Symptoms

Reason

Solution

Ice is not dispensed.

Unable to hear the sound of

ice coming out?

•

In the control panel, select the

modes for cubed ice and crushed ice

alternately to dispense the ice.

Is the ice path blocked? (You

can check the ice passage by

separating the ice bin.)

•

Ice may not be dispensed properly if

the ice passage is blocked. Check

the ice and clean the ice path

regularly.

Water does not come

out.

The supply valve may be

turned off? (For Plumbed

models Only)

•

Open the water supply valve.

The water dispenser tank may

be empty? (Non plumbed

models only)

•

Fill the water dispenser tank.

Is the water supply valve

closed? (For Plumbed models

Only)

•

Open the water supply valve.

Are you using unfiltered

water?

•

Unfiltered water can contain a large

amount of various heavy metals or

foreign substances, so the filter may

be clogged in the early stage

regardless of the life of the filter.

Water tastes strange.

Is the taste of water different

when comparing it with the

taste of water from the

previous water purifier?

•

Has the purified water or cold water

not been used for an extended

period of time?

Has it been a long time since

you installed and replaced the

filter?

•

If an expired filter is used, the

purification performance may

decline. It is recommended to

replace the filter according to the

filter replacement period.

Have you flushed out the filter

properly in the initial stage

after installing it?

•

When you install or replace the filter

for the first time, you need to remove

air and activated carbon residue

from inside the filter. Use the

appliance after dispensing and

discharging approximately 5 litres of

purified water from the dispenser by

pressing the water dispensing lever.

(Activated carbon is harmless to

humans.)

Has the purified water or cold

water not been used for an

extended period of time?

•

The taste of old water may change

due to bacterial growth. Use the

product after dispensing and

discharging approximately 5 litres

(approximately three minutes) from

the water dispenser.
