Ice maker kit Ice maker Ice bucket Tools required (not provided) Phillips screwdriver Untitled-6 25 2020-11-11 PM 2:43:43Installation English26 Installation To install the ice maker kit WARNING To prevent electrical shock, make sure the refrigerator is turned off before installation.

1. See the gure on the left, and then

locate the cover on the inner upper corner of the main unit.

2. Remove the screws (x2) from the cover,

and then remove the cover by pulling it to the front.

3. Connect the wire connector of the ice

maker to the socket (marked in the gure) on the main unit. Make sure the connector is fully inserted to prevent system failure.

4. Insert the ice maker into the front side

of the 2 grommets as shown. Then, push the ice maker inwards to the end. To prevent deviation of the ice maker, make sure the ice maker ts into position. Untitled-6 26 2020-11-11 PM 2:43:44English 27 Installation

5. Tighten the provided screws (x2) to

attach the ice maker rmly to the refrigerator. - Make sure the screw holes are aligned with each other before tightening the screws.

6. Put the ice bucket on the shelf as shown.

By design, the ice bucket is supposed to sit behind the ice maker. Otherwise, the ice cubes from the ice maker will not collect in the bucket as intended.

7. When installation is complete, turn the

refrigerator on, and then press Test Switch (A) on the ice maker to check if the ice maker operates and supplies water for the ice tray normally. CAUTION

• If you don’t intend to use the ice maker, or if you are going for a business trip or vacation, turn off the ice maker.

• Do not turn the ice maker on without the ice bucket in place. The ice cubes produced by the ice maker will drop into and scatter through out the freezer.

• Noises may occur when the ice maker is making ice or being supplied with water, or when ice cubes drop into the ice bucket. However, this is not a system failure. When the ice bucket is full, none of these noises will occur.

• The rst time you use the ice maker, or after you have replaced the water lter, the ice made by the ice maker may have a carbon residue. If this happens, discard the rst full load of ice. Note that the carbon residue is harmless to humans. Untitled-6 27 2020-11-11 PM 2:43:44Installation English28 Installation STEP 7 Initial settings By completing the following steps, the refrigerator should be fully functioning.

1. Plug the power cord into the wall socket to turn the refrigerator on.

2. Open the door, and check if the interior light lights up.

3. Set the temperature to the coldest setting, and wait for about an hour. Then, the freezer
