Installation 42 English Untitled-4 42 2021-05-25 8:13:34 STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line (applicable models only) A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. 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. 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 filled. 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. 1. Shut off the main water source. 2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff A valve (C) into the cold water line (A). B C A B 3. Connect the water line installation kit (A) to the shutoff valve (B). Installation Untitled-4 43 English 43 2021-05-25 8:13:35 Installation Connect the water supply line to the refrigerator There are several items you must purchase to complete this connection. You may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

Installation 44 English Untitled-4 44 2021-05-25 8:13:35 Installation CAUTION Do not mount the water filter on any part of the refrigerator. This may damage the refrigerator. 1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting. - If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (07) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown. - If you are using plastic tubing (08), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (08) into the compression fitting. CAUTION · If you use plastic tubing (08), do not use it without the molded end (Bulb). · Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned "OFF" and do not attempt to use the water dispenser. 2. Tighten the compression nut (07) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (07). 3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten. 4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat. 5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line. NOTE Only connect the water line to a potable water source. · If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4" of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection. · You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can fill a 170 cc cup in about 10 seconds. Untitled-4 45 English 45 2021-05-25 8:13:35 Installation STEP 7 Initial settings By completing the following steps, the refrigerator should be fully functioning. 1.

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 Specialized compartment (applicable models only) Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of packages. 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.
