Installing the water lines and fi lter
Installing the water fi lter
To fit the water filter, follow the installing steps below.
First, take out the water filter and water lines from the fridge room.
Second, determine the location to mount the external filter. (Note: The water
filter should be mount on the wall where it is convenient to be replaced, and do
not mount on the wall behind the refrigerator.)
Third, determine the distance between the filter and the tap, and the distance
from the filter to the fridge. Prepare lines as required lengths. (Cut the proper
lengths of water lines which you determine to connect with the filter inlet or
outlet.)
Fourth, mount the filter holder onto the wall by using a screwdriver and attach
the water filter.
Note!
• The water lines must be fully inserted into the fi lter to prevent water leaking.
• The line length should be less than 5m. If the water line is too long(>5m), the
ice and cold water content may be a ected due to insu cient water pressure.
• Cut the water line as required length and avoid overbending the water lines.
• It is recommended to have a suitably qualifi ed person to install the product.
Warning!
• The water fi lter must be held upright as shown in the fi gure above. It is critical
to connect the water inlet and outlet hoses on the fi lter correctly.
• Never mount the fi lter onto the refrigerator. Coolant pipes might be pierced.
Installing the water lines of the fi lter
To install the water lines of the filter, follow the instructions of installing steps
below that referring to the figures supplied.
First, take the 2 clips out, then pull out the 2 stopper of the water filter.
15
Second, fully insert the water lines into the Inlet and Outlet of the water fi lter.
Third, insert the 2 clips in the proper position as the figure shown below, and
confirm that each clip holds the water line firmly.
Connecting the fi lter inlet line to the water supplier
The connector and the check valve is provided as one part. You should use the
new connector incidentally but not the old one you have.
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.
16
Note:
• After installed the fi lter, please open the water valve to fl ush the fi lter for 5
minutes before use.
• The initial dark discoloration of water is normal.
• The water lines must be connected with the potable water only.
• To operate properly, the ice maker requires a water pressure of 207~689 Kpa.
Connect fi lter outlet line to the fridge
The outlet line of the water filter should be connected with the inlet line of the
refrigerator by a Two-Way Connector.
The water lines 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.
Open the water valve to flush the lines, and check leakage in the water
connectors. If any leak, please check that if the lines are fully inserted where the
connector leaked. If not, please install them again, and make sure that the lines
are fully inserted.
Note:
• After connect the fi lter outlet line with the refrigerator(as shown in the
diagram below), please dispense several cups of water to fl ush the lines before
use.
• The water lines should not be pressed by heavy things and should not bend
too much.
17

shelves, do not adjust the combination as this designed to be the most energy
e cient confi guration.
Hints for 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.

organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface
of the appliance and may cause fi re.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean
when food stocks are low. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a
more thorough clean. Wipe the inside of the freezer with a weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
36
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets.
