STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line (applicable models only)
A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water lter 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.
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water
pressure of 206 to 827 kPa is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa),
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 lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs
from the water outlet.
NOTE
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend
using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 6 mm compression
nut.

Special features
Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice Maker Operation
• The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per
cycle - approximately 100~130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on
freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings,
and other use conditions.
• Throw away the rst few batches of ice
to allow the water line to clear.

sweep of the feeler arm. When the bin
lls to the level of the feeler arm, the ice
maker will stop producing ice.
• After the ice maker has been turned on
again, there will be a time delay before
the ice maker resumes operation.
• 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. If you do not want to make
ice, turn the ice maker off. (For detailed
instructions on turning the ice maker on
or off, see the “Turning on or off the ice
maker” section on page 50.)

Troubleshooting
Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?
Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to
normal sounds will be charged to the user.
These sounds are normal.
• When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a
car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.
Clicking!
or Chirping!
Buzzing!
• While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the
set temperature, no fan sound will occur.
SSSRRR!
Whir!
• During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.
HiSS!

Troubleshooting
• As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing
bubbling sounds.
Bubbling!
• As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and
expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or
when electronic parts are working.
Cracking!
• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to ll the ice maker, buzzing sounds
may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing
sounds may occur.

Temperature Instruction
Recommended Temperature
The optimal temperature setting for food storage:
• Fridge: 3 °C
• Freezer: -19 °C
NOTE
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient
temperature. Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
Power Cool
Power Cool speeds up the cooling process at maximum fan speed. The fridge keeps running
at full speed for two and a half hours and then returns to the previous temperature.
Power Freeze
Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps
running at full speed for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature. To freeze
large amounts of food, activate Power Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in
the freezer.
NOTE
When you use this function the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase.
Remember to turn it off when you don’t need it and return the freezer to your original
temperature setting.
How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods.
A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in
shallow containers before being refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should
be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers before refrigerating.
Placement of Foods
Shelves
Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of
packages.
Specialized compartment
(applicable models only)
Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage
environment for fruits and vegetables. Vegetables require
higher humidity conditions while fruits require lower
humidity conditions.
Crispers are equipped with controls devices to control
the humidity level. (*Depending on model and options)
An adjustable temperature meat drawer maximizes the
storage time of meats and cheeses.

Stored on the door
Don’t store perishable foods in the door. Eggs should
be stored in the carton on a shelf. The temperature of
the storage bins in the door uctuate more than the
temperature in the cabinet. Keep the door closed as much
as possible.
Freezer Compartment
You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh
food in the freezer compartment.
NOTE
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food
which is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its avour or drying out, place in
airtight containers.
