ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local

oce of your Electricity Company and ask how

long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected within

an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator

temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of

door openings while the power is off.

If the power failure lasts more than 24 hours,

remove all frozen food.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures

can become too warm in the frozen food

compartment) when sited for an extended

period of time in a location where ambient

air temperatures are constantly below the

temperatures for which the appliance is

designed.

• In case of particular foods, keeping it under

refrigeration can have a bad eect on

preservation due to its properties.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there

is no need to manually defrost your appliance,

This will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting complies

with ISO requirements. But, If you want to

prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the

frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap

the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed

completely.

Saving Energy Tips

- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with

adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight

and never put it near a direct source of heat (a

radiator, for example).

- Not to block any vents and grilles is

recommended for energy efﬁciency.

- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it

in the appliance.

- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low temperatures of the

frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.

- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for

too long when putting food in or taking food

out. The shorter the time the door is open, the

less ice will form in the freezer.

- It is recommended to install the refrigerator with

clearance to the back and sides.

This will help reduce power consumption and

keep your energy bills lower.

If the Refrigerator is on a ﬂoor that is not level, it

can cause a height dierence between the doors.

• Insert a Flat-Head (-) Screwdriver into the slot

in the Leveling Leg Control Lever and adjust the

level by turning the Control Lever clockwise or

counter-clockwise.

When you rotate the Lever clockwise, you raise

the refrigerator.

When you rotate the Lever counter-clockwise,

you lower the refrigerator.

• If the Refrigerator is not level back and

front, put a solid panel (such as a plastic

panel, a plastic ruler, etc.) on the ﬂoor

where the rear legs will rest, and then ﬁx

it in place with plastic tape.

When you push in the Refrigerator, make

sure the rear legs rest on the panel.

• If you have a wooden ﬂoor or similar soft ﬂoor,

take care not to damage the ﬂoor when pushing

the Refrigerator into place.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR

HEIGHT

If any one of the doors is lower

than the other:

• Check if the Refrigerator is

level before adjusting the

door.

• Adjust the door height dierence by inserting a

Snap Ring (1) as shown between the door and

the hinge.

You can install a ring on the right side door of

the fresh food compartment and both sides of

the freezer compartment.

(1)

• After checking the height dierence, select one

Snap Ring with a suitable thickness. Insert that

one Snap Ring only. Inserting two or more Snap

Rings may cause the Snap Rings to slip out or

make a rubbing noise.

• Lift up the lower door and insert the Snap Ring

into the space between the Door and the Hinge.

CAUTION

• To avoid injury, insert or remove Snap Rings

carefully.

• Keep the Snap Rings out of the reach of

children and make sure that children do not

play with them or put them into their mouths.

• 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm Snap

Rings come with the Refrigerator.

• If the Refrigerator is level before you load it with

food, the Refrigerator may become unbalanced

due to the weight of the food.

If this occurs, adjust the level again using the

same procedure.

• If you raise the door too far, it can rub against

the Top Cover.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR GAP

If the gap between the left and right fridge

compartment doors is not even.

• You can adjust the gap by

turning the bolt at the top

right of the cold storage

compartment door.

• Do not turn the bolt too far.

You can break it.

1. With the doors closed, remove the 3 screws

holding the top cover using a Phillips

screwdriver, and then lift it o together with the

connected cables.

2. Turn the bolt with a 4mm

hexagonal L-wrench to

adjust the gap.

3. Turn the bolt clockwise to ( ) widen the

gap. Turn the bolt counterclockwise ( ) to

narrow the gap.

INSTALLING THE WATER

DISPENSER LINE

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 20 ~ 125 psi is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low

water pressure (below 20psi), 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 the

water runs from the water outlet.

• Water line installation kits are available at

extra cost from your dealer.

We recommend using a water line

installation kit that contains copper tubing

and a 6mm (¼”) compression nut.

• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the

appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut o the main water

supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and

install the pipe clamp and shut o valve.

1. Connect the household water line to the

assembled compression ﬁtting.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the

compression nut (B) (not supplied) and ferrule

(not supplied) on the copper tubing (not

supplied) as shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing (A), insert the

molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (A) into

the compression ﬁtting.

CAUTION

• Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of

the plastic tubing (A).

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the

compression ﬁtting.

Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.

If you ﬁnd water drops or leakage in the

connection areas, turn o 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 into the kitchen sink after

it is ﬁlled, 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 freezer makes to ensure all

impurities have been removed from the water

line.

• Only connect the water line to a drinkable

water source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water

line, cut o 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.
