front of the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing 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. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
y
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp
area.

Connecting the Water Line
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or flooding.
Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch on the control panel is in the OFF
position.
CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.
CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
18 INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
CAUTION
Wear eye protection during installation
to prevent injury.
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or
138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827
kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water
filter.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to the cold water supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to the cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276~414 kPa or
2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a
cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/
cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz
or 198 cc capacity):
Check to see if the sediment filter in
y
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse
y
osmosis system to refill after heavy
usage.
If the issue concerning water pressure
y
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
y
with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
Copper Tubing,
y ¼ in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.
To determine how
y
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 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the
refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
Power drill.
y
½ in. or adjustable
y
wrench.
Flat blade and Phillips
y
head screwdrivers.
Two ¼ in. outer
y
diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and
the refrigerator water valve.
NOTE
A self piercing saddle type water valve
should not be used.
If your existing copper water line has a
y
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
y to connect to the cold
water line. The shutoff valve should
have a water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32 in. 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.
19
INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
NOTE
The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use
only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595
or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene
(PEX) tubing.
Water Line 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 ¼ in. hole in
the water pipe using
a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole
in the pipe. Be careful
not to allow water
to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in.
hole may result in reduced ice production
or smaller cubes.
WARNING
When using any electrical device
(such as a power drill) during
installation, be sure the device is
battery powered, double insulated
or grounded in a manner that will
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
4 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water
pipe with the pipe clamp.

Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid
mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control
energy usage or delay the operation of some
functions to save energy during peak usage
periods.
You can override the Smart Grid function
y
at any time (using the Smart Grid button or
application).
To use the Smart Grid function, you need to
y
register your appliance with your electric utility
company.
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 it
lasts for the amount of time 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 it
lasts for 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.

CAUTION
When handling the ice bin,
keep hands away from
the icemaker tray area to
avoid personal injury.
In-Door Ice Bin
Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin
1 Gently pull the handle to open the ice
compartment.
2 To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the
front handle, slightly lift the lower part,
and slowly pull out the bin as shown.
Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin
1 Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while
slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the
icemaker.
2 Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler
arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the
label on the ice compartment door for
details.
CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice
y
compartment door and dispenser chute.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
personal injury.
The icemaker stops producing ice when the
y
in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice,
empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in
the freezer compartment. During use, ice
may build up higher around the sensor than
in the rest of the bin, causing the icemaker
to stop producing ice before the bin is full.
Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it
can reduce this problem.
To avoid damaging the icemaker, do not
y
store cans or other items in the ice bin.
Keep the ice compartment door closed
y
tightly. If the ice compartment door is not
closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will
freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop
producing ice.
If the icemaker is turned OFF for
y
an extended period of time, the ice
compartment will gradually warm up
to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser,
ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few
hours.
Auto shutoff

32 HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Automatic Icemaker
Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
70-182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
y
installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin
y
is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
NOTE
If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left
y
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 of time, remove all food and unplug
y
the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
CAUTION
Do not store food with high moisture content toward the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could
y
come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food
y
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
y
vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.
If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator
y
and raise its temperature. It can also increase the cost to run the appliance.
Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or
y
personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
The temperature inside the FRESHSteel Container is slightly lower than in the shelf or door bin area.

ENGLISH
Food Storage Tips
The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
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.
Food How to
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 coldest
milk, place containers on
interior shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on
interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or hull the fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort
and keep fruit in its original
container, in a crisper, or store
in a completely 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 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 Store fresh fish and shellfish
in the freezer section if they
are not being consumed the
same day of purchase. It is
recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil, or store in
plastic containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
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 lbs. 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
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook
for further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
37
HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
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
y
lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
y
bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator are adjustable
to meet individual storage needs. Your model
may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different
heights will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Assembling the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the rear
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or food
spilling.

cycle.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature of
each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30
minutes and confirm the proper temperature
has been restored once the defrost cycle has
completed.
Refrigerator was recently
installed.
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.
Refrigerator was recently
relocated.
If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of
time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the
refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before
connecting it to power.

Cooling system
runs too much.
Refrigerator is replacing an
older model.
Modern refrigerators require more operating
time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.
Refrigerator was recently
plugged in or power restored.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
Door opened often or a large
amount of food / hot food was
added.
Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back
down. 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. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
Doors are not closed
completely.
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all
the way, see the Doors will not close completely
or pop open section in Troubleshooting.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot
location.
The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F)
expect your compressor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator
should not be operated above 110°F.
Condenser / back cover is
clogged.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area. Unplug the cord or switch off the breaker

Pression de l’eau
La pression d’eau doit être comprise entre 1,38 et
8,27 bars sur les modèles non équipés d’un filtre
à eau et entre 2,76 et 8,27 bars sur les modèles
équipés d’un filtre à eau.
Si un système de filtration d’eau par osmose
inverse est connecté à votre alimentation d’eau
froide, cette installation de canalisation d’eau
n’est pas couverte par la garantie du réfrigérateur.
Respectez attentivement les instructions pour
minimiser le risque de dégâts des eaux onéreux.
Si un système de filtration d’eau par osmose
inverse est connecté à votre alimentation en eau
froide, la pression d’eau au niveau du système par
osmose inverse doit être comprise au minimum
entre 2,76 et 4,14 bars (40~60 psi), soit moins de
2 à 3 secondes pour remplir une tasse de 20 cl.
Si la pression d’eau depuis le système par
osmose inverse est inférieure à 1,38 bar (20 psi),
soit plus de 4 secondes pour remplir une tasse de
20 cl, procédez comme suit.
Vérifiez pour voir si le filtre à sédiments dans
y
le système d’osmose inverse est bloqué.
Remplacez le filtre si nécessaire.
Laissez le réservoir sur le système par
y
osmose inverse se remplir de nouveau après
une utilisation intense.
Si le problème concernant la pression de

conformes aux exigences du code de
plomberie local.
Ce dont vous aurez besoin
Tuyaux en cuivre,
y ¼ po. diamètre extérieur,
pour relier le réfrigérateur à
la prise d’eau. Veillez à ce
que les deux extrémités des
tuyaux soient coupées au
carré.
Pour déterminer de combien de tuyaux vous
y
avez besoin : mesurez la distance de la vanne
d’eau à l’arrière du réfrigérateur au tuyau
d’alimentation d’eau. Ensuite, ajoutez 8 pieds
(2,4m). Assurez-vous que vous disposez de
suffisamment de tuyaux supplémentaires
(environ 8 pieds [2,4 m] enroulés en 3 tours
d’environ 10 po. [25 cm] diamètre) pour
permettre au réfrigérateur d’être retiré du
mur après l’installation.

Deux boulons de
y
compression de diamètre extérieur ¼ “ et 2
ferrules (mancheons) pour connecter le tube en
cuivre à la vanne d’arrêt et à la vanne d’eau
du réfrigérateur.
REMARQUE
Une vanne d’eau à étrier auto-perceuse
ne devrait pas être utilisée.
Si votre canalisation en cuivre existante a
y
un raccord évasé à l’extrémité, vous aurez
besoin d’un adaptateur (disponible dans les
magasins de fournitures de plomberie) pour
connecter la ligne d’eau au réfrigérateur
OU BIEN vous pouvez
couper la coupe évasée
avec un découpeur de
tube et puis utiliser un
raccord de compression.
Connecter
yla vanne d’arrêt à la ligne d’eau
froide. La vanne d’arrêt doit avoir une prise
d’eau avec un diamètre intérieur minimal de
5/32 po. au point de connexion à la LIGNE
D’EAU FROIDE. Les vannes d’arrêt à étrier
sont comprises dans
beaucoup de kits
d’approvisionnement
d’eau. Avant de
l’acheter, assurez-vous
qu’une vanne à étrier est conforme aux
codes de plomberie locaux.

REMARQUE
La ligne de raccordement ne peut pas
être composée de tubes en plastique
blancs. Les plombiers agréés ne doivent
utiliser que des tuyaux en cuivre NDA
n° 49595 ou 49599 ou des tuyaux en
polyéthylène réticulés (PEX).
Instructions d’installation de la ligne d’eau
Installer la vanne d’arrêt sur la fréquence la
plus proche en utilisant la ligne d’eau potable.
1 FERMER LA PRISE D’EAU PRINCIPALE
Ouvrir le robinet le plus proche pour
soulager la pression sur la ligne.
2
CHOISIR L’EMPLACEMENT DE LA VANNE
Choisir un emplacement
pour la vanne qui soit
facilement accessible. Il
est préférable de la relier
sur le côté d’un tuyau
d’eau vertical. Lorsqu’il
est nécessaire de la relier
à un tuyau d’eau horizontal, réalisez la
connexion sur le haut ou sur le côté, plutôt
que sur le bas, pour éviter de recevoir des
sédiments du tuyau d’eau.
3 PERCER LE TROU POUR LA VANNE
Percer un trou de ¼
“ dans le tuyau d’eau
en utilisant une pièce
pointue. Enlevez toutes
les bavures résultant
de forage du trou dans
le tuyau. Faites attention à ne pas laisser
l’eau drainer par le trou. Le défaut de
percer un trou de ¼ “ peut entraîner une
production de glace réduite ou des glaçons
plus petits.
AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil
électrique (comme une perceuse
électrique) lors de l’installation,
assurez-vous que le dispositif soit
alimenté par batterie, ait une double
isolation ou soit mis à la terre d’une
manière qui permettra d’éviter le
risque de choc électrique.
5 RESSERRER LA BRIDE DE SERRAGE
Serrer les vis du jusqu’à ce que la rondelle
de fermeture commence à enfler.

froide et le réfrigérateur.
Faire passer le tuyau par un trou percé
dans le mur ou le plancher (derrière
le réfrigérateur ou armoire de cuisine
adjacente), aussi près que possible du mur.
REMARQUE
Assurez-vous qu’il y ait assez de tuyaux
supplémentaires (environ 8 pieds
enroulés en 3 tours d’environ 10 cm de
diamètre) pour permettre de décoller
le réfrigérateur du mur après son
installation.
