Each time you press the Freezer or Fridge button, temperature indicator will change in below order.
Power Freeze
RF221 / RF220 / RL225
This icon will light up when you activate the Power Freeze function. Power Freeze function generates cool air for 50 hours continuously and it makes the inside of the refrigerator cool faster. This function is useful when you make ice more quickly.
When you have enough, just press and hold the Freeze (Hold 3 sec for Power Freeze) button again for 3 seconds to cancel the Power Freeze function.
NOTE: When you use this function the energy consumption of the refrigerator may increase. Remember to turn it o when you do not need it and return the freezer to your original temperature setting.
Energy Saver
This LED will light up when you activate the Energy Saver function. The Energy Saver function is automatically set to “ON” when power is supplied to the Refrigerator. If condensation occurs on the doors, turn the Energy Saver function off.
NOTE: In some places, water drop may be generated on the door part. In this case, it is recommended to turn o the Energy saver function.
Ice Off
This LED will light up when you activate the Ice Off function. In this case, the ice will not be produced.
Alarm On/Off
If the door alarm is set to On, an alarm beeps if any refrigerator door is left open for more than three minutes. The beeping stops when you close the door. The door alarm function is pre-set to On in the factory. You can turn it o by touching and then releasing this button. You can turn it back on in the same fashion. The LED lights up when the function is on.

COOLING OFF KEY

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT :
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 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
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 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 usage.
- If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
USING THE COLD WATER DISPENSER
Using the Water dispenser (RF221**)
Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out.
CAUTION: If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water filter, Flush 11 L through filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure water flows cleanly before drinking.
NOTE:
- Water clouding phenomenon
- All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In this process, the pressure in the water that has flowed out of the filter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become saturated. When this water flows out in the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated so that they turn into gas bubbles. The water could look misty due to these oxygen bubbles. The water may look temporarily cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.
- The water tank’s capacity is approximately 1 L.
- Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills.
