1. The automatic icemaker can automatically make 8 cubes at a time, 60~80 pieces per day. This quantity may vary by circumstance, including ambient temperature, door opening, freezer load, etc.
2. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
3. Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full.
4. If you don't want to use the automatic icemaker, turn the icemaker switch to OFF. If you want to use the automatic icemaker again, change the switch to ON.
5. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

Note

The sound produced when the ice drops into the ice storage bin is normal. It is not caused by a defective product.

WARNING

• If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
• Do not store ice (cubes) longer than two weeks.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several days.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

How to uninstall (Cleaning)

• When filling water to the water tank, pull the cover on top sides to open the water tank as shown in (1).

• When assembling the water tank, please push water tank until indicated line matches the hole. As shown in (2).

Auto ice making is not operating when water tank is in wrong position. At this moment you can see "no water" signal on display window.

NO WATER Indicator

NO WATER mark (NO WATER) appears on the display when Water Tank is not equipped with refrigerator or no water in the Water Tank. - NO WATER mark disappears on the display if Water Tank filled with water is re-equipped with refrigerator. But if Water Tank filled with no water is equipped with refrigerator, NO WATER mark disappears for a moment and NO WATER mark is displayed again. - The sound made while the ice is dropping to the bin is normal. After dispensing, "thump" may be heard as the pump operates. This is a normal sound.

Note

• When assembling or disassembling the water tank, be careful not to apply excessive force as it can damage the water tank.
• If there is no water in the water tank, you will not be able to use the Auto Ice Maker function.
• When the water in the water tank is low, the size of the ice may be made smaller.
• When you are refilling the water to the water tank, it is good to empty the water.
• Please fill water tank with water until 1.5L.

WARNING

• Please use potable water currently circulated
• If you soft drinks, milk and fruit juices or ground water (included Ca, Mg, Si, etc...) or no filtered water, it may cause out of working.
• When you fill water tank with water, please let hot water cool and put water tank in refrigerator - Hot water can be caused out of working.
• Because the water tank can get heavy, don't let children use or hold the water tank, especially with on hand.

Storing Food

CAUTION

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer and cause the temperature to rise.
• Never keep too many foods in the door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment—they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
• Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials, or other temperature-sensitive products in the refrigerator. Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
• If you want to quick freeze new food, put it in the middle drawer of the freezer compartment, and then press the Express Frz. button.
• To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert the freezer drawers all the way.

Suggestion for energy saving

• Please do not keep the door open for a long time; close the door in the shortest time.
• Too much food is not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air to circulate freely.
• Do not set the temperature of the fridge-freezer lower than needed. Do not put food near the temperature sensor. Keep a distance of at least 5mm from the sensors.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food and lead to higher electric bills.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps the fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer and cause the temperature to rise.
• Keeping the position of inner parts like baskets, drawers (fridge), shelves, and wire shelves supplied by the manufacturer is the most efficient usage for energy saving.

General Information

Power Failure

• A 1-2 hour power failure does no harm to the stored foods. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.

If You Move

Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape. - Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.

Anti Condensation Pipe

The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of the fridge and freezer, and also on the partition between the fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing. - Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.

To Reverse the Doors

• Your fridge-freezer is designed with reversible doors, so that they may open from either the left or right hand side to suit your kitchen design.

4. Hold the phone in position until the end of the sound data transfer.

1. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about 3 seconds. Resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.

Note

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
• Call quality differences by region may affect the function.
• Use the home telephone for better communication performance, resulting in better service.
• Bad call quality may result in poor data transmission from your phone to the machine, which could cause Smart Diagnosis to not work properly.
