Twin Cooling System
•
The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this
independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled
individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor
from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate of air flow circulation.
Multi-Flow System
•
Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This
provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your
food fresh longer.
Xtra Space
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space
for pizza etc.
Set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The
freezer should get slightly chilled and the
motor should run smoothly.
Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the
refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE (Optional)
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 1.4 ~ 10 kgf/cm
In this range a 100 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 1.4kgf/cm2), you should install
a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is preperly filled initially. Push the water dis
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line
1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water
supply line.
2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around
the water filter.
•
A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.

NOTE
Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine shelf.
ICE
WATER
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) Lift up (①) and pull out (➁) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.
ICE MAKER
2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is
filled with water from the water supply tap.
Check the amount of water (see the illustration below).
If the water level is too low,
the ice cubes will be small.
This is not a problem with the ice maker
but of the water pressure in
the pipe, and occurs frequently.
When this problem occurs, contact
the dealer service center to check the
amount of water supplied.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not
chill sufficiently
• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to
the correct temperature? Try seting it to a lower temperature.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a
heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall?
The food in the refrigerator is frozen
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to
the correct temperature? Try seting it to a warmer
temperature.
Ice is not dispensed
• Did you stop the ice making function?
• Is there any ice in the ice storage unit?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve
• Is the freezer temperature too warm?
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator
• The bubbling comes from the refrigerant circulating in
the refrigerator and is normal.
• Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you store the food with a high water content in
the coldest part of the refrigerator.
You can hear unusual noise or sounds
• Check that the floor is levelled and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too near to the wall?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigera-
tor?
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator
• Wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight.
Throw away any rotten food.
Frost forms on the wall of the freezer
• Is the air vent blocked?
• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for
efficient air circulation.
• Is the door closed properly?
• A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the
refrigerator, but this is normal. This occurs because
various accessories are contracted or expanded.
The front corners and sides of the cabinet are hot;
condensation occurs.
• Anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for a long time.
No water is supplied
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve
open?
• Is the water supply line crushed?
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low? Select a warmer setting on the
