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 inmediately 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 it in any way.
• Do not crush or damage the water line.
• 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 refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themshelves.
• Keep fingers 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:
"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice
crystals or if they are still cold below 40 ° (4°C)._
"...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should
not be frozen 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."
I DANGER
Risk of child
entrapment
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".
BEFOREYOUTHROWAWAY
YOUROLDREFRIGERATOR
ORFREEZER
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
P
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs
(chlorofuorocarbons).
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.
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 collection center of waste material and can be reused
after rework (recycling). For take back, please contact with the local agency.

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 threeprong 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 groundind 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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

[ Cautions
Throw away the ice (about 20 pieces) and water (about 7 glasses) first made after
refrigerator installation.
This is also necessary when the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may play with or damage the controls.
Be careful that food does not block the ice passage.
If foods are placed at the entrance of ice passage,the
dispenser may malfunction. The passage may also become
blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the
frost that accumulates.
Storing cars or other items in the ice bin may damage
the icemaker or the container may burst.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockeryto collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break.
Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.
Water may be splashed if ice is added to existing liquid in a glass.
Keep your hands and tools out of the ice door and passage.
You might break something or injure yourself.
Never remove the ice maker cover.
Shake the ice bin occasionallyto level the ice in it.
Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker, causing the icemaker to misread the bin
level and stop producing ice.
If discolored ice or water is dispensed, contact an Authorized service center
immediately and discontinue use until the problem is corrected,
Never use too narrow or shallow glass.
Ice may bejammed in ice passage and, thus, the ice maker may fail.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.
Shelf
Shelf Height
Adjustment

Storing Foods
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food, which spoils easily, at low temperatures, such as bananas and
melons.
• 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 the 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 taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keep too much food in door rack because they may be pushed against the inner racks
and the door would not be fully closed.
Freezer
Compartment
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment- they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metal -, with wet
hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- That's why you may havechilblainsand they may be brokenwhen their inner matters
are frozen,causing personalinjury.
Refrigerator
Compartment
• Avoid placing moist food in 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.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
store them in an upright position, which keeps them flesh longer.
