolt counter clockwise ( ) to narrow the gap.
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 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 filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

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.
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 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 276 to 414 kPa. If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 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 ice off Function
When you select the Ice Off 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 difficult 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 firmly straight back.
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:
- Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
- Remove all food.
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.
• If the ice bucket is not pushed firmly into place, ice in the bucket can melt.
If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.
• The inside of the ice bucket is very cold
CAUTION
when the refrigerator is operating. Do not reach deep inside the ice bucket.
• 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.
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.
• When you insert the Ice maker tray, be
CAUTION
Water clouding phenomenon
sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray may be stuck.
• 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.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.
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.
The 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.
The water dispenser is not functioning.
The auto close system does not work with the freezer door.
• Check that 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 freezer or fridge to a colder temperature.
• 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 that 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. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in response to temperature changes in 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 installing the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off 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 sufficient space between the stored food for efficient air circulation.
• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off 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 part and the left part of the door.
