This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

,_ This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You might be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

&CAUTION

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
· NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
· Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
· When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
· DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
· Do NOT allow children to climb, stand, sit or hang on doors, drawers or shelves of the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
· Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
· Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified technician.

· Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician. NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
· When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.
· This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
· After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.
· In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
· Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It will cause electric shock or fire.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold–below 40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
· Take off the doors.
· Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer.

If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
f

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

b

&WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

J

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 20 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
&WARNING
Connect to safe drinking water supply only. · The water pressure must be between 21 and
121 p.s.i. (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm 2) on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5 kgf/cm 2) on models with a water filter. · If water pressure does not reach 21 psi (1.5kgf/cm _) or falls below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaker and water dispensing operation. · It is recommended that the total length of the water feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m). · Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before you begin. · If operating the refrigerator before installing the
water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water. · All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. · Use copper tubing and check for leaks. · Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing. · It may take up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin producing ice.

Tools Required
· Standard screwdriver
· 7/16-in. and 1/2-in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
· 1/4-in. nut driver · 1/4-in. drill bit
· Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded) NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1/4-in. saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddletype valve complies with local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-in. saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
Cold Water Supply · The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. · The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 21 ~121 psi (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm 2) on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5kgf/cm _)on models with a water filter.

INSIAllAIION

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

BEFORE YOu BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is doubleinsulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. NOTE: Wear eye protection.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
· Copper Tubing, 1/4″ outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10″ [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
· A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i, on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on models with a water filter.
· Power drill.
· 1/2″ or adjustable wrench.
· Straight- and Phillips-blade screwdriver.

· Two 1/4″ outer diameter

compression nuts and 2
ferrules (sleeves) to connect
the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve.

· If your existing copper water f

_,

line has a flared fitting at the I

_

I

end, you will need an adapter I _-

:.. _ )) I

(available at plumbing supply _

I

stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you

can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

· Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32″ at

the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are

included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
   Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
   2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
   3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a 1/4″ hole in the water pipe (even if using a selfpiercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4″ hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
   4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
   Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

Plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet, and move the refrigerator into its final position. Remove the kick plate screws and then the kick plate. · Open the Freezer Drawer. · Once the drawer is open, there is sufficient
clearance to remove the screws on top of the kick plate. NOTE: To replace the kick plate, place it into position, and then insert and tighten the screws.

Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch (18mm) wrench or a flat blade screw driver.
Turn the leveling legs (CCW) to raise or (CW) to lower the height of the front of the refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher than the back.
NOTE: If someone pushes backward against the top of the refrigerator, weight is lifted off of the leveling legs, which makes adjustment easier.
Open both doors to make sure they close easily. If not, raise the leveling legs higher by turning both clockwise the same amount.
Once the refrigerator is level, replace the kickplate.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be independently opened or closed.
You will have to exert slight pressure on the doors to close them completely.
NOTE: In order not to move the refrigerator back and forth, fix it with the ‘Adjust’ to the floor to install and use.

INSIAllAIION
LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS (CONT.)
DOOR ALIGNMENT

· With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at middle hinge.
· With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.
· Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with unit.)

STARTING
Before loading your refrigerator with fresh foods:
· Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. To remove any remaining adhesive residue, rub the area briskly with your thumb, or rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
NOTE: Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the tech sheet that is taped to the back of the refrigerator.
· Thoroughly clean your refrigerator and wipe off all dust that may have accumulated during shipping.

· Install accessories such as the ice cube bin, drawers, and shelves, in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
· Adjust the desired temperature for the refrigerator and freezer (see Adjusting the Temperature and Functions).
· Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

22

ttOW113USE

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections.
As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of the freezer and circulates down.

From the bottom of the freezer, air is forced up to the top of the refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through the top vent, then circulates and exists at the bottom, where it returns to the freezer.

MULTI-FLOW
· Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.
· If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air.
Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors, To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

· Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
· Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (-18°C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.
· Refrigerator control: 33°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C) The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.
iCE PLUS
37 °F iS RECOMMENDED
· Freezer control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.

· ICE PLUS: Press the ICE PLUS key and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and intensify the cooling speed of freezer and increase the amount of ice.
iCE PLUS
0 °F IS RECOMMENDED
NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C, press and hold COLDER key of freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator over 5 seconds at the same time. and if you want to change °C to °F, hold them for 5 seconds again.
kCAUTION
Display mode setting and its cancellation ·To enter this mode, raise either the Refrigerator or Freezer temperature to its highest setting. Then, press and hold WARMER Key for 5 seconds. · Perform the same way again to cancel the display mode.

HOW10 USE

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

&WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard · DO NOT insert your hands in to the Icemaker in operation. It may cause to injure you.
Operation instructions A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic Shut off Arm

Power Switch

The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycleapproximately 90-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on). The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the Automatic Shut off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

When you should set the icemaker power switch to O (off)
· When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
· When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute or two.
· When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
Normal sounds you may hear · The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to 0 (off). NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.
· You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
Preparing for vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

USE

STORING FOODS

· Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.
· How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
· Do not store food that spoils easily, such as bananas and melons, at low temperatures.
· Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead to higher energy consumption.
· When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its flavor and nutrition.
· Do not block air vents with food or containers. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the refrigerator temperatures even.
· Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and freezer compartments, which causes temperatures to rise.
· Never overload the door racks; overloading may push against the inner racks and prevent the doors from closing correctly.

Freezer compartment

· Do not store glass bottles in the freezer

compartment;
are frozen.

glass may break when the contents

· Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.

· Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass products in the freezer compartment.

Refrigerator compartment
· Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator shelves; it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.
· Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped and packed food should be wiped to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator 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 the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

HOW10 USE

SHELF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.
storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into small, pebble-sized pieces.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid dropping them.
Adjusting Shelves Remove shelves from the shipping position and place shelves in the position you want.
&CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf’s falling or spilling food.

Remove Shelf

Reinstall Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf. Lift up the back and pull out the shelf.

Tilt up the front of the shelf and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at a desired height. Then lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots.

CAREANDCLEANING

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
&WARNING
Explosion Hazard · Use nonflammable cleaner. · Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately. · Unplug the refrigerator. · Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and
crispers. · 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 thoroughly dry all surfaces. · Plug in the refrigerator. NOTE: Window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or flammable fluids can scratch or damage plastic covers or panels.

Cleaning the Exterior
For models with a stainless steel exterior, use a commercially available stainless steel cleaner in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
You may also use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts such as door liners or gaskets.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
NOTE: Allow the freezer to warm so the cleaning
cloth will not stick.
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. of water (26 g soda to 1 L of water). Be sure the baking soda dissolves completely so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator. IMPORTANT: Do not use a spray nozzle to clean the interior.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Storage
During average-length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in the freezer for longer life. When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to prevent mold and mildew. Be certain the stored refrigerator does not present a child entrapment danger.

Power Failure
Most power failures that are corrected within an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
Water may drip from the ice bin during a power outage. To prevent this, remove the ice bin, discard all of the ice, towel dry, and replace.

Moving
Unload the refrigerator to move it. (This is probably not necessary when pulling it out to clean behind it.) Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room temperature, and dry the inside before closing the doors to pack it for moving. To avoid damaging the height-adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
