• The surface of the installation location must support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• To protect the floor, put a large piece of cardboard under each leg of the refrigerator when you move it for installation.
• To protect the floor once the refrigerator is in its final position, do not move it unless necessary. If you have to move it, place thick paper or cloth such as an old carpet, along the movement path.

• To adjust the height of the freezer side: Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the freezer-side rear leg. Turn the leveller clockwise to raise the refrigerator. Turn it counterclockwise to lower.
• To adjust the height of the fridge side: Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the fridge-side rear leg. Turn the leveller clockwise to raise the refrigerator. Turn it counterclockwise to lower.

Power Freeze lowers the freezer temperature and speeds up the freezing process. In Power Freeze mode, the freezer runs at full power for several hours and then returns to normal operation and the previous temperature setting.

• To activate Power Freeze, press and hold Freezer for 3 seconds. The corresponding indicator ( ) lights up, and the refrigerator speeds up the freezing process for you.
• To deactivate, press and hold Freezer for 3 seconds again. Power Freeze shuts off and the freezer returns to the previous temperature setting.
• To freeze large amounts of food, activate Power Freeze at least 20 hours before putting food in the freezer.

You can use the Fridge button to set the fridge temperature or to activate/deactivate Power Cool.

To set the fridge temperature, press Fridge repeatedly to select a desired temperature between 34 °F (1 °C) and 44 °F (7 °C). The temperature indicator displays the currently set or selected temperature.

The Power Cool function lowers the fridge temperature and speeds up the cooling process. In the Power Cool mode, the fridge runs at full power for several hours and then returns to normal operation and the previous temperature setting. Use Power Cool to rapidly cool food that spoils quickly or to rapidly cool the refrigerator after the door has been left open for some time.

To start Power Cool, press and hold Fridge for 3 seconds. The Power Cool icon lights and the refrigerator speeds up the cooling process. To deactivate, press and hold Fridge for 3 seconds again. Power Cool turns off and the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature setting.

You can use the Door Alarm button to switch the temperature scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

To switch the temperature scale, press and hold Door Alarm for 3 seconds.

To prevent accidental setting changes, press and hold Control Lock for 3 seconds. All controls will be disabled and the Lock indicator ( ) will turn on.

When Control Lock is on, the refrigerator does not dispense ice or water, even if the Dispenser Lever is pressed.

To disable ice making, press and hold Ice Maker Off for 3 seconds.

In this mode, ice making is disabled even if you press Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice. To turn ice making back on, press and hold Ice Maker Off again for 3 seconds.

Press Crushed Ice to dispense Crushed Ice. The corresponding indicator turns on.

After about 6 months of using the original water filter (which typically amounts to about 320 gallons (1200 liters) of water), the Filter indicator blinks red to remind you that the filter needs to be replaced.

When this happens, replace the filter, and then press and hold Crushed Ice for 3 seconds. This resets the filter lifecycle detector and turns off the Filter indicator.

NOTE

• Some areas have relatively large amounts of lime in their water. This may reduce the lifecycle of the filter. In these areas, you will have to replace the water filter more often than specified above.
• If water is not dispensing properly, the water filter is most likely clogged. Even if the Filter indicator is not blinking, replace the water filter.

Cooling Off mode (also called Shop mode), is designed for use by retailers when they are displaying refrigerators on the shop floor. In Cooling Off mode, the refrigerator’s fan motor and lights operate normally, but the compressors do not run so that neither the refrigerator or the freezer run the cooling process.

To enter Cooling Off mode, press and hold Fridge, Freezer, and Door Alarm for 5 seconds. The refrigerator chime sounds with the message of "OFF" on the temperature panel.

To exit, press and hold again for 5 seconds.

1. To remove the ice maker bucket, gently lift it up, and then pull it out slowly while holding the bottom of the bucket with one hand and the side with the other hand.
2. Lift up and pull the bucket out. Empty the bucket.
3. When done, put the bucket back into position. If the bucket does not fit in, turn the helix screw 90 degrees, and then try again.

• Make sure the power cord is connected properly.
• Make sure the temperature control is set correctly. Try setting to a lower temperature.
• Make sure the refrigerator is not being exposed to direct sunlight and is not near a heat source. Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.
• Make sure the refrigerator is far enough away from rear walls, side walls, or cabinets to allow proper ventilation. Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.
• Too much food can block the internal ventilation of the refrigerator. To keep the refrigerator operating normally, do not put too much food inside.

• Check if the temperature control is set to the lowest temperature. If so, change to a higher temperature.
• This can happen if the ambient room temperature is too low. Set the room temperature higher.
• Check if food containing a high proportion of water has been put in the coldest area of the fridge or near the cooling vent. If so, move the food to other shelves in the fridge.

• Make sure the refrigerator is installed on a stable, flat surface.
• Make sure the refrigerator is far enough away from rear walls, side walls, and cabinets to allow proper ventilation.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects (coins, keys, cutlery, etc.) inside or underneath the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator may produce a ticking sound from inside. This occurs when the various accessories contract or expand as the temperature inside changes. This is normal.

• To prevent condensation from forming, the refrigerator has heat-proof piping in the front corners. If the ambient temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively. This is not a system failure.
• Make sure the door is closed properly. Condensation may form if you leave the door open for an extended period of time.
• Condensation may form on the exterior surface of the refrigerator if humid air comes into contact with the cool surface of the refrigerator.

• If you have used all the ice in the ice bucket, you must wait for 12 hours for the refrigerator to make more ice.
• See if the Ice Maker Off icon is lit. If it is, press and hold Ice Maker Off for 3 seconds.
• Make sure the freezer is set below 32 °F (0 °C) (or 23 °F (-5 °C) in warm ambient air).
• Make sure the water tank is filled with water.
• Check if the ice bucket contains ice clumps. If it does, empty the ice bucket and try again.

• Check if the water tank is frozen. If so, select a higher fridge temperature.
• Make sure the water tank is filled with water.
• Make sure the water tank is installed properly.
• Make sure the water filter is installed properly.

• This is normal. The bubbling sound comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

• Check for any spoiled food. We recommend cleaning the refrigerator on a regular basis and removing any spoiled or suspect food items.
• Make sure strong smelling food is wrapped tightly or stored in air tight containers.

• Make sure no food blocks the vents of the refrigerator. It is also important to arrange food items evenly for ventilation.
• Make sure the door is closed properly

• This happens when food containing a high proportion of water is stored uncovered, or the door has been left open for an extended period of time.
• Make sure food is covered or put in sealed containers.

• Push the water dispenser lever to check the water supply.
• Push the ice dispenser lever to check the operation of the auger motor in the ice maker assembly.
• Check if there are any objects obstructing the auger motor and preventing it from running. If found, remove the objects and clear the motor area.
• If the ice maker has not been used for an extended time, the ice bucket may contain ice chunks that obstruct the auger motor and prevent it from running properly. If this is the case, remove and empty the ice bucket.
