Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out

the lever dispenser after taking out ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes.

When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In this 

process, the pressure in the water that has flowed out of the filter gets increased, and oxygen and 

nitrogen become saturated. When this water flows out in the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen 

and nitrogen get supersaturated so that they turn into gas bubbles. The water could look misty due to 

these oxygen bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. 

After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

If you use all the ice at once, steps 3 and above 4 must be repeated 

(before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes, you need to wait 8 hours). 

This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

Caution

•    

In case ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test 

button located on the right side of ice maker.

•    

Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or 

water. Water may overflow or ice jamming may occur.

•    

Normal Use

         To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, make sure to do 

the following steps.

   1.   Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours

        (or 1 full day).

   2.  Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.

   3.  Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.

   4.  After 8 and 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

using the water dispenser

Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. 

Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out.
If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water filter,Flush 3 gallons through filter before use 

(flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure that water flows clearly again before drinking.

Test button

Caution

When you do not use the water dispenser for 2~3 days (especially during the summer), the dispensed 

water may have a funny smell or taste.

If this occurs, we recommend that you discard the first 1~2 glasses for better tasting water.

using the ice off Function 

When selecting the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket.

If you are not using the ice dispenser, the ice cubes may clump together.

ice from the bucket. Push the bucket back until you hear a click.
