takes a few hours to reach the appropriate

MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually
as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrig-
erator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circu-
lation.

Multi-Flow System
• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This pro-
vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh
longer.

Xtra SpaceTM
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.

Door Alarm
• Beeper reminds you that the door is open.

Xtra FreshTM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

CoolSelect ZoneTM Drawer (RS2556, RS2578)

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly chill,
thaw and cool items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control the

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi is required.
In this range a 170 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.

2) The water filter removes 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 for the low pressure.

4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dis-
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.

Water line installation kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manufacturer
NOTE recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

Connecting to water supply line

- Shut off the main water supply line and turn 1. Cold Water line
the Ice maker to the off position. 2. Pipe Clamp.
- Locate the nearest cold drinking water line.
3. Water Line Installation Kit
- Follow the instructions in the ice maker

- After connecting the water supply with water
filter, turn on water supply and flush 4 or
more gallons into a bucket to clear the water

1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off the valve of the
water supply line.
ICE WATER
2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around
the water filter.

• A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.
NOTE • Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine shelf (RS2578).

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

1) Lift up (①) and pull out (➁) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.

2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is
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. CHECK THE WATER LEVEL
This is not a problem with the ice maker
but of the water pressure in the pipe.
When this problem occurs, contact
