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 ice maker to operate
properly, a water line is required.
The inlet water pressure must be
between 207kPa and 700kPa.
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, a200cc
(5.75 oz.) cup can be filled in
about 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an
area with low water pressure
(below 30psi), you can install a
booster pump to compensate
for the low pressure.
Warning

Using your appliance
All water provided to the refrigerator
flows through 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 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.
Water clouding phenomenon
1. Shut off the water supply. Pull out
the cover about 1.5 cm and open.

Reverse osmosis water supply
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 100psi (207 and 700kPa). 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

combination for the drawers,
crisper and shelves, do not adjust
the combination as this is designed
to be the most energy efficient
configuration.
Energy saving tips
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
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 fresh food refrigeration
For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling
wrap and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Always
follow food storage times and use
by dates suggested by
manufacturers.

Should be wrapped in airtight foil or
plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in
the door racks.
Hints for refrigeration
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.
