Information concerning the water filter
- After use, the water system is subject to low pressure.
Proceed with caution when removing the filter.
- Flush the water system if the appliance has not been in
use for a long period of time, or if the ice/water has an
unpleasant taste or smell. To do this, dispense water
through the water dispenser for several minutes.
If the unpleasant taste or smell remains, replace the filter.
- Protect from frost: remove the filter cartridge if you expect
the temperature to drop below freezing.
- If pressure surges could occur in the water pipe, do not
install the water filter without a suitable surge eliminator.
Contact an installation expert if you are not sure whether
pressure surges could occur in the water pipe.
- After installing a new filter:
Discard any ice produced in the first 24 hours after
switching on.
- If no ice has been removed for a long period of time, empty
the ice box and discard any ice produced over the next
24 hours.
How to install Water Line
(For dispenser models)
1. The water pressure should be 2.0~12.5 kgf/cm²
(1.96 ~12.26 Bar) or more to run the automatic icemaker.
Check your tap water pressure; if a cup of 180cc is
full within 10 seconds, the pressure is OK.
2. When installing the water tubes, ensure they are not
close to any hot surfaces.
3. The water filter only filters water; it does not eliminate
any bacteria or microbes.
4. If the water pressure is not sufficient to run the icemaker,
call the local plumber to get an additional water pressure
pump.
5. The filter life depends on the amount of use. We
recommend you to replace the filter at least once every
6
months.
6. After installation of refrigerator and water line system,
select [WATER] on your control panel and press it for
2~3 minutes to supply water into the water tank and
dispense
water.
7. Use plumbers thread sealing tape on every connection of
pipes/tubes to ensure there is no water leaks.
8. The water tube should be connected to the cold water
line.
