function to detect what caused the original fault.
The first ice and water may include particles or odour from the feed water pipe
or the feed water box. The should also be done if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
Children may push the dispenser switch incorrectly, or damage the dispenser
by breaking associated parts. It may also cause them injury.
If foods are placed at the entrance of the ice chute, ice may not be dispensed.
The ice chute may become covered with ice powder if crushed ice is most
commonly used. Remove the accumulated ice powder.
Such glasses or containers may be broken.
This may damage the automatic ice maker.
Water may be splashed if ice is added after the drink.
Touching the ice outlet may cause a breakage or hand injury.
Ice may be jammed in ice chute causing the refrigerator to fail.
If ice is allowed to pile up near the ice maker, the ice maker may think that it is
already full and it will stop producing ice.
A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.
Water is cooled while stored in the water tank in the refrigerator compartment, and
then sent to the dispenser. Ice is made in the automatic ice maker and is then sent
to the dispenser as either crushed or cubed ice.
NOTE
• It is normal that at first the water is not very cold. If you want colder water, add ice to the glass.
Throw away the first ice (about 20 pieces) and the first water (about 7 glasses)
passing through the appliance when the refrigerator is initially installed.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Always ensure that food does not block the ice chute.
Never use fine crystal glasses or crockery to collect ice.
Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice storage bin for
rapid cooling.
Put ice into a glass before filling with water or other beverages.
Never touch the ice outlet either with hands or any implement.
If discolored ice is dispensed, stop using the appliance and contact your serv-
ice centre immediately.
Never remove the ice maker cover. It might be necessary from time to time to
level the ice so the storage bin can fill to capacity.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
Never use narrow or deep glassware when using the icemaker
as ice can back up into the ice chute and cause a malfunction.

The other
functions
You can use the Automatic ice maker and Water Dispenser function
without having to connect an external water pipe to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator uses an internal water tank located on the
refrigerator door to supply water for these functions.
To fill the water tank
Lift up the clamps on both sides to open the water
tank cover, and then fill the tank. Pour water up to the
marked line (4.5ℓ). When the tank is full, close the tank
cover and lock the clamps on both sides.
The water tank can also be filled from the removable fill
cap located on the water tank lid.
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 and Water Dispenser function.
When the water in the water tank is low, the size of the ice cubes may
become smaller.

tank, especially with one hand.
As the ice maker uses water from the water tank, you may hear the water pump
operating 8~10 times per day.
Because the water tank can get heavy,don’t let children use or hold the water
It’s a good idea to clean out the water initially before filling it with water
Using other liquid besides water can cause problems to the pump.
To remove the water tank:
Turn the locking dial to the “OPEN” position as shown in
Fig.(1). Then hold and pull the cap of the water tank in the
direction of the arrow in Fig.(2) to release the water tank.
the water tank can now be lifted carefully out of the door
basket for filling or cleaning.
To refit the water tank:
Place the filled water tank back into the door basket and align
the pick up nozzle to the water pipe spigot as shown in Fig (3).
Firmly push the tank so that the water pick up nozzle locates into
the spigot. Fig (4). Then turn the locking dial to the “CLOSED” position.
The pump motor will then automatically operate when this is
done so that the water line is purged of any air.
NOTE: If the tank is not inserted correctly, water will leak
from the pick up nozzle onto the door basket.
Always wait 15 seconds after dispensing water before
attempting to remove the water bottle for filling or cleaning.
