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, sit or hang

on doors, drawers or shelves of 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.

IMPORIAN!SAFELYINFORMATION

BASic SAFETY PREcAUTiONS (cONT.)

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.

• Leave the shelves in place

so that children may not

easily climb inside.

f .......

, WARNING

Tip-over & Crush Hazard!

• Do not sit or climb on freezer

drawers. Freezer can tip over

and crush you.

Prevent Fails!

• Keep children away from

moving drawers. Stay back

when drawers are opening and

closing.

Moving parts can crush

and cut!

• Keep fingers away from front

and sides of moving drawers.

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.

IMPORIAN!SAFELYINFORMAIlON

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.

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.

INSIAllAIION

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

&WARNING

Connect to safe drinking water supply

only.

•The water pressure must be between 21 and

121 p.s.i. (1.5~8.5 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 21 psi

(1.5kgf/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.

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 21 ~121

psi (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm 2) on models without awater

filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5kgf/cm 2)

on models with a water filter.

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.

INSIAllAIION

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES (CONT.)

• 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. Insert the 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.

Tubing

Connection

• Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water

valve.

• Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing as shown.

• Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

connection as far as possible. While holding the

tubing, tighten the fitting.

IMPORTANT: Tighten any connections that leak.

Open the water at the shutoff valve.

• Plug in the refrigerator.

• Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the

refrigerator so it does not vibrate against the

back of the refrigerator or against the wall.

• Check for leaks.

• Before connecting the water line to house, purge

house line for 2 minute.

NOTE: It may take a few seconds for water to

begin to flow as the internal tank fills and air clears

from the lines.

• Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

• Set the icemaker switch to the ON position.

NOTE: The icemaker will not begin to operate until

it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C).

It will then begin operation automatically.

NOTE: Throw away the first few batches of ice

(about 20 pieces).

• Do not put hands, feet, or metal items into

the air vents, base grille, or the bottom of the

refrigerator. You may be injured or receive

an electrical shock.

Leveling

After installing, secure the product with the LEG

not to move left or right.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--

one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the

legs to alter the tilt from front to back or side to

side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you

want the doors to close more easily, adjust the

refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:

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.

&CAUTION

• To avoid possible injury or product or property

damage, you will need two people to perform the

following instructions.

Level the refrigerator by using an 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.

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 kick-

plate.

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.

ttOW10 USE

SPACEPLUS ICE SYSTEM

&CAUTION

•Keep hands and tools out of the ice bin door

and dispenser chute. You could break

something or injure yourself.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice bin

is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the

extra ice bin in the freezer compartment so the

icemaker can keep producing ice.

Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it.

Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker,

causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice

cubes and stop producing ice.

Push on the latch firmly where noted to close the

ice bin door; it will make a clicking sound when it

is closed completely.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may

damage the icemaker.

Keep the ice bin door closed tightly. If the ice bin 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 not produce ice.

NOTE: If the On/Off switch on the icemaker is set to

Off for an extended 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.

To remove the Spaceplus Ice System, grip the

front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly

pull out the bin as shown.

To reinstall the Spaceplus Ice System, slightly

slant the bin during replacement to avoid contact

with the icemaker.

Avoid touching the automatic shutoff arm when

replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice bin

door for details.

HOW113USE

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to

the dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 6

ice cubes at a time, 80-130 cubes per 24-hour

period. This quantity may vary by circumstance,

including freezer compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings, freezer load,

and other operating conditions.

• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed

refrigerator to make ice.

• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.

• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the

icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the

automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).

• The cube size will vary depending on the Water

Amount Selection Setting, as well as the water

pressure of the connected water line.

• You can regulate the cube size by pressing the

Water Amount Selection Button.

NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when

ice drops into the ice storage bin.

• Even when the water pipe is not connected and

the Ice Maker is turned on, the water valve

operates. The noise is generated because the

water pipe is not connected, which does not

mean the icemaker is defective.

&WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

• 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.

&CAUTION

• The first ice and water may include particles or

odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about

20 pieces) and purge the water line for 2 minutes

after installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.

• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not

been used for a long time.

• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the

ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.

Doing so may damage the icemaker or the

containers may burst.

• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water

filter and water supply. If the problem continues,

contact an Authorized Service Center. Do not

use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

• Keep children away from the dispenser.

Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser.

• The ice passage may also become blocked

with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove

the frost that accumulates.

• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

collect ice. Such glasses or containers may

break, and glass fragments could be in the ice.

• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with

water or other beverages. Splashing may occur

if ice is dispensed into a glass that already

contains liquid.

• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow

or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and

refrigerator performance may be affected.

• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the

ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet

may prevent ice from dispensing.

• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of

the ice door and passage.

• Never remove the icemaker cover.

• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,

turn off the water supply and contact an Authorized

Service Center. Call 1-800-243-0000 (24 hours

a day, 365 days a year) and select the option to

locate an authorized servicer. 29

HOW10 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.

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.

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.

CAREANDCLEANING

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

It is recommended that you replace the filter when

the water filter indicator reaches 0 or the water

dispenser or icemaker noticeably decreases

production.

11 I I

Rotate the knob of the old cartridge

counterclockwise. When the cartridge is

released, you will feel it click out of place.

NOTE: Replacing the filter causes a small

amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to
