CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better
health, the water fi lter 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 fi lled in 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.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

Water line installation kit
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.
After connecting the water supply with water fi lter, turn on water supply and Flush 3 gallons through fi lter
before use (fl ush approximately 6 minutes).
If water drop or leakage is found on the connection area, turn off the main water supply.
Check it and, if necessary, tighten it more.
