Selecting the Location for the Refrigerator
Select a location with easy access to the water supply. Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator. Select a location which is not exposed to sunlight. Select a location with level floor. Before disassembling the freezer door, the water supply line needs to be disconnected. (If not, the water supply line can be damaged.) See Separating the water supply line from the refrigerator on the next page. Allow sufficient space to circulate the air in the internal cooling system. If the refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work correctly. Allow clearance to the right, left, back and the top when installing the refrigerator. This has the advantage of reducing power consumption. Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50F(10C). 0.1inch 2inches

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi is required. In this range, a 170 cc (5.74 ounces) paper cup can be filled in 10 secs. 2) The water filter removes foreign particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms. 3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a booster pump to compensate. 4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the outlet. A Water line installation kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manufacturer recommends that you use a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

Checking the Parts

Optional parts

Tapping screw

A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser. Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine shelf (RS277).
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is ICE MAKER filled with water from the water supply tap. Check the amount of water (see the illustration below). If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small. This is not a problem with the ice maker but of the water pressure in the pipe, and occurs frequently. When this problem occurs, contact a service person to check the amount of water supplied. 3) In case ice doesn't come out, pull out the ice bucket and press test button located on the bottom of ice maker.
