PARTS AND FEATURES
REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
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, or hang on the refrigerator doors or
shelves in 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 when you open the doors when
children are in the area.
· Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: We
strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
· 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 burnedout light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove
power to the light circuit.
· Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment – they may break when
frozen, causing damage.
HOW TO REMOVE REFRIGERATOR DOOR
· The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is
accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.
· 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.
· This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the
Attention 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 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, get rid
of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating 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.”
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous.., even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right 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.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), is made of parts and materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the important materials should be sent to the collecton center of waste material and can be reused after rework (recycling). For take back, please contact with the local agency.
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.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
3-prong grounding type wall receptacle -.
3-prong grounding plug .,,-
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60
Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a
light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source, 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 (in
the United States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts,
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of
the refrigerator.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws one on the right and one on
the left, If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the Refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet, Move
the refrigerator into its final position,
2. Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator
or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling
screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some
weight off the leveling screws, This makes it easier to adjust the screws,
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to
align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at middle hinge,
2. With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap
rings are provided with the refrigerator.)
3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If
not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling
screws clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount,
4. Re-adjust if necessary. 5. Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors.
Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have
to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close completely.
15
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 bottom of the freezer, air is forced up
to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then
circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to 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.
DOOR ALARM With this feature you’ll listen a alarm when the freezer or
refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is opened. These
tones repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is cancelled when the freezer or the
refrigerator is closed correctly.
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.
ULTRAICE
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. The refrigerator compartment
becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.
ULTRAICE: Press the ULTRAICE key and the LED will turn on, This function will
remain activated for 24 hours to intensify the cooling speed of freezer and
increase the amount of ice.
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.)

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is
best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-
settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal
household refrigerator usage, The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm,
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance
(refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer
the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the
freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by
adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator
adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold,
then adjust the freezer control as well,
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide,
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food 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.
Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed
compartment, When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze. Cheese
Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened,
rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons, For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door
shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf. Fruit
Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do
not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them, Sort and keep
berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed
paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain, Place in a plastic bag or
plastic container and store in the crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper. Fish Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day
purchased.
Snack pan Store most chef fresh in original wrapping as long as it is airtight
and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary.
Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic
containers with tight lids can also be used.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food
storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.
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 you do, you
could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and 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
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 Ibs 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 (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, then package
and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to
malfunction.
Suffocation Hazard When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice
is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen,
causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation,
Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.

REFRIGERATOR SECTION
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual
storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire shelves.
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 pebblesized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid
dropping them.

fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
NOTE: Automatic Ice Maker feature is included only in certain models. Please
check your product specification. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Icemaker
Cube Size Indicator Light
Cube Size Select Button
Power Switch
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle_ approximately 100-130 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 feeler arm,
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler 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.
NOTE: If the cube size is smaller or larger than you expected, you can
regulate the size with the cube size button.
Every time you press the cube size button, the indicator moves up one light,
The higher the light position, the larger the cubes will be. Pressing at
highest position returns indicator to lowest position.
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 O
(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.
25
NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the Automatic Ice Maker and/or
Water Dispenser features are available on your product,
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,
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2,4 m) as described
above,
· 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 Phillipsblade screwdriver
· Two 114″ 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 line has a flared fitting at the end, you will
need an adapter (available at plumbing supply 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,
. CHOOSE THE VALVELOCATION 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,
, DRILLTHE 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.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because
the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make
the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
· The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and
ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model)
will also click when cycling on and off.
· Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or
items stored on top of the refrigerator.
· Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food
items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause
your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a
pulsating or high-pitched sound.
· You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
· As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant
flowing in your refrigerator.
· Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
· Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a
sizzling sound.
· You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
· You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Check if…
Then…
The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model,
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures,
expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often.
The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the Food Storage Guide Section. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
