You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions,

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

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,

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, or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

• Keepfingers 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 burned-

out 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.

• 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:

"...Youmay 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,)

\ J

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,

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°1=(0°C to 8°C)

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator

compartment will become.

U LTRAICE

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.)

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.

ULTRAICE Y_ FREEZERTEMPERATURE ii',/

O°FIS RECOMMENDED COiDER wARMER _J'i_

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C, press and hold

COLDER key of freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator

over 3 seconds at the same time. and if you want to change

change °C to °F, hold them for 3 seconds again.

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.

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

o 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 pebble-

sized pieces.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid dropping them.

both refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay

cold and frozen,

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen

food locker.

b) Place 2 Ibs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic

foot of freezer space, This will keep the food frozen

for two to four days, While handling dry ice, wear

gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.

c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,

consume or can perishable food at once,

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you

are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator

before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Empty the ice bin,

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you

leave, follow these steps.

Remove all food from the refrigerator.

Depending on your model, set the thermostat control

(refrigerator control to OFE See the Setting the

Controls section.

Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.

Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to

prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops

odor and mold from building up.

WHEN YOU MOVE

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

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.

Set the icemaker power switch to 0 (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.

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 double-

insulated 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

•CopperTubing, 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.

. 112" or adjustable

wrench.

• Straight- and Phillips-

blade screwdriver

Two 114" outer diameter

compression nuts and ¢_

2ferrules (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 THEVALVELOCATION

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 THEVALVE

Drill a 114" hole in the water

pipe (even if using a self-

piercing 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.
