BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
,_ This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill
or hurt you or others or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety
alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
&CAUTION
You might be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
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 immediately 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 the power cord.
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 the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any repairs.
NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
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: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to the desired setting.
This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the 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 modify or extend the power cord length.
It will cause electric shock or fire.

IMPORIAN!SAFELYINFORMATION
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
DO not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to remove odor.
Install in places away from the fire such as the place
where flammable gas is leaked.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
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°F (4°C).
...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
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.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
Take off the doors.
Do not leave the shelves
in place, as children may
climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 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.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
&WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
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.
f
b
J
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual properly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 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.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
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
(USA), 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord having a grounding-type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 20 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
&WARNING
Connect to safe drinking water supply
only.
The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 p.s.i. (1.4~8.4 kgf/cm 2) on models without
a water filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i.
(3~8.5 kgf/cm 2)on models with a water filter.
If water pressure does not reach 20 psi
(1.4 kgf/cm _)or falls below, it is necessary to
purchase a separate pressure pump for normal
automatic icemaker and water dispensing operation.
It is recommended that the total length of the water
feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m).
Install the water supply line where it will not be
affected by heat.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, This water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer. Follow next instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
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 (2.8 kgf/cm _~
4.2 kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of
7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi (1.4 kgf/cm _, more than
4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the
filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
If the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before
you begin.
If operating the refrigerator before installing the
water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF
position to prevent operation without water.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
It may take up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin
producing ice.
Tools Required
Standard screwdriver
7/16-in. and 1/2-in. open-end wrenches or two
adjustable wrenches
1/4-in. nut driver
1/4-in. drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1/4-in.
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with local plumbing codes.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-in. saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to.
Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
Cold Water Supply
The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer
which is used as a water pressure regulator.
The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water
line with water pressure between 20~120 psi
(1.4~8.4 kgf/cm 2)on models without a water filter
and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5 kgf/cm 2)on
models with a water filter.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the water
line, unplug the refrigeratoror disconnect the power.
Turn off the main water supply and open the nearest
faucet to relieve pressure in the line. Opening an outside
faucet may help drain water from the line in the house.
Find a 1/2-in.vertical COLD water pipe near the
refrigerator.
NOTE: A horizontal pipe will work, but the following
precaution must be taken: drillon the top of the pipe, not
the bottom.This will help keep water away from the drill
and also keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for
moving the refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-in. O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
the copper tubing are cut square.
Using a drill, drill a 1/4-in.hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
Fastenthe shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-in.
drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut.Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully and evenly so the washer makes
a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing,
especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you
are ready to connect the copper tubing.
Slip the compression sleeve and the compression nut
onto the copper tubing as shown. Insertthe end of the
tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go.
Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with a
wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end
wrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.
Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,
and turn on the main water supply. Flushout the tubing
until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

&WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Be careful when you work with the hinges,
base grille, and stopper. You may be injured.
Do not put hands, feet, or metal items into
the air vents, base grille, or the bottom of the
refrigerator. You may be injured or receive
an electrical shock.
Leveling
After installing, secure the product with the LEGS
so it does not move to the right or left.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front to back or side to
side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:
%
Kick Plate
Plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded
outlet, and move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the kick plate screws and
then the kick plate.
Open the Freezer Drawer.
Once the drawer is open, there is sufficient
clearance to remove the screws on top of
the kick plate.
NOTE: To replace the kick plate, place it into
position, and then insert and tighten the
screws.
&CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or product or property
damage, you will need two people to perform the
following instructions.
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/32 inch
(8mm), 11/16 inch (18mm) wrench or a flat
blade screw driver.
Turn the leveling legs (CCW) to raise or (CW)
to lower the height of the front of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be
slightly higher than the back.
NOTE: If someone pushes backward against
the top of the refrigerator, weight is lifted off of
the leveling legs, which makes adjustment
easier.
Open both doors to make sure they close
easily. If not, raise the leveling legs higher by
turning both clockwise the same amount.
Once the refrigerator is level, replace the kick-
plate.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely
designed with two fresh food doors. Either
door can be independently opened or closed.
You will have to exert slight pressure on the
doors to close them completely.
NOTE: In order not to move the refrigerator
back and forth, fix it with the 'Adjust' to the
floor to install and use.

HOW113USE
SPACEPLUS ICE SYSTEM
&CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment
door and dispenser chute. You could break
something or injure yourself.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice bin
is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the
extra ice bin in the freezer compartment so the
icemaker can keep producing ice.
Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it.
Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker,
causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the
ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air
in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator
compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to
not produce ice.
NOTE: If the On/Off switch on the icemaker is set to
Off for an extended time, the ice compartment will
gradually warm up to the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS
empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to Off for
more than a few hours.
&CAUTION
While you handle the ice bin,
keep your hands out of blade.
The blade has sharp edges
could cause injury.
NOTE: To open or close the ice
room compartment, push or pull on
the handle.
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front
handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly
pull out the bin as shown.
To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant
the bin during replacement to avoid contact
with the icemaker.
NOTE: Avoid touching the Ice-detecting sensor
when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.

ttOW113USE
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to
the dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make
12 ice cubes at a time, above 100 cubes per 24-hour
period. This quantity may vary by circumstance,
including freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings, freezer load,
and other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the
icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the
automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be 20 and 120psi on
models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter to make normal
amount and size of ices.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when
ice drops into the ice storage bin.
Even when the water pipe is not connected and
the Ice Maker is turned on, the water valve
operates. The noise is generated because the
water pipe is not connected, which does not
mean the icemaker is defective.
&WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.

&CAUTION
The first ice and water may include particles or
odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about
20 pieces) and purge the water line for 2 minutes
after installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not
been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other foods in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the
containers may burst.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water
filter and water supply. If the problem continues,
contact an Authorized Service Center. Do not
use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser.
The ice passage may also become blocked
with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove
the frost that accumulates.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such glasses or containers may
break, and glass fragments could be in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with
water or other beverages. Splashing may occur
if ice is dispensed into a glass that already
contains liquid.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow
or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and
refrigerator performance may be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the
ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet
may prevent ice from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of
the ice door and passage.
Never remove the dispenser cover.
If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact an Authorized
Service Center. Call USA 1-800-243-0000

HOW10 USE
STORING FOODS
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.
How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
Do not store food that spoils easily, such as
bananas and melons, at low temperatures.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot
food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and
lead to higher energy consumption.
When storing 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 flavor and
nutrition.
Do not block air vents with food or containers.
Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the
refrigerator temperatures even.
Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the
doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, which causes temperatures
to rise.
Never overload the door racks; overloading may
push against the inner racks and prevent the doors
from closing correctly.
Freezer compartment
Do not store glass bottles inthe freezer
compartment; glass may break when the contents
are frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed.
This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.
Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially
those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass
products in the freezer compartment.
Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer.
The egg box will break easily if it freezes.
Refrigerator compartment
Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator
shelves; it could freeze from direct contact with
chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped
and packed food should be wiped to prevent
adjacent food from spoiling.
NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid
place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of
vegetables in the refrigerator may cause
condensation to form. Wipe the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
&WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about
once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
Unplug the refrigerator.
Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and
crispers.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners.
Hand wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry all surfaces.
Plug in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids can scratch or damage plastic
covers or panels.
Cleaning the Exterior
For models with a stainless steel exterior, use a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
You may also use a clean sponge or soft cloth and
a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts such as door
liners or gaskets.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
NOTE: Allow the freezer to warm so the cleaning
cloth will not stick.
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and
warm water. Mix 2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. of water
(26 g soda to 1 L of water). Be sure the baking soda
dissolves completely so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a spray nozzle to clean
the interior.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Storage
During average-length vacations, you will
probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in
operation. Place freezable items in the 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.
Power Failure
Most power failures that are corrected within an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
Water may drip from the ice bin during a power
outage. To prevent this, remove the ice bin, discard
all of the ice, towel dry, and replace.
Moving
Unload the refrigerator to move it. (This is probably
not necessary when pulling it out to clean behind it.)
Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room
temperature, and dry the inside before closing the
doors to pack it for moving. To avoid damaging the
height-adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the
base.

position is on. If it is off, please flip it to the on
position.
Foreign substance or frost on thelce-detecting
sensor stops making ices. To keep making ice,
clean up the surface of Ice-detecting sensor with
clean and soft fabric.
Below -1°F is recommended temperature setting
of the freezer compartment for normal ice
production. If the freezer temperature is set at a
warmer temperature, then the ice will produce at a
slower rate.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, the cold
air wilt escape which will prevent the unit from
maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the
temperature can help, as well as not opening the
doors as frequently.
The door that is not closed properly, makes the
Freezer temperature high and icemaker wilt make
ices slowly.
The compartment door, that is not closed properly,
make the compartment temperature high and
icemaker makes ices slowly.
With this option, the cold air in the compartment is

them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for
ice cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are,
break up the ice cubes by removing the bin and
breaking them up or shaking the bin to separate
them.
Sure the ice bin is firmly in position.
