• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• A location that allows sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs are in the up position (above the floor). Refer to 'Adjusting the Level' in the manual (on page 15).
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.
| Model | RF220** / RF221** |
|---|---|
| Depth "A" | 34 3/4" (884 mm) |
| Width "B" | 29 3/4" (758 mm) |
| Height "C" | 65 1/4" (1655 mm) |
| Overall Height "D" | 66 3/4" (1695 mm) |
| Depth "E" | 37 1/4" (944 mm) |
The measurements here are based on the design dimension, which may differ depending on the measuring method.
For proper installation, you must place this refrigerator on a level, hard surface that is the same height as the rest of the floor. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 286.6 lbs (130 kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, you need to pull and push it straight forwards or back. Do not wiggle it from side to side.
The following accessories are included with your refrigerator:
Required Tools (Not provided):
You need the following tools to complete the installation of your refrigerator:
Before removing the door/drawer, make sure you read the following items:
Disconnect power to the refrigerator before removing the door or drawer.
Be careful not to drop, damage or scratch the door/drawer while removing them. Be careful not to get injured while removing the door/drawer. Reattach the door/drawer properly to avoid: Moisture from air leakage. Uneven door alignment. Wasting energy due to improper door seal.
Be careful not to drop and scratch the doors while removing the doors.
Caution: Be careful not to scratch or dent the sliding rail by letting it strike the floor. Make sure that you mount the freezer basket in the right position when removing / installing the freezer door. Failing to do so may result in the door not opening or closing properly.
Make sure the refrigerator is level before performing any final adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level from side to side and from front to back. If the refrigerator is not level, the doors will not be perfectly aligned, which can cause moisture condensation and higher energy bills. The following instructions explain how to level the refrigerator when the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right side.
Caution: Both control levers must be touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.
Note: If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever. It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.
Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.
Note: The left door is fixed. To make minor adjustments between doors, adjust only the right door.

IMPORTANT :
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
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 (276 to 414 kPa.) If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Using the Water dispenser (RF221**)
Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out.
If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water filter, Flush 11 L through filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure water flows cleanly before drinking.
Caution: If you have a long vacation or business trip, close the water valve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages.

Wipe the control panel and digital display with a damp, clean, soft cloth. Do not spray water directly on the surface of the refrigerator. The doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, polish the exterior once or twice a year.

PROBLEM |
SOLUTION |
| The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently. |
• Check if the power plug is properly connected. • Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder. • Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source? • Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? |
| The food in the fridge is frozen. |
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low. • Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature. • Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer. • Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins. |
| You hear unusual noise or sounds. |
• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable. • Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall. • Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator? • A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior. • If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity. |
| The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring. |
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation. • Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time. |
| Ice Maker is not producing ice. |
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice? • Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? • Did you manually stop the ice making function? • Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower. |
| You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator. | • This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator. |
| There is a bad smell in the refrigerator. |
• Check for spoiled food. • Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered. • Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food. |
| Frost forms on the walls of the freezer. |
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely. • Allow sufficient space between the stored foods for efficient air circulation. • Is the freezer drawer closed properly? |
| Water dispenser is not functioning. |
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? • Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? • Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction. • Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display |
| Auto close system does not work with the freezer door. |
• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door? • Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again. • Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right and the left part of the door. |
