cHEckING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the water filter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize
or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase
a water purifying system to do that.
In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water
pressure of 20~125 psi is required.
Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can
be filled in about 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water
pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump
to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make
sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the water outlet.
Water line installation kits are available at extra
cost from your dealer. We recommend using a
water line installation kit that contains copper tubing
and ¼” compression nut.
