(2) Adjusting bolt
• After adjusting the height, be sure to install the protective rubber inserts as shown in the figure to protect your feet from injury.
INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20-125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is required. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and ¼” compression nut.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water supply.
If you increase the height of the Fridge

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.
You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can fill a 5.75 oz. (170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

START UP POINTERS
For a better experience, read the following pointers before using the refrigerator.
• New refrigerators can sometimes smell of plastic. If a plastic smell comes from your new refrigerator:
- Open the refrigerator doors and air the inside.
- Remove all the adhesive tape strips to eliminate any chemical smells.
• When storing food for the first time:
- Plug in the refrigerator, and then let it cool down for 2 to 3 hours before placing food inside.
- When you place food in the refrigerator before it cools enough, food smells can permeate the inner liners.
• When you first start up a new refrigerator, the sound of the compressor and motor can be loud.
- When starting up a new refrigerator, the compressor and the motor operate at high rpm to cool down the freezer and the fridge compartments quickly, generating a slight noise.
- When the refrigerator gets to the set temperature and reaches a stable state, the noise decreases.
• If the power goes off:
- Keep the doors closed.
- If the power does not come back on for 2~3 hours in the summer, the cool temperature inside will be maintained.
• If an alarm goes off during operation.
- If any one of the doors remains open at a more than 15 degree angle for more than 2 minutes, the refrigerator sounds an alarm indicating that a door is open.
When installing, servicing, or cleaning
CAUTION
behind the refrigerator, be sure to pull the unit straight out. Push it straight back in after finishing.
