MAKING MINOR

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE

DOORS

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

INSTALLING THE WATER

DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water fi 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.

In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi is required.

Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be fi lled in about 10 seconds.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), 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 fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

Water line installation kits are include with unit. You can fi nd it in freezer drawer.

The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water fi lter.

Basic temperature of Freezer and fridge compartments

The basic and recommended temperatures of the

Freezer and Fridge compartments are -19 °C and

3 °C respectively.

If the temperature of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature manually.

Controlling the Freezer temperature

Be sure to fl ush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser.

This means that there is still air in the line.

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 fi ltration 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):

The Freezer temperature can be set between

-23°C and -15 °C to suit your particular needs.

Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 °C with each press. See below.

Centigrade : -19 °C ➞ -20 °C ➞ -21 °C ➞ -22 °C

➞ -23 °C ➞ -15 °C ➞ -16 °C ➞ -17 °C ➞ -18 °C

➞ -19 °C.

Keep in mind that foods like ice cream may melt at -15.5 °C. The temperature display will move sequentially from -23 °C to -15 °C.

Maintaining the Ice Bucket

• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Ice is made in cubes. When you select

“Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes operating _27

2014. 5. 19. 2:06

into crushed ice.

• When you select Cubed Ice after using the

Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.

• The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they were generated normally.

• As the ice maker in the refrigerator room makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes.

• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. See the illustration below.

• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is fi lled with ice or water. Water may overfl ow or ice may jam the bucket.

close the door, causing damage to the ice maker.

Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket

CAUTION may spill out over the drawer when you remove the ice bucket from the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to clear the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer.

If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may

CAUTION melt, and then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working.

Making Ice

• To fi ll the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps:

1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).

Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.

To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.

If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat ice making Steps 2 and 3, left.

However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the fi rst 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.

3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

• To test the ice maker, press the Test button on the ice maker. You will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button.

• The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well.

If you want to remove the ice cubes

CAUTION without using the ice bucket, please turn the ice maker off and remove the ice maker’s front cover from the ice maker.

Note that the ice cubes in the ice maker can spill out over the drawer.

CAUTION

Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store food in the ice bucket, the food can strike the ice maker when you open or

28_ operating

Using the Ice Off Function

When you select the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it diffi cult to remove them. To remove the ice bucket, push the button on the upper right of the bucket (1 in the illustration above), lift up the bottom, and then pull out. To put the bucket back in, push the bucket straight back until you hear a click. If the bucket does not fi t, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, above) and try again.

• Use only the ice maker provided with the

CAUTION refrigerator.

• Have a suitably qualifi ed person install and connect the water supply line to the refrigerator.

• Connect the water supply line to a potable water supply only.

2014. 5. 19. 2:06

Going on vacation...

If you have a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:

Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.

Remove all food.

Unplug the refrigerator.

Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.

Ice Maker Do’s and Don’ts

• Do not put your fi ngers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket

It may result in personal injury or material damage.

• Never put your fi nger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.

It may cause injury.

• Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.

• Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it.

When you insert the Ice maker tray, be

CAUTION sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance.

Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to the refrigerator fl ows through the core fi lter which is an alkaline water fi lter. In the fi ltering process, the pressure of the water that has fl owed out of the fi lter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water fl ows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill suffi ciently.

The food in the fridge is frozen.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

SOLUTION

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.

• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.

• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator?

Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

The cabinetdoor sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installing the water supply line before making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors (for example, fi sh) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

PROBLEM

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

Water dispenser is not functioning.

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

SOLUTION

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow suffi cient space between the stored food for effi cient air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

• Is the Child Lock on?

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?

• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again.

• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door.
