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 fi ltration 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 fi lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the fi lter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refi ll after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water fi lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water fi lter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualifi ed plumber.
Energy Saver
This LED will light up when you activate the Energy Saver function. The Energy Saver function is automatically set to “ON” when power is supplied to the Refrigerator. If condensation occurs on the doors, turn the Energy Saver function off.
In some places, water drop may be generated on the door part. In this case,

PUSH
DISPENSER
Using the Water dispenser (RF221**)
Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out.
If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water fi lter, Flush 11L through fi lter before use (fl ush approximately 6minutes). Make sure water fl ows cleanly before drinking.
If you have a long vacation or business trip,
CAUTION
close the water valve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages.
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.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill suffi ciently.
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.
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.
Water dispenser is not functioning.
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 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 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 50mm 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 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-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, fi sh) 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 suffi cient space between the stored foods for effi cient 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.
