Installing the water lines: A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new appliance. 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. In order for the water dispenser/ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 207-862 kPa is required.

Warning:

• The water connection must be made by a qualified plumber. Operation outside the water pressure range may cause malfunction, severe and damaging water leaks.
• Under normal conditions, a 200ml (5.75 oz.) cup can be fill in about 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (blow 207kPa),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.

Parts for water line installation

Connecting to the water supply line

• The connector and the check valve are provided as one part. You should use the new connector incidentally but not the old one you have.
• Caution! The water line must be connected to the cold water pipe.
• First, turn off the main water supply line. Screw the adaptor onto a suitable 3/4” BSP connector water outlet and use the spanner to tighten it. Fully insert the water line into the check valve. Then insert the clip in the install pack as the figure shown below.

• To prevent the clips loose, use the valve seat to hold it. Then use the screw to hold the valve seat with Philips (+) screwdriver.

Note:

• Use only the new tubings supplied with the refrigerator. Old tubings should not be used.
• After connected to the water supply line, please open the water valve to flush the filter for 5 minutes before use.
• If the main supply line is too far away from the refrigerator to be connected to the filter inlet line, the water line（5m） provided may be helpful. The outlet line of the water filter should be connected with the inlet line of the refrigerator by a Two-Way Connector. The water line must be fully inserted into the center of the connector to prevent water leaking. Insert the 2 clips in the install pack as shown in the diagram, and then confirm that each clip holds the line firmly.

• The initial dark discoloration of water is normal.
• The water lines must be connected with the potable water only.
• The water lines should not be pressed by heavy things and should not bend too much.
• It is normal that there will be sound of exhaust comes out from the appliance when you connect the water line to the appliance and press the level of the dispenser for the first time.

Warning!

• After turning on the water valve, make sure that there is no leakage at all connection points of the water lines. If there is a leakage, turn off the valve immediately and tighten the water connector or make the lines fully inserted into the connector.
• The water line must be connected to the cold water pipe. If it is connected to the hot water pipe, it may cause the purifier to malfunction.
• Avoid contamination of pipes during installation.

2. Remove all food.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
4. Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open .Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.

Water clouding phenomenon

• All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Cleaning

• After using for a period, water accumulated in receiving tank might overflow, thus you should clean it with dry towel regularly to avoid water spilling out onto the floor.

• Note: In case of stained by dust or other pollutant, dispensing water with unpleasant smell, etc., water dispenser parts should be cleaned thoroughly.

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc)
  Don‘t set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don’t store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.

• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer
