Where to lnstall

Strong and even floor

Unstable installation may cause vibration and noise. If the floor to install the refrigerator on is not even, make the refrigerator level by rotating the height adjusting screw. Carpet or floorcloth on which a refrigerator is installed may be discolored by heat from the bottom of the refrigerator. So, it is necessary to place a thick pad below the refrigerator.
  A proper distance from adjacent items

Please keep the refrigerator at a proper distance from other things. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity charges consumption.
  Where feed water pipe can be easily connected in a dry place

Select a place where a feed water pipe can be easily connected between the automatic ice maker and dispenser.
A wet or near-water place, refrigerator may be rusted or electricity may be leaking.
  Where is free from heat or coal gas

Places where ambient temperature are high, freezing capability is deteriorated and electric charge is increased.
Coal gas and smoke may discolor the appearance of refrigerator.
NOTE
Install the refrigerator at a place where the ambient temperature is 5¡ÆC~43¡ÆC.
Too high or low ambient temperature may cause functional troubles. Also, the tube between the dispenser and automatic ice maker may be frozen.



Door Removal

If your access door is too narrow for the refrigerator to pass the through, remove the refrigerator door and pass the refrigerator laterally.

Remove lower cover and then feed water pipe

Remove the lower cover by lifting upward, and then pull up the feed water tube while pressing area shown in the figure to the right.


NOTE
If a tube end is deformed or abraded, cut the part away.
  Remove the freezer compartment door

1) Separate all connection wires except for the earth line after removing the hinge cover by loosening the screws.

2) Remove the keeper by rotating it to counted
clockwise (¨ç) and then lifting the upper hinge up (¨è).

Feed water pipe Installation

Before installation

· Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147~834 kPa (1.5~8.5kgf/§²) (That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be fully filled within 3 sec.).
· If water pressure does not reach the rating 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/§²) or below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and cool water feed.
· Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 12 m and be careful for the tube not be bent straightly. If the tube is 12 m or longer it may cause trouble in water feed owing to the drain water pressure.
· Install the feed water pipe tube at a place free from heat.

Warning
· Connect to potable water supply only.
