Caution

The front of the refrigerator needs to be just a little higher than the back for easy door closing, but if the wheel is raised too much for door balance, i.e. the front of refrigerator is much higher than the back, it can be difficult to open the door.

How to install Water Line (Dispenser models only)

The water pressure should be 2.0~12.5 kgf/cm² (1.96~12.26 Bar) or more to run the automatic icemaker.

* Check your tap water pressure; if a cup of 180cc is full within 10 seconds, the pressure is OK.

When installing the water tubes, ensure they are not close to any hot surfaces.

The water filter only filters water; it does not eliminate any bacteria or microbes.

If the water pressure is not sufficient to run the icemaker, call the local plumber to get an additional water pressure pump.

The filter life depends on the amount of use. We recommend you to replace the filter at least once every 6 months.

* When attaching the filter, place it for easy access (removing & replacing)

After installation of refrigerator and water line system, select [WATER] on your control panel and press it for 2~3 minutes to supply water into the water tank and dispense water.

Change to ice mode and press level to start function working, ice will take a few days to fully form.

Use plumbers thread sealing tape on every connection of pipes/tubes to ensure there is no water leaks.

The water tube should be connected to the cold water line.

Before You Call for Service...

* Please check the following troubleshooting tips before you call for service!

Problem

It never gets cold inside. Freezing & refrigerating is not very good.

Checkup Point

① Is the refrigerator unplugged? ② Is the temperature set to [Low Mode]? ③ Is the refrigerator under direct sunlight or is a heat appliance placed near it? ④ Is the space between the refrigerator back and the wall too close?

Action

① Plug in the refrigerator. ② Set the temperature mode to Middle or High. ③ Move to a place where there is no direct sunlight, no heat appliances around. ④ Keep sufficient space between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

Problem

Foods in the refrigerator get frozen.

Checkup Point

① Is temperature set to [High]? ② Is the room temperature too low? ③ Is food with moisture stored close to the cold air spout?

Action

① Set the temperature to [Middle] or [Low]. ② Foods can be frozen if ambient temperature is below 5°C. Move to a place where the temperature is over 5°C. ③ Place foods with moisture on the shelves close to the doors.

Problem

Strange sounds from the refrigerator.

Checkup Point

① Is the floor beneath the refrigerator uneven? ② Is the space between the refrigerator back and the wall too close? ③ Does any object touch the refrigerator?

Action

① Move the refrigerator to a level and even floor. ② Keep sufficient space. ③ Remove any object which touches the refrigerator.

Problem

Odour or unpleasant smell from the inside.

Checkup Point

① Is the food stored uncovered or unwrapped? ② Are the shelves and pockets stained with food stuff? ③ Is the food stored too long?

Action

① Be sure to cover and wrap the foods. ② Clean them regularly. Once smell gets soaked into those parts, it is not easy to remove. ③ Do not store foods for too long. A refrigerator is neither a perfect nor a permanent food keeper.

Something strange?

Don't worry. Here is the answer.

	Case Explanation
Heat	Front and side of refrigerator feels warm or hot.		Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath • the surface to prevent moisture forming on it.
Door is sticky	Doors do not open easily.		When you close the door and then open it • again immediately, the door is not easy to open. Warm air rushes into the inside to create the pressure difference. In this case wait for a minute, it will then open easily.
Strange Sound	It sounds like water is flowing from the refrigerator.		When the compressor starts to run or stops, • refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the pipes can make such sound. Defrosted water can also make such sound.• (This refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.)
	Cracking or clicking sounds.		Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to • temperature change --- When the inside gets cold or when the door is open, such sounds can be made.
	Humming or buzzing sounds.		Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can • make such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level, the sound can be louder.)
Frost & Dew	Dew or frost on the wall and/ or food container surface in the freezer and refrigerator compartment.		Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases;High temperature and/or high humidity around • the refrigerator.When doors are open too long.• Foods with much moisture are stored • uncovered or unwrapped.* You can see the same appearance when cold water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming on the surface of it.
	Dew on the cabinet surface.		If it is highly humid around the refrigerator, • moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form dew.
