Symptoms Reason Solution
Water tastes
strange.
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.
Clicking noises
The defrost control will click
when the automatic defrost
cycle begins and ends. The
thermostat control (or
appliance control on some
models) will also click when
cycling on and off.
