Both control levers must be touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.

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 (138~862 kPa) is required. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting. -If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown. -If you are using plastic tubing ( B ) , insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ) into the compression fitting. Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ).
2. B Tighten the compression nut ( ) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ) .
3. Turn water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection 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.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.) If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.

USING THE COLD WATER DISPENSER

Push the appropriate ice type button to select what you want dispensed.

Using the ice Dispenser

Place a glass underneath the ice dispenser and push gently against the dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the ice from bouncing out.

Please wait 2 seconds before removing the glass under the dispenser to prevent spills. If the Refrigerator door opens, the Dispenser does not work.

When Cubed Ice is selected after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.

Do not pull the lever out. You could damage or break the lever’s spring.

Maintaining the Ice Bucket

• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they are generated normally.
• As the ice maker in the refrigerator room makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes.
• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.
• Normal Use To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps: Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.

Troubleshooting

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently

• Check if the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridgeinner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufficient space between the stored foods for efficient air circulation.
• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?
• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again.
• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door
