Food Storage Tips
 |
Wash food before storing. | |
 |
Divide and separate food into smaller pieces. | |
 |
Place watery food or food with a lot of moisture in front shelves (close to door side). If they are placed close to the cold air spout, they can be frozen. | |
 |
Warm or hot food should be cooled down enough before storing to reduce power consumption and to enhance refrigeration performance. | |
 |
Be careful in storing tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples and tomatoes, as they can easily deteriorate in lower temperatures. | |
 |
Keep enough space between the foods. If too tight or too close, cold air circulation is hindered, resulting in poor refrigeration. | |
 |
Never forget to cover or wrap food to prevent odours. |
Icemaker
In case the icemaker doesn’t work
If the ice maker doesn’t work, check the following:
● Has it been less than 12 hours since the water supply line installation?
● 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.
In case of power failure
In the event of a lengthy power failure, remove ice cubes from the storage bin as the ice may melt.
Shutting down the ice maker
Important! If you do not intend to use any ice cubes for longer than one week (e.g. because you are going on holiday), shut down the ice maker for that period in order to prevent ice cubes from freezing together.
1. Press the On/Off button for 5 seconds to turn the ice maker off (LED on)
2. Empty and clean the ice cube bin.
3. Return the ice cube bin into position.
Reactivating the ice maker:
Press the button for 5 seconds to turn the ice maker on (LED off)
Automatic Icemaker
Caution
● The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
● Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
● Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the ice maker if the containers burst.
● If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
● To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice maker.
When to set icemaker to off
● When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
● When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes.
● When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker ON/OFF button is turned to the OFF mode.
Preparing for vacation
Set the icemaker ON/OFF button to OFF and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker ON/OFF button is turned OFF.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
How to use the automatic icemaker
The ice maker will produce 10 cubes per cycle approximately 60 to 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of times freezer door is opened, and other use conditions.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the ice maker feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker will stop producing ice.
After the ice maker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the ice maker resumes operation.
When ice dispenses, it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not dispensed on a regular basis, old ice cubes will discolor and shrink. If you won’t be using ice on a regular basis, turn the ice maker off.

Problem It never gets cold inside. Freezing & refrigerating is not so good. |
Checkup Point
❶ Is the refrigerator unplugged?
❷ Is the temperature set to [Low Mode]?
❸ Is the refrigerator under direct sunlight or is a heat appliance placed near it?
❹ Is the space between the refrigerator back and the wall too close?
Action
❶ Plug in the refrigerator.
❷ Set the temperature mode to Middle or High.
❸ Move to a place where there is no direct sunlight, no heat appliances around.
❹ Keep sufficient space (more than 2inches) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
 |
Problem Foods in the refrigerator get frozen. |
Checkup Point
❶ Is temperature set to [High]?
❷ Is the room temperature too low?
❸ Is food with moisture stored close to the cold air spout?
Action
❶ Set the temperature to [Middle] or [Low].
❷ Food can be frozen if ambient temperature is below 5 . ℃ Move to a place where the temperature is over 5 .℃
❸ Place food with moisture on the shelves close to the doors.
 |
Problem Strange sounds from the refrigerator. |
Checkup Point
❶ Is the floor beneath the refrigerator uneven?
❷ Is the space between refrigerator back and the wall too close?
❸ Do any objects or other stuff touch the refrigerator?
Action
❶ Move the refrigerator to a level and even floor.
❷ Keep sufficient space.
❸ Remove any object which touches the refrigerator.
 |
Problem Odour or unpleasant smell from the inside. |
Checkup Point
❶ Is the food stored uncovered or unwrapped?
❷ Are the shelves and pockets stained with food stuff?
❸ Is the food stored too long?
Action
❶ Be sure to cover and wrap the food.
❷ Clean them regularly. Once smell gets soaked into those parts, it is not easy to remove.
❸ Do not store food for too long. A refrigerator is neither a perfect nor a permanent food keeper.
Something strange? Don’t worry. Here is the answer.
| Case | Explanation | ||
| Heat | Front and side of refrigerator feels warm or hot. |  |
● Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the surface to prevent moisture forming on it. |
| Door is sticky | Doors do not open easily. |  |
● When you close the door and then open again immediately, the door is not easy to open because warm air rushes in and creates the pressure difference. In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily. |
| Strange Sound See other models: CFRR255WD1S CMH16M1W CTMR180M1W CUF21M1W CUF17M1W |
It sounds like water is flowing from the refrigerator. |  |
● When the compressor starts to run or stop, refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the pipes can make such a sound. ● Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.) |
| Cracking or clicking sounds. |  |
● Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature change --- When the inside gets cold or when the door is open, such sounds can be made. | |
| Humming or buzzing sounds. | ● Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level, the sound can be louder.) | ||
| Frost & Dew | Dew or frost on the wall and/or food container surface in the freezer and refrigerator compartment. |  |
Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases; ● High temperature and/or high humidity around the refrigerator. ● When doors are open too long. ● Food with much moisture are stored uncovered or unwrapped. ※You can see the same appearance when cold water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming on the surface of it. |
| Dew on the cabinet surface. | ● If it is highly humid around the refrigerator, moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form dew. | ||
Installation Preparation
Check if the refrigerator can pass a doorway or enter a door first.
Dimensions (including Door Handles)
(Width*Depth*Height) 906 mm x 735 mm x 1,770 mm
Find a suitable place to install
Sufficient space from the back of the refrigerator to the wall for free air ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight.
● Once the installation place is ready, follow the installation instructions. If the surrounding temperature of refrigerator is low (below 5℃), food can be frozen or the refrigerator can function abnormally.
If the refrigerator can not pass through a door during installation, follow these steps.

How to install water line
Before you begin
This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hamme
Caution To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker is turned OFF at the control panel.
Caution Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
Water pressure
The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm2. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure “below 30 psi”, you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
