All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury

and tell you what can happed if the instructions are not followed.

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.

I DANGER

Risk of child

entrapment

CFC DISPOSAL

• 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."

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".

BEFOREYOUTHROWAWAYYOUROLDREFRIGERATORORFREEZER

•Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

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.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

lore use

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 three-

prong 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.

Feed water tube installation

•Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~121psi(ib/inch z) {That

is, a 7o= paper cup will be filled within 3 sec.).

• If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(Ib/inch 2) or below, it is necessary

to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and coo]

water feed.

• Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 40 feet and be careful not to

bend or kink the tube. if the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water

dispenser will not operate properly.

• Install the water feed tube at a place free from heat.

[ Cautions

Shelf Height

Adjustment

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 passagemay 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 glassor crockeryto collect ice.

Such glasses or containers may break.

Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.

Water may be splashedif ice is added to existing liquidin a glass.

Keepyour 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 nearthe icemaker, causing the icemaker to misread the bin

level and stop producing ice.

If discolored ice or water is dispensed,contact an Authorized servicecenter

immediately and discontinue use until the problem is corrected,

Never use too narrow or shallow glass.

Ice may bejammed in ice passageand, thus, the ice maker may fail.

Keep the glassat a proper distance from ice outlet.

A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.

Shelf

The refrigerator compartment shelf is adjustable so that you can place it at a height

according to space requirement of foods.

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 leadto 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. Openingthe door lets warm airenter the refrigerator,

and cause temperatures to rise.

General Information

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator

in operation. Place freezable items in 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.

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your

refrigerator temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.

To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them allthe way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especiallyjust

after installation.

Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot

refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.

Cleaning

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled

food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if

allowed to settle.

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your

refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Regular cleaning is recommended, Wash all compartments with a baking soda

solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinseand dry. If you use other substances

for cleaning,your refrigerator could be damaged.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or

power plug is well inserted into the power socket.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of

electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from

getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock,

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline

solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.

Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick

or adhere to extremely cold surfaces,
