If you operature your refrigerator outside this range, it may not work correctly.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support when fully loaded.
• Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.
• If you use your refrigerator in a garage, make sure that the ambient temperature is between
55°F (12.8°C) and 109°F (43.3°C). 55°F (12.8°C) and 109°F (43.3°C).
• Position the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and direct sources of heat, such as a stove
heater, or radiator. Doing so may increase electrical consumption.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
Your refrigerator needs at least 0.5” (1.3cm) between it and the surrounding side walls,
at least 2” (5.1cm) between it and the back wall.
Once the refrigerator is placed in the final location,

Using your Appliance
1. Using Your Refrigerator Compartment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storage of vegetables and fruit. Food inside should
be packed to store in order to avoid losing moisture or flavor permeating into other foods.
Caution!
When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.
Temperatures inside each compartment may vary from the temperatures displayed on the panel,
depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low room temperature
may also affect the actual temperature inside the appliance.
Glass Shelves and Door Racks
The refrigerator compartment has two glass shelves and six door racks, which are designed
to store canned liquids, bottled drinks and packed food. They are removable for ease of
cleaning and for position adjustment.
To Relocate a Door Rack:
Remove all items from the rack, lift it, then
pull out of the door. Align the rack above the
notches in the door, then push the rack
down until it stops.
To Remove and Reinstall Glass Shelves:
Remove the shelf by gently pulling it forward
until it clears the shelf guides. To replace the
shelf, make sure that the area where the shelf
goes is obstacle-free, then gently push it back
into position.
Caution!
When you need to remove the refrigerator shelf, if the two side doors interfere with the shelf,
follow these steps:
1. Open the refrigerator
door by about 90° then
lift the door to the max
height to disengage
the Stop Block at the
bottom of the door

2. Keeping the refrigerator door raised,
open the door
to the maximum
angle.
3. Repeat this process on the other door.
NOTE: Doors will return to their original height when closed.

Drawers
The cripser drawers are designed to store fruits and vegetables. Placing these types of foods
inside the drawers help avoid moisture loss and prevents flavor from absorbing into other foods
.To Remove a Drawer:
Open the refrigerator door all the way. Pull the drawer completely open and move it slightly
toward the compartment wall. Then lift the drawer up and pull it out of the refrigerator.
2. Using the Cold Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is located inside the left side of the refrigerator compartment. Position
your glass about 1.5” under the dispenser and push the lever
with the glass.
Note:
•
Wait a few seconds after dispensing water to remove your glass to
prevent spills.
• •
Run water frequently to maintain a cold temperature. When first
using this function, the water may not cold enough. Wait for a short
time to ensure the appropriate temperature.
•
The water flowing through the filter is under increased pressure. When
water is dispensed, the pressure descreases, causing bubbles to form.
The water may look misty or cloudy temporarily. The bubbles will dissipate and the water
will clear after a few seconds.

•
• You have too much food in your refrigerator.
• You open and close the doors excessively.
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seal is normal
