Trouble shooting

problem Solution
Heat Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed
Front and side of beneath the surface to prevent moisture
refrigerator feels warm or hot forming on it
Door is sticky Doors do not open easily When you close the door and then open

again immediately, the door is not easy to open because warm air rushes in and creates the pressure difference In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily
Strange sound It sounds like water is flowing from the refrigerator| When the compressor starts to run or stop, refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the pipes can make such a sound
| Defrosted water can also make such a sound (This refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system )
Strange sound Cracking or clicking sounds| Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature change — When the inside gets cold or when the door is open, such sounds can be made
Strange sound Humming or buzzing sounds| Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make such working sound (If the refrigerator is not level, the sound can be louder )
Frost and dew| Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases;

  • High temperature and/or high humidity around the refrigerator
  •  When doors are open too long.
  •  Food with much moisture are stored uncovered or unwrapped
  • You can see the same appearance when cold water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming on the surface of it

Dew or frost on
the wall and/
or food container
surface in the freezer
and refrigerator
compartment
Frost and dew Dew on the cabinet surface| If it is highly humid around the refrigerator, moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form dew
Ice & water not working| The ice and water dispenser does not operate if the right hand French door is opened

Check if the refrigerator can pass a doorway or enter a door first. Dimensions (including Door Handles)

  • (WidthDepthHeight)
  • 91.44cm x 92.20cm x 177.29cm

Find a suitable place to install

  • Sufficient space from refrigerator back to the wall for free
  •  air ventilation.

Avoid direct sunlight.
NOTE: Once the installation place is ready, follow the installation instructions.
If the surrounding temperature of refrigerator is low (below 5°C), food can be frozen or the refrigerator can work in abnormal way.

    Contact : Australia Please call 13 13 50 New Zealand Free call 0800 10 66 20

CAUTION
Wipe up with cloth if droplets fall when exchanging a filter. Draw water from the water dispenser for 5 minutes before use. This will remove air from the water system. margarine and cheeses. The compartment is slightly warmer than the rest of the refrigerator compartment, while the lid provides protection against odours.

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 lengthy period, 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 room 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 lengthy period: Empty the ice box and discard any ice produced over the next 24 hours

How to install Water Line

  1. The water pressure should be 29psi – 125psi or more to run the automatic icemaker. Check up 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 so high to run the icemaker, call the local plumber to get an additional water pressure pump.
  5. If the water pressure exceeds 125psi a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
