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 particles. 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 boost-
er 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.

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.
CHECK THE WATER

The refrigerator does notwork 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 setting it to a lower tem-
perature.
° 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

° 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 normal. This occurs because vari-
ous accessories are contracted or expanded.
The front corners and sides of the cabinet are hot;
condensation occurs.
• Anti-condensators are installed in thefront corners of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
° Condensation can occur when you leavethe door

open?
° Is thefreezer temperature too warm?
(Set the temperature lower)
° Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the
water supply line before making ice?

•The bubblingcomes 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 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?
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.
