WARNING
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
• B e sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the
refrigerator - Be sure to turn up the wheel first before
moving the refrigerator, Otherwise, the parts can collide
and break each other.
• D O NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while
the refrigerator is plugged in.
• D O 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
39°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 eating 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.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).
WARNING
: The use of this appliance can expose you to chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 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 that 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, the use of an extension cord is not
recommended. 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 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed
for the back of the refrigerator.
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.

accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves,
etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to
prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three
hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your
refrigerator is now ready for use.
INSTALLATION
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 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.
WARNING
Shock Hazard:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the
refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
INSTALLATION (continued)
1. To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and
installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust
the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the
floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by
tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left
to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and
door AlIgnment.)
N OTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform
or weakly supported structure is not recommended.
2. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is
between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature
around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may
be adversely affected.
3. Select a place where a water supply can be easily
connected for the automatic icemaker.
N OTE: 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.
4. For sufficient door opening clearance, allow at least 4
inches between each side of the refrigerator and an
adjacent wall or surface.
5. Too small of a distance from adjacent surfaces may result
in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity
consumption charges. Provide the following unobstructed
clearance for sufficient air flow around the refrigerator:
- At least 2 inches between refrigerator back and wall.
- At least 2 inches between refrigerator top and overhead
surface.

How to use the Automatic Icemaker
The dispenser icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle. The
freezer icemaker will produce 7 cubes per cycle.
• T he dispenser icemaker will produce approximately
216 - 288 cubes (20 - 24 cycles a day) in a 24 hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door opening and other user
conditions.
• T he freezer icemaker will produce 50 to 70 ice cubes in a
24 hour period depending on the same conditions listed
above.
• I t is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds when
the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin
• To prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice cube
storage bin.
• If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sufficient, the
ice may not be dispensed. Wait a day or so to make more
ice.
• I f the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser
outlet is not blocked.
• T hrow away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the level of the
optical sensor space at the dispenser icemaker base or the
shutoff arm of the freezer icemaker.
Optical Sensor Space
Freezer Icemaker
(model WRFS26S... only)
Dispenser Icemaker
Icemaking will stop when the dispenser ice bin fills to the
level of the optical sensor, or when the freezer ice bin fills and
pushes the shutoff arm all the way up.
Clear the bin of of excessive ice. If you remove bin for
clearing, return bin correctly into place. Icemaking will resume
after the ice bin is cleared to below the optical sensor in the
dispenser icemaker, or cleared to allow the shutoff arm to
lower in the freezer icemaker.
It is normal for several ice cubes to be joined together. If ice
is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become shrunken,
cloudy and taste stale. If you won't use ice frequently, shut
icemaking off.

hot.
• Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
Heat surface to prevent moisture forming on it.
HeatDoors 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.
Heat
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.
