Installing Water Filter
(in some models)
Two different water sources may
be connected to the refrigerator
for water supply: the mains cold
water supply and water in a jug.
Installation Requirements
A pump should be used for jug water
usage.
Check that the parts stated below are
supplied with your appliance.
1. Union for connection of the water
pipe to the rear of the appliance.
(If it does not fit, provide it from the
nearest authorized service.)
2. 2 pieces of pipe clips (In case
required to secure the water pipe)
Note: Since the following parts are
not required in use with a jug, they
may not be found in the product you
purchased.
3. 5-meter long water pipe (1/4 inch in
diameter)
4. Cold mains water valve with mesh
filter (Tap Adapter)
5. Water Filter or externally connectable
filter to be fitted to the bracket inside
the fridge compartment.
Place where the external filter is going
to be fitted should be determined
first. (Applies to the filter being
used outside the refrigerator.) Then,
determine the distance between the
filter and the refrigerator and required
hose lengths from the filter to the
refrigerator water inlet.
Water filter must be hold upright as
shown in the figure. It is important to
properly attach the filter to water inlet
and water outlet points.
After attaching the filter, do not use first
3-4 glasses of water.
Connection of the Water
Pipe to the Refrigerator
1. After installing the union onto the
water pipe, insert the water pipe to
the refrigerator inlet valve by pressing
downwards firmly.

CNote 1: You should not need to
tighten the union with a tool to achieve
water tight assembly. In case of a leak
use a spanner or a pair of pliers to
tighten the union.
Connection of Water Hose to
the Jug
(in some models)
To connect water to the refrigerator
from a jug, a pump is needed. Follow
the instructions below after connecting
one end of the water pipe coming
out of the pump to the refrigerator as
described on the previous page.
1. Finish the connection by pushing
the other end of the water pipe into
the water pipe inlet of the pump as
shown in the figure.
2. Put and fix the pump hose into the
jug as shown in the figure.
3. After completing the connection, plug
in and run the pump.
To provide an efficient operation of the
pump, wait for 2-3 minutes after
starting the pump.
CYou may refer to the user manual
of the pump while making the water
connection.

EN
15
CThere is no need to use water filter in
case a jug is used.
CPump must be used when jug will be
used.
Connection of the Water
Pipe to the Cold Water Mains
Line
(in some models)
If you want to use your refrigerator by
connecting it to the cold water mains
line,
you will have to connect a standard
1/2" valve connection fitting to the cold
water supply in your house. In case
this valve is not present or in case
you are not sure, consult a qualified
plumber.
1. Separate the union from the tap
adaptor. (Figure A)
2. Install the tap adaptor to 1/2” valve
fitting as shown in the figure. (Figure
B)
3. After inserting the water pipe to the
union, install it to the tap adaptor
and insert to the tap as shown in the
figure. (Figure C)
4. Tighten the union manually. In case of
a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers
to tighten the union.
ACaution: Secure the water pipe
to suitable points by means of the
pipe clips supplied to avoid any
damage or displacement or accidental
disconnection.

EN
16
ACaution: After turning on the water
valve, make sure that there is no
leakage at both connection points of
the water pipe. In case of a leak, turn
off the valve immediately and tighten all
joints again using a spanner or a pair
of pliers.
ACaution: Make sure that standard
1/2" valve fitting fed by cold mains
water supply is available and is turned
off fully.
To fit the water filter follow the
instructions below referring to figures
supplied:
1. Press ice cancel button on the
display.
2. Remove the filter cover in the fridge
compartment by pulling it forward.
3. Take out the water filter by-pass
cover by rotating it downwards.
ACaution: Make sure that the “Ice
off” mode is active before taking out
the by-pass cover.
Note: It is normal that a few drops of
water drip after the cover has been
taken out.
4. Remove the lid on top of the water
filter to place it as shown in the figure
and turn upwards to lock it.
5. Press ice cancel button on the
display again to exit from this mode.
Water filter should be replaced every 6
months.

EN
17
If you want to have the filter change
time calculated automatically and
receive a warning at the end of usage
time, please read "Calculating the Filter
Usage Time Automatically" section.
The water filter must be removed as
shown in the figure when it is going to
be replaced or when it will no longer
be used and by-pass cover must be
attached. It must be made sure that
Ice Off mode is active before taking it
out.
ACaution: Water filter cleans some
foreign particles in the water. It does
not purify water from microorganisms.
ACaution: Ice Off button must always
be pressed during replacement of the
water filter or installing the by-pass
cover.
Prior to first use of Water
Dispenser
CWater mains pressure must not be
below 1 bar.
CWater mains pressure must not be
above 8 bars.
CPumps must be used in case the
supply water pressure drops below 1
bar or if a jug is going to be used.
CWater system of the refrigerator
must be connected to the cold water
line. It must not be connected to hot
water line.
CNo water may be obtained in the
initial operation of the refrigerator. This
is caused by the air in the system. To
discharge air from the system, press
Dispenser latch for periods of 1 minute
until water comes from the Dispenser.
Water flow may be irregular in the
beginning. Irregular water flow will be
normalized after the air in the system is
discharged.
CAt the initial startup of the
refrigerator approx.12 hours must pass
before cold water can be obtained.
CWater mains pressure must be
between 1-8 bars for the operation
of Ice/Water Dispenser smoothly. For
this, check that 1 glass of water (100
cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.
CThe first 10 glasses of water should
not be consumed.
CApproximately the first 30 cubes
of ice to be obtained from the Ice
Dispenser must not be used.
CAlways use the water filter when a
jug is not being used.

EN
