INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20~125 psi(0.138~0.862 Mpa) is
required. In this range, a 6 oz paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is filled. push the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the outlet.
NOTE
A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manu-
facturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Connect the water tube to the refrigerator.
Install the water filter.
• This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts
and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
• To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
• If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the”Ice Type” is set to the ICE
OFF position.
• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insu-
lated or wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.
• All installations must be in a accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Before You Install the water line
1) Slip the compression nut through and plastic
tube.
2) Tighten the compression nut onto 1/4”
comprression fitting(union).
Water line must be connected to drink-
able water only.
NOTE
Do not overtighten the compression
nut.
NOTE
3) Slip the compression ferrule and nut onto the
copper (or plastic) tubing as shown.
Tighten the compression nut onto the com-
pression fitting(union).
4) Turn water on and check for any leakege.

1) As shown, the fixed cap separates from the refrigerator by
rotating it counterclockwise.
Remove the water filter from the box and put a month indicator
sticker on the filter as shown on the next page.
2) The water filter should be replaced every six months, so if the
filter was installed in March (for example), put on the "SEP"
sticker to remind you to change the filter.
Keep the cap(A) in a safe place for recapping,
when you will not use the filter.
NOTE
The water filter in the extra space behind the
vegetable Bin.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing filter.
1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water
supply line.
2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around
the water filter.
3) Remove the protective cap, then position and insert the
filter as shown.
4) Slowly turn the water filter clockwise 90º to align
the indication mark on the cover, locking the filter in posi-
tion.

• If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it to the left. Do
not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve.
Install it in the water line near the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) To remove : Set the "Ice Type" switch to the Ice off position. Lift
up (①) and pull out (➁) the icemaker bucket in the freezer.
To replace : When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it
and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the drawer
back again.
2) Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to
clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will
stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
3) Important Facts About Your Dispenser :
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser
opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally
when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
4) Water Supply to the Icemaker :
The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.
5) Start the Icemaker :
Set the "Ice Type" to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemaker will not begin to oper-
ate until it reachs its operating of 10.4°F( -12°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if
the "Ice Type" is in the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position.

•
If there is no water supply, turn off the icemaker to save energy.
•
In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to make sure enough
water reaches the icemaker.
