microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the ice-maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 138~862 Kpa is required.
Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be fi lled in 10 seconds. If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 138Kpa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
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.
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.

- To turn the door open alarm on and off
- To reset the water fi lter life indicator.
1) Door Alarm Function If the door alarm is set to On, an alarm
beeps if any refrigerator door is left open for more than three minutes. The beeping stops when you close the door. The door alarm function is pre-set to On in the factory.

Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to refrigerators fl ows through the core fi lter which is an alkaline water fi lter. In this process, the pressure in the water that has fl owed out of the fi lter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become saturated. When this water fl ows 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.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after taking out ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes.
When you select “Crushed”, the ice-maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.

Be sure to fl ush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser.
This 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 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 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, qualifi ed plumber.
