BEFORE FIRST USE
INSTALLING WATER LINE
1.
For models with Automatic Ice
Maker
– The water pressure should be
2.0~12.5 kgf/cm2 or more to run the
Automatic Ice Maker.
– Check your tap water pressure. If a
cup of 180 cc is full within 10 sec-
onds, the pressure is appropriate.
– If the water pressure is not high
enough to run the Automatic Ice
Maker, call the local plumber to get
an additional water pressure pump.
2.
When installing the water tubes, en-
sure they are not close to any hot sur-
faces.
3.
The water lter only “lters” water. It
does not eliminate any bacteria or mi-
crobes.
4.
The lter life depends on the amount of
use. We recommend you replace the
lter at least once every 6 months.
When attaching the lter, place it for an
easy access (to remove and replace) .
5.
After installing refrigerator and water
line system, select WATER on your
control panel and press it for 2–3 mi-
nutes to supply water into the water
tank and dispense water.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS FOR STORING FOOD
tWash foods before storing.
tDivide and separate foods into smaller
pieces.
tPlace watery foods or foods with much
moisture in front of shelves (close to the
door side). If they are placed close to the
cold air spout, they can be frozen.
tWarm or hot foods should be cooled
down enough before storing to reduce
power consumption and to enhance re-
frigeration performance.
tBe careful in storing tropical fruit such as
bananas, pineapples and tomatoes as
they can easily deteriorate in lower tem-
perature.
tKeep as much space between foods as
possible. If it is too tight or too close,
cold air circulation is hindered, resulting
in poor refrigeration.
tNever forget to cover or wrap foods to
prevent odour of foods.
tDo not store vegetables in the chilled
place as they can become frozen.
tEgg case can be placed on a refrigerator
shelf the way you prefer.
