Move Near Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The refrigerator must be located on a solid. level surface that is strong enough to support the refrigerator fully loaded.

+ Before moving. retract the leveling legs to avoid scraping the floor.

+ The refrigerator has wheels. which should be used for only forward and backward movement.

NOTE: Trying to move the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor.

Connect the Water Supply

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 ice maker to operate properly. a water pressure of 30~125psi is required Under normal conditions. a 200cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be filled in about 10 seconds.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (blow 30 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. Parts for water line installation

The tools you will need:

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. 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:

+ 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(Sm) 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 installation 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 coming 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.

+Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean.

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.

5. Changing the water filter

Please refer to the owner’s manual for proper maintenance and operation. If this device is not maintained and operated as specified in the owner’s manual, there is a risk of exposure to contaminants.

To drink the freshest and cleanest water from your refrigerator, change the filter on time. To change the water filter, follow these steps:

1. Shut off the water supply. Then pull the handle under the cover outwards to open the cover

2. Pull the water filter down wards and turn it about 90° counter-clockwise to take it out. When the filter is disassembled, pay attention to keep the filter head upward tilted to avoid water leaking from the front filter part And the dropped water in the cover should be cleaned immediately.

3. Insert the new water filter into the hole, and at the same time turn it about 90° clockwise until it stops.

4. Push the water filter up, and move the cover up to horizontal and push it until it locks.

5. Turn the water supply back on.

NOTE: After turning on the water supply, you should check the leaks. If leaks occur, repeat the above operation steps 1-5. If leaks persisit,please stop using it and call your supporting dealers.

6. Flush filter for 5 minutes before use.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter

1. Turn on the main water supply and supply water from water supply line.

2. Let the water flow through the dispenser until it becomes clear (after approx.6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove the air from the lines.

3. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

4. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

Note:

+ Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly. otherwise water may drip from the dispenser. This means that there is still air in the line.

Reverse osmosis water supply is important:

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 30 and 125 psi (207 and 862 kpa). If a reverse osmosis water 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.

6. Using your fridge compartment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storage of vegetables and fruit. Food inside should be packed to store in order to avoid losing moisture or flavor permeating into other foods.

Caution
