- Not to block any vents and
grilles is recommended for
energy efficiency.
- Allow warm food to cool
down before placing it in the
appliance.
- Put frozen food in the
refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low
temperatures of the frozen
products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of
the appliance open for too
long when putting food in or
taking food out.
The shorter the time the door

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 20-125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) 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

supply.

01 SETTING UP
Connecting the water supply line to
the refrigerator.
There are several items that you need to purchase
to complete this connection.
You may find these items sold as a kit at your local
hardware store.

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the
compression fitting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B) .
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. (170cc)
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.
