Preparing for Vacation
Turn icemakers off and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
To turn the icemakers off, refer to Control Panel in the Operation section.
NOTE

• The ice bin should be emptied any time icemakers are turned Off.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

Storing Food

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
• If doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

Food Storage Tips
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.
CAUTION

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.

How to Store Food

• Butter or Margarine
  – Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

• Cheese
  – Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

• Milk
  – Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.

• Eggs
  – Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

• Fruit
  – Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.

• Leafy Vegetables
  – Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

• Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
  – Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.

• Fish
  – Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended.

• Leftovers
  – Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

NOTE

• Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come into direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

Storing Frozen Food
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE

• Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging Recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use
•  Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

  – You can lower energy usage based on Demand Response (DR) signals from the utility company. If the refrigerator is operating in Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.

• Seasonal Energy Savings
  – Lower energy usage based on time period.

Using the Smart Grid Function
This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response signals. If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator display and control its power consumption according to the signal. The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.
Delay Appliance Load (DAL)
The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period.
This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

• When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
• DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR)
The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.

• When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
• TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Override Smart Grid Mode
To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.
When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
WARNING

• Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

CAUTION

• Do not use an abrasive cloth or sponge when cleaning the interior and exterior of the refrigerator.
• Do not place your hand on the bottom surface of the refrigerator when opening and closing the doors.

General Cleaning Tips

• Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both sections once a month to prevent odors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves.
• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

Exterior
For products with black stainless steel exterior, spray glass cleaner on a clean microfiber cloth and rub in direction of grain. Do not spray glass cleaner directly at the display panel. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. For products with a standard stainless steel exterior, use a damp microfiber cloth and rub in the direction of the grain. Dry with a paper towel to avoid streaks. For stubborn stains and fingerprints, use a few drops of liquid dish soap in water, and rinse with hot water before drying. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Inside Walls

• Allow freezer to warm up so the cloth will not stick.

To help remove odors, wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
Plastic Parts (Covers and Panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use glass cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids.
These can scratch or damage the material.
Condenser Coils
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or crevice attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Air Filter

Reusing the Air Filter
You can remove the odors absorbed by the air filter and reuse the filter.

1. To remove the air filter, pull out the upper fridge drawer.

2. Unscrew the screw at the air filter.
   

3. Press on the hooks at the air filter and then take it out.

4. Leave the filter in the sun to dry or use a hair dryer.
   • To increase deodorizing performance, a natural palm wood material is attached to the filter. If residue falls off, it will not harm you and can be wiped off easily with a towel or cloth.
