CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi is required.
In this range a 170 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.
2) The water filter removes par ticles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dis
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.
NOTE
A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manufacturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

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.
INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing filter.
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
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.
•
Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine self (RS2577).

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.
• 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?
• A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the refrig-
erator, but this is nor mal. 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.
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
open?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm?
(Set the temperature lower)
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the
water supply line before making ice?
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator
• The bubbling comes from the refrigerant circulating in
the refrigerator and is normal.
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator
• Wrap strong smelling food so that it is air tight.
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?
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 tem-
perature is too low? Select a warmer setting on the
display panel.
