BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains
safety messages.
,_

many important

safety messages.

Always

read and obey all

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, 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 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.

IMPORIANI
SAFELY
INFORMAIION
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
• DO not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to remove odor.
• Install in places away from the fire such as the place
where flammable gas is leaked.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• 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.

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.

4

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.
• Do not leave the shelves
in place, as children may
climb inside.

INFORMATION
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

IMPORTANT:

Please read carefully.
t

&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.

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.

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.

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.

to safe drinking

IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before
you begin.

water supply

• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 p.s.i. (1.4~8.4 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 20 psi
(1.4 kgf/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.
• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, This water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer. Follow next instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm _ ~
4.2 kgf/cm 2,less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of
7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi (1.4 kgf/cm _,more than
4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the
filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
• If the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

16

• 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)

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 20~120 psi
(1.4~8.4 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.

INSIA//AIION
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the water
line, unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
•Turn off the main water supply and open the nearest
faucet to relieve pressure in the line. Opening an outside
faucet may help drain water from the line in the house.
• Find a 1/2-in. vertical COLD water pipe near the
refrigerator.
NOTE: A horizontal pipe will work, but the following
precaution must be taken: drill on the top of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and
also keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
•To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for
moving the refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-in. O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of the
copper tubing are cut square.
•Using a drill, drill a 1/4-in. hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
• Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-in.
drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully and evenly so the washer makes a
watertight seal.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing,
especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you
are ready to connect the copper tubing.
•Slip the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto
the copper tubing as shown. Insertthe end of the tubing
into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the
compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare
nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will
suffice. Do not overtighten.
•Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,
and turn on the main water supply. Flush out the tubing
until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:
J

Level the refrigerator by using an 11/32 inch
(8mm), 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.

Kick Plate

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.

18

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.

HOW|0 USE
STORING FOODS
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.

Freezer

• How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.

• Do not store glass bottles in the freezer

• 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.

• 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

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.

Remove Shelf

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Storage

Power

Failure

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.

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.

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.

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.
