seconds continuously,the display will be converted to the option setting mode.

4-7) OPTION SETTING

Press for 12

seconds

1) For example, if you want to shift the Refrigerator standard temp by (26.6°F/-3 °C), proceed the following.

It is to shift the standard temperature.The F-Room standard temp is (-4°F/-20 °C)(MID).When it is shifted (26.6°F/-3 °C) by using the option,the standard temp will be set to (-9.4°F/-23 °C) when the temp option is changed, it will be controlled to (-9.4°F/-23 °C) internally even though it is set to MID on the display panel..So, shifting the standard temperature by (26.6°F/-3 °C) means that it is controlled by (26.6 °F/-3 °C) increase than the temp set on the display panel. 1-1) As shown in the draft,press the Freezer button and the FILTER RESET BUTTON OR LIGHTING

BUTTON for 12 seconds simultaneously.

- Except the Freezer &the Fridge LEDs, all LEDs will be turned off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & INSTALLATION

3-1) DISPLAY DESIGN

1) Freezer Temp Setting 1-1) With the initial power on, Freezer will be set at MID (-4°F/-20°C) and Refrigerator will be set at MID

(37°F/3°C) automatically. At this time, the number of LEDs (1 ~ 5) lighting up on the display panel means intensity (MIN ~ MAX) of room control temperature (6.8 ~ -13°F/-14 ~ -25 °C) and as the intensity gets increased, the number of LEDs increases and the set temperature become lowered.

1-2) Freezer Temp can be set from (6.8°F/-14°C)(MIN) to (-13°F/-25°C)(MAX) with Freezer temp setting button.

2) Refrigerator Temp Setting 2-1) Refrigerator Temp can be set from (44.6°F/7°C)(MIN) to (33.8°F/1°C)(MAX) with Refrigerator temp setting

button.

2-2) Refrigerator set temp varies slightly from actual temperature according to the user’s way of storing food

and peripheral temp. (If food is stored too close to Refrigerator Temp Sensor, it can block air circulation resulting in weak or over cooling. So, be careful not to block it.)

Note) When power is out due to an instant power failure or the problems in an electric circuit and restored

again, the ref checks Refrigerator Temp. At this time, When Freezer Temp is lower than (41°F/5°C) , Refrigerator considers it as an instant power failure and restores the previous temp and functions stored in EEPROM for use.

need and it needs to be well informed and reminded in advance because it could make Non----sense Calls by customers.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & INSTALLATION

1) CUBE/CRUSHED/ICE OFF SELECTION 1-1) Upon the initial Power On, when F-Room Temp is above (41°F/5°C), CUBE LED on the Display lights up

and the other LEDs remains OFF. But, when F-Room Temp is lower than (41°F/5°C), it restores the ice selection before the POWER OFF and displays it on the panel.

1-2) It is selected in the order of CUBE → CRUSHED → ICE OFF repeatedly by ICE TYPE key. 1-3) When operating Ice Dispenser Lever with CUBE or ICE OFF selected, it sends out ice cubes. 1-4) When pressing Ice Dispenser Lever with CRUSHED selected, it sends out crushed ice. 1-5) When ICE OFF is selected, ICE-MAKER does not make ice.

Note) When taking out ice with ICE OFF selected, only ice lefted in the storing box is extracted.

2) FILTER RESET 2-1) When FILTER INDICATOR LED on the front Panel becomes orange or red, Filter should be changed.

2-2) - When FILTER RESET button is pressed for a certain period (3sec) after changing Filter, FILTER

INDICATOR LED becomes green with “ Ding Dong ” sound. (When FILTER RESET is pressed, water count is reset to 0)

- When the filter is replaced,reset the indicator by pressing the FILTER RESET button for 3 second at the same time.

2-3) After Filter reset, when 270 Gallon water is used (including water used in making ice), FILTER

INDICATOR LED becomes orange , and when 300 Gallon water is used, FILTER INDICATOR LED becomes red.

2-4) When the water filter is not needed due to the use of purified water or other reasons, the Filter Indicator

can be turned off. When pressing the Filter Reset Button for 5 seconds continuously, the Filter Indicator will be off with a "Ding Dong" sound. (At this time, when 3 sec has passed, the filter will be reset with a "Ding Dong" sound and when 5 sec has passed, the Filter Indicator will be off.)

2-5) When the Freezer temperature is higher than 41 °F upon the initial power on, the Filter Indicator will be

turned on. And, when it is lower than 41 °F, it will display the previous setting (before the power off).

3-5) ICE DISPENSER & WATER DISPENSER

● Among the functions depending on Peripheral Temp, Comp Cooling Fan (Comp Room Fan) is controlled

according to Peripheral Temp as follows. Therefore, make sure to check the contents to refer to during A/S because Cooling Fan can operate or not according to conditions during Comp operation.

1) Initialization (Restoration to the initial horizontal status) When the Ice Maker is initialized by Power On or the Ice Error Mode, the Ice Tray gets leveled again by

rotating the Eject Motor regardless of the horizontal state of the Ice Tray.

1-1) Conditions for Initialization

- After pending time (5sec.) for activation of each MICOM port with the initial Power On or the Power On after Power Failure.

- When an error occurs due to full icing or the restraint of the Eject Motor, it starts initialization in 24 hours

upon full icing and in an hour upon the counter-rotation error of the Eject Motor.

1-2) Movement for Initialization

- Satisfy the initial horizontal status by counter-rotating the Eject Motor.

- When the voltage of the Motor Voltage Sensor becomes above 0.55V during counter-rotation of the

Eject Motor, the counter-rotation stops.

- When it is not detected that the Motor Voltage Sensor becomes more than 0.55V for a minute after

the counter-rotation, it is considered as an error and initialization gets started again in an hour.

- It stands by for the initial Ejection for a cycle (2 hours) after completion of initializing movement by Power

On and it stands by for normal Ejection after completion of initializing movement by error.

- After the Ejection Stand-by time has passed, check the temp of the Ice Tray and if the temp reaches

to the Ejection temp, it carries out the Ejection.

2) Water Supply It is the movement to supply water on the ICE-TRAY by using the SOLENOID VALVE after the completion of the ejection (Ejection after the completion of the normal ice making or that by the test movement) Considering cases with low hydraulic pressure, when it is recognized as No Water Supply, the Water Supply will be attempted for 4 times.

2-1) Specifications for water supply

- After the completion of the normal ejection and the opening of the water supply valve, water is supplied for the previously set OPTION time (Set by the DIODE in PCB and normally for 5 sec) and the water supply valve gets off.

- Water is supplied regardless of the F/R-DOOR OPEN

- While supplying water, the ICE TEST S/W doesn’t work.

- In one min. and 30 sec. after the completion of water supply, Water Supply/ No Water Supply will be judged.

- Under the condition of additional water supply due to No Water Supply, the additional water supplying time is 1.5 sec, 1 sec, and 2 sec.

- When judging water supply after the trial of water supply within the number of previous water supply, complete water supply. In this case, the Ejection Stand-By Time is 58(65) min.

- To prevent the additional water supply by the judgment of No Water Supply due to the ice cube on the tray cube which the ice maker sensor of the ICE-TRAY is, quit the water supplying movement for one time when it is judged as No Water Supply after trying to supply water as many as the number of the previous water supplying. After POWER ON, the number of the previous water supplying will be considered as once for the first water supplying and when No Water Supply is judged after the initial water supplying, quit the water supply movement. If the number of the previous water supply is three times, supply water for 3 times, and when judged as No Water Supply, quit the water supplying movement. In this case, the Ejection Stand-By Time is 70~110 min.

- When judged as No Water Supply in the previous water supply, supply water for 5 sec, 1.5sec, 1sec,and 2 sec for 4 times.

- According to conditions, the Ejection Stand-by Time is as follows.

2-2) Judgment of Water Supply by the ICE-TRAY Temp sensor

- In one and a half min after the completion of the water supply, judge either the Water Supply or the No Water Supply by comparing the temp change of the ice maker sensor on the ICE TRAY.

- In the case that the temp of the ICE-TRAY ice maker sensor in one and a half min. after the completion of the water supply is 2 degrees (5 COUNT) higher than that during the water supply movement, it is judged as the Water Supply and when the temp increases or decreases less than 2 degrees, it is considered as the No Water Supply.

2-3) Specifications of water supply movement upon pressing the Ice Test S/W

- Supply water for once regardless of the previous water supply.

- The Ejection Stand-by Time after the completion of water supply is the same as that after the completion of the previous water supply movement regardless of the Water Supply/ No Water Supply recognition.

- Do not change the number of the previous Water Supply. That is, if the number of Water Supply before pressing the ICE TEST S/W is 3 times, that of the previous Water supply after the completion of the Water Supply by pressing the ICE TEST S/W is also 3 times.

3) Ice Making It is until the water in the ICE-TRAY after the completion of Water Supply gets frozen completely and the ice

making movement is completed by the temp of the ice making temp pickup part using the ice maker sensor (THERMISTOR).

3-1) After water is supplied to the ICE-TRAY, check the temp pickup part of the ice maker sensor after the

Ejection Stand-By Time for 58(58~110) min. (For the No Water Supply, 90 min) and judge whether the temp of the ice maker sensor is below (1.4°F/-17°C).

3-2) If the ice maker sensor maintains the temp below (1.4°F/-17°C) for 5 min. It is judged that ice making is

completed. However, do not check the ice maker sensor within the Ejection Stand-By Time from the point of Water Supply. (Protection function when the sensor is faulty or the cold air leaks.)

3-3) Stand-by for 1 CYCLE: After the completion of the initialization by POWER ON, it stands by for 1 CYCLE

(2hr.) and operates the Ejection although the temp condition of the ice maker sensor is satisfied.

3-4) As long as the temp of the temp sensing part maintains below (1.4°F/-17°C) for more than 5 min, the

Ejection will be carried out. If the temp fluctuates below (1.4°F/-17°C) above (1.4°F/-17°C), the Ejection will be carried out after 5 min. at the temp below (1.4°F/-17°C) while counting the Stand-by Time entering the temp below (1.4°F/-17°C).

4) Ice Ejection It is the movement to separate the ice cubes from the ICE-TRAY after the completion of ice making, which is conducted by the following steps. Check the changes in status and time for the horizontal S/W (if it is used) and the ice level check S/W in parallel and then operate Ejection. At this point, the regular rotational direction of the motors is clockwise (CW) and the reverse rotational direction of that is counter clockwise (CCW). The Ice Ejection is carried out twice, which is to separate all the ice cubes from the ICE-TRAY.

4-1) Detailed movements by step during the Ejection.

- 1

step: Ejection temp checking step Check whether the temp of the temp sensing part is below (1.4°F/-17°C) and whether the Ejection StandBy Time after Water Supply has passed. At this point, when the F-Defrost goes into operation during the Ejection Standby, the Ejection Standby Time will be reset. Then, check that 58~110 min. has passed by recounting from the beginning after the completion of the Defrost. If the temp of temp sensing part of ice making become below (1.4°F/-17°C) and maintain it for 5 min, carry on the next step.

- 2

step: Filled up ice container checking step To check the ice level of the ice container, CHECK the ON/OFF (Low/High) of the ice level S/W If the ice level S/W is ON (Low), it means that the ice container is full and the Ejection stands by. And when the ice level S/W is turned OFF and 40 min. has passed, the Ejection will be carried out.

- 3

step: ICE TRAY overturning step (clockwise) It is the movement to turn over the TRAY to separate the ice cubes from the TRAY by rotating the Ejection motor clockwise for a certain time period. At this point, raise the guide ice to prevent the ice cubes from contacting the guide ice. Carry out the clockwise rotation for a minute from the start of the clockwise rotation or until the horizontal S/W is ON (Low) after 5 sec from the beginning of the third step when using horizontal S/W. If the door of the F-Room is open, stop the clockwise rotation and start the rotation after the door is closed. During the temporary pause, the clockwise rotation will not be counted.

- 4

step: Ice separating step (Standby for 2 sec. at the maximum twist point ) It is the movement to twist the tray again in the reversed state to separate the ice cubes from the tray completely and the tray receives torsion because the ICE-TRAY is stopped by the STOPPER. The ice cubes are separated by this strength and the tray stands by for 2 sec. at the maximum twist point for complete separation.

- 5

step: Reverting to horizontal level step (counter clockwise) Rotate the Ejection motor in reverse to revert the ICE-TRAY to the horizontal level. When using the horizontal S/W, reverse rotation begins. When the horizontal S/W is ON (Low) after 5 sec from the beginning of the reverse rotation or the voltage of the voltage sensing part of the motor is above 0.55V, the rotation will be stopped. At this point, the raised guide ice becomes lowered again and touches on the highest point of the stored ice for checking the ice level.

- 6

step: Motor initializing step (clockwise) After a sec. upon the completion of the 5

step, the Ejection motor rotates clockwise for 2ms to release the

stress of the gear as well as to protect it.

4-2) Errors and handling methods during the ejection

- If the conditions of the completion for the reverse rotation are not satisfied in a min. after applying the

counter rotation during the execution of the 5 steps of the detailed ejection movement, it is considered as an ERROR and stops the motor.

- If it is judged as an abnormal state, facilitate the initialization in an hour.

If the ejection error occurs 3 times consecutively, it is sensed as ERROR (ICE ERROR) and when selecting the self diagnosis, it turns on the corresponding LED.

- If the ejection operates normally, the ERROR value of the existing ice making function will be deleted.

4-3) Ejection Movement TIMING CHART

5) Ice Test It is necessary for the forced operation for the purpose of the operation test, A/S, and cleaning, and when

pressing the ICE TEST S/W for a certain time period (more than 1.5 sec.), it goes into operation.

5-1) The TEST button will not be selected during the Water Supply or the Ejection. Press it again with the

Water Supply or the Ejection completed to run the Test function. Standby for maximum 5 min. when Water Supply operates.

5-2) When the TEST button is selected, the ejection will be carried out by running the eject motor regardless of

the elapsed time (58~110 min.) after the Water Supply and the temp of the ice making. And after this, the tray will be reverted to the horizontal level and the ICE TRAY will be supplied with water.

5-3) It operates normally regardless of the Freezer/Refrigerator DOOR OPEN (No temporary pause functions

by the DOOR OPEN) 5-4) Other functions are the same as the movements of the Ejection and the Water Supply. 5-5) When ERROR occurs more than 3 times with the normal function and the ice making stops, the ICE TEST

shall operate. At this point, if the normal Ejection and Water Supply are operated by the TEST S/W, there

would be “Ding Dong” sound for once before the Water Supply and the third ERROR MODE will be

cancelled executing the normal ice making.

1) Freezer Defrost shall be determined by COMP ON total hour.

2) On the initial POWER ON, Defrost in Freezer will be operated after COMP ON total hour of 4 hr.

3) Defrost cycle changes automatically depending on the conditians MIN 6 hr, to MAX“11” hr

4) The judgment of defrost cycle shall be determined by peripheral temp, No. of DOOR OPEN in

Freezer/Refrigerator, and the time for DOOR OPEN in Freezer/Refrigerator.

5) Point of Defrost HEATER OFF is (59 °F/15 °C) by the temp value of Freezer Defrost SENSOR.

● If F Defrost HEATER doesn’t reach to the point of Defrost OFF in 70 min., turn off forcibly and complete

Freezer-Defrost. ( Prevention of inferior HEATER OPEN or inferior Refrigerator Defrost Sensor )
