CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi (0.138~0.862 Mpa) is
required. In this range, a 100cc 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
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is filled. push the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the outlet.
A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator
NOTE
manufacturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Before You Install the water line
• This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing the water
supply line to the refrigerator.
• To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
• If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the”Ice Type” is set to the ICE OFF
position.
• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated
or wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.
• All installations must be in a accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
For Interior Model
(Case 1)
Connecting to 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

INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) To remove : Set the "Ice Type" switch to the Ice off position.
Lift up (①) and pull out (➁) the icemaker bucket in the freezer.
To replace : When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it
and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the
drawer back again.
2) Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line
to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker
will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
3)
Important Facts About Your Dispenser :
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up
ice can jam the chute or cause the door in
the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking
the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.

ICE MAKER

Mechanism

4) Water Supply to the Icemaker :
The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.
5) Start the Icemaker :
Set the "Ice Type" to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemaker will not begin to
operate until it reachs its operating of 10.4°F( -12°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the "Ice Type" is in the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position.
•
If there is no water supply, turn off the icemaker to save energy.
NOTE
•
In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to make sure
enough water reaches the icemaker.
