BEFORE FIRST USE

INSTALLING WATER LINE1. For models with Automatic Ice

Maker– The water pressure should be

2.0~12.5 kgf/cm2 or more to run theAutomatic Ice Maker.

– Check your tap water pressure. If acup of 180 cc is full within 10 sec-onds, the pressure is appropriate.

– If the water pressure is not highenough to run the Automatic IceMaker, call the local plumber to getan additional water pressure pump.

2. When installing the water tubes, en-sure they are not close to any hot sur-faces.

3. The water filter only “filters” water. Itdoes not eliminate any bacteria or mi-crobes.

4. The filter life depends on the amount ofuse. We recommend you replace thefilter at least once every 6 months.When attaching the filter, place it for aneasy access (to remove and replace) .

5. After installing refrigerator and waterline system, select WATER on yourcontrol panel and press it for 2–3 mi-nutes to supply water into the watertank and dispense water.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

HINTS FOR STORING FOODWash foods before storing.Divide and separate foods into smallerpieces.

Place watery foods or foods with muchmoisture in front of shelves (close to thedoor side). If they are placed close to thecold air spout, they can be frozen.

Warm or hot foods should be cooleddown enough before storing to reducepower consumption and to enhance re-frigeration performance.

Be careful in storing tropical fruit such asbananas, pineapples and tomatoes asthey can easily deteriorate in lower tem-perature.

Keep as much space between foods aspossible. If it is too tight or too close,cold air circulation is hindered, resultingin poor refrigeration.

Never forget to cover or wrap foods toprevent odour of foods.

Do not store vegetables in the chilledplace as they can become frozen.

Egg case can be placed on a refrigeratorshelf the way you prefer.

15

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING OF THE INTERIORPARTSUse cloth with water and mild (neutral) de-tergent to clean.1. Dispenser Water Shelf

Remove the spill grill and clean the wa-ter shelf regularly (the spill shelf is notself-draining).

bly forward to remove.– Replacing: fit to the side grooves

and insert to the end. If it is difficultto fully insert the case, remove it, ro-tate the swirl coil in the case or drivemechanism a quarter turn and insertagain.

– Do not store ice cubes for too long.

3. Freezer and Refrigerator PocketsHold both ends and pull up.

4. Freezer and Refrigerator ShelvesOpen the door comp letely, then pullshelves forward to remove.

5. Vegetable and Fruit CasePull forward and lift up a bit to remove.
