Connecting the Water Line
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure
between 138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²)
is required to operate the water dispenser. If the
refrigerator is installed in an area with low water
pressure (below 138 kPa), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 138 kPa to 827 kPa
(1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²)
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
work on connecting the water line. Failure to
do so may cause electric shock.
• Only connect the water line to a cold water
supply. Failure to do so may cause the water
filter to malfunction. Water hammer (water
banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can
cause damage to appliance parts and can
lead to water leakage or flooding.
• Connecting the water line must only be
installed by a qualified plumber and in
accordance with local legislation and
regulations governing water quality.
NOTE
• This water line installation is not covered by
the appliance warranty.

OPERATION
EN
Notes for Operation
• Users should keep in mind that frost can form.
If the door is not closed completely, if the
humidity is high during the summer, or if the
freezer door is opened frequently.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food
stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the
door to close completely.
• Opening the door lets warm air enter the
appliance, and may cause the internal
temperature to rise.
• If you are leaving the appliance turned off for
an extended period of time, remove all food
and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior,
and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent
mold from growing in the appliance.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• Ensure there is sufficient space between
stored foods. This allows cold air to be
circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order
to prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment,
set the freezer temperature lower than the
temperature indicated on the food.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor
of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of
at least 3 cm from the sensor.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting
has a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the
impact this may have on the food storage due
to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored
food in several layers.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions.
20
EN
Storing Foods Effectively
• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
• Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
• Do not store food for a long period of time
(more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a
low temperature.
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which
has been completely thawed again will lower
its taste and nutrition.
• Do not wrap and store vegetables with
newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or
other foreign substances may smear and
contaminate food.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored correctly.
• If there are chill compartments in the
appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits
with higher moisture content in the chill
compartments as they may freeze due to the
lower temperature.
Max Freezing Capacity
• The Express Freeze function will set the
freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.
• This generally takes up to 24 hours and
automatically switches off.
• If the maximum freezing capacity is to be
used, Express Freeze must be switched on for
seven hours before fresh produce is placed in
the freezer compartment.
Maximum Storage
• To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.
• If large quantities of food are to be stored, all
the freezer drawers shall be taken out of the
appliance except the bottom one and the food
shall be stacked directly on the freezer
shelves in the freezer compartment.
NOTE
• To remove the drawers, first pick the food out
of drawers. Then use the handle of drawers,
pull out the drawers carefully. It may cause
injury.
• The shape of each drawer may be different,
insert in the right position.

Notes for Cleaning
• When removing a shelf or drawer from inside
the appliance, remove all stored foods from
the shelf or drawer to prevent injury or
damage to the appliance.
− Otherwise, injury may occur due to the
weight of stored foods.
• If cleaning the outside air vents of the
appliance by means of vacuuming, then the
power cord should be unplugged from the
outlet to avoid any static discharge that can
damage the electronics or cause an electric
shock.
• Detach the shelves and drawers and clean
them with water, and then dry them
sufficiently, before replacing them.
• Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet
soft towel.
• Door basket spills and stains should be
cleaned as they can compromise storage
ability of the basket and could even be
damaged.
• After cleaning, check if the power cable is
damaged.
• Keep the air vents on the exterior of the
appliance clean.
− Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance
damage.
• Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps
provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least
twice a year using appliance wax (or auto
paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not
use cleaning agents containing flammable
substances.
− This may cause discoloration or damage to
the appliance.
− Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
• For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Never clean the shelves or containers in the
dishwasher.
− The parts may become deformed due to the
heat.
