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.
2. Fix union as seen in the opposite
figure, by squeezing by hand on the
refrigerator inlet valve.
(a- Water Pipe, b-Union, c-Valve)
CNote 1: You should not need to

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.
CThere is no need to use water filter in
case a jug is used.
CPump must be used when jug will be
used.

EN
18
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.
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.

EN

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.
If you want to have the filter change time
calculated automatically and receive a
