BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
w 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:
wDANGER
You might be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wWARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wCAUTION
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.
wWARNING
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, sit or hang
on doors, drawers or shelves of 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.
4
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(CONT.)
• 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.
• Leave the shelves in place
so that children may not
easily 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.
wWARNING
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.
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
wWARNING
Connect to safe drinking water supply
only.
• The water pressure must be between 21 and
121 p.s.i. (1.5~8.5 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 21 psi
(1.5kgf/cm
2
) 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.
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 21~121 psi
(1.5~8.5 kgf/cm
2
) on models without a water filter
and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5kgf/cm
2
) on
models with a water filter.
18
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. 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
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in
the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure the device is double-
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer
diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much
tubing you need: measure the distance from the
water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the
water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m]
coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. on models without a
water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. on models
with a water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight- and Phillips-blade
screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter
compression nuts and 2
ferrules (sleeves) to connect
the copper tubing to the
shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing copper water
line has a flared fitting at the
end, you will need an adapter
(available at plumbing supply
stores) to connect the water
line to the refrigerator OR you
can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and
then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to
the cold water line. The
shutoff valve should have a
water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32" at
the point of connection to the
COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are
included in many water supply kits. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies
with your local plumbing codes.
19
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
(CONT.)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the
valve that is easily accessible.
It is best to connect into the
side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water
pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve) using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole
in the pipe. Take care not to
allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4"
hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller
cubes.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the
tubing.
6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10" diameter) to

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 LEG
not to move left or right.
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:
wCAUTION
• To avoid possible injury or product or property
damage, you will need two people to perform the
following instructions.
21
LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS
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.
1
Level the refrigerator by using an 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.

DOOR ALIGNMENT
STARTING
Before loading your refrigerator with fresh foods:
• Remove tape and any temporary labels from
your refrigerator before using. To remove any
remaining adhesive residue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb, or rub a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.
Wipe with warm water and dry. Do not use sharp
instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids,
or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
NOTE: Do not remove any warning-type labels,
the model and serial number label, or the tech
sheet that is taped to the back of the refrigerator.
• Thoroughly clean your refrigerator and wipe off all
dust that may have accumulated during shipping.
• Install accessories such as the ice cube bin,
drawers, and shelves, in their proper places.
They are packed together to prevent possible
damage during shipment.
• Adjust the desired temperature for the
refrigerator and freezer (see Adjusting the
Temperature and Functions).
• Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 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.
• With one hand, lift up the door you want to
raise at middle hinge.
• With other hand, use pliers to insert snap
ring as shown.
• Insert additional snap rings until the doors
are aligned.
(Three snap rings are provided with unit.)

23
ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections.
As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of
the freezer and circulates down.
From the bottom of the freezer, air is forced up to the
top of the refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through
the top vent, then circulates and exists at the bottom,
where it returns to the freezer.
MULTI-FLOW
• Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling
operation. This is especially noticeable when new
food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.
• If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent
while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In
addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be
lowered because of escaping cool air.
Do not block any of cool air vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
interrupted and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer
to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections
to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and
drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See
the Food Storage Guide section for details.)
SETTING THE CONTROLS
• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate
the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
• Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (-18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as
desired.
• Refrigerator control: 33°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the number setting, the colder the
refrigerator compartment will become.
• Freezer control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C)
When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer
compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator
compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator.
• ICE PLUS:
Press the ICE PLUS key and the LED will turn on.
This function will remain activated for 24 hours and
intensify the cooling speed of freezer and increase
the amount of ice.
NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C, press and hold
COLDER key of freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator
over 5 seconds at the same time. and if you want to
change °C to °F, hold them for 5 seconds again.
wCAUTION
Display mode setting and its cancellation
• To enter this mode, raise either the Refrigerator or Freezer
temperature to its highest setting. Then, press and hold
WARMER Key for 5 seconds.
• Perform the same way again to cancel the display mode.
24
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
wWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT insert your hands in to the Icemaker in
operation. It may cause to injure you.
Operation instructions
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to
24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle-
approximately 90-130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to
O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to I (on).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours
to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shut off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
When you should set the icemaker
power switch to O (off)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than
a minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several
days.
Normal sounds you may hear
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on)
position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to
O (off).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
Preparing for vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

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 in the 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.
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.

SHELF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your
refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit
different heights of items will make finding the
exact item you want easier; it will also reduce
the amount of time the refrigerator door is open,
saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. Shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact,
such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves
are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into
small, pebble-sized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care
when removing them to avoid dropping them.
Adjusting Shelves
Remove shelves from the shipping position and place
shelves in the position you want.
wCAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the
other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf’s falling
or spilling food.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
wWARNING
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.
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.
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.
