BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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
WARNING
CAUTION
You might be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
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.
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.

IMPORIANISAFELYINFORMAIION
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.
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.
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.

IMPORIANTSAFELYINFORMATION
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
&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.
f
t
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 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.
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 saddle-type 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 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.
16
INSIA//AIION
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the water
line, unplug the refrigeratoror 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 drainwater from the linein 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 refrigeratorfor 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 inthe 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 inthe 1/4-in.
drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is underthe
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. Flushout the tubing
until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

HOW|0 USE
SETTING THE CONTROLS
OTEMPERATURE OALARM
e
Your refrigerator has a control pad inside
the refrigerator compartment that lets 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 these settings for 24 hours (one day)
to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment
temperature as desired.
Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F to 46°F
(o°c to 8°0)
The lower the number setting, the colder the
refrigerator compartment will become.
Freezer Temp 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.

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
Anewly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice.
f
Automatic Power Switch
Shut off Arm
J
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle-
approximately 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.
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 the
highest position returns the indicator to the 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.

HOW|0 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 inthe freezer
compartment; glass may break when the contents
are frozen.
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.
Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer.
The egg box will break easily if it freezes.
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.

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

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.
