IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high

environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the

appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,

avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is

standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit

occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of

refrigerant used. The room must be 1m

in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the

appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification

plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt,

consult your dealer.

WARNING

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those

recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they

are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures.

When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.

Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the

fridge warranty. Follow these instructions carefully

to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If you are not confident or unsure about connecting

to a water supply, then a Licensed plumber

should be called. This cost is not covered by the

manufacturer.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in

house plumbing can cause damage to fridge parts

and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a

qualified plumber to correct water hammer before

installing the water supply line to the fridge.

If you use your fridge before connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker power

switch is in the OFF (O) position.

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or

138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models

without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827

kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water

filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, this water

line installation is not covered by the fridge

warranty. Follow the 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 (276~414 kPa or

2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 3.0~5.0 sec. to fill a

cup with a 200ml capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or

1.4 kgf/cm² (takes more than 5.0 sec to fill a cup

with a 200ml capacity):

Check to see if 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 concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in

areas where temperatures fall below

freezing.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage,

only connect the fridge water line to a

cold water supply.

Turning On The Power

Plug in the fridge.

CAUTION

Connect to a rated power outlet.

Have a certified electrician check

the wall outlet and wiring for proper

grounding.

Do not damage or cut off the ground

terminal of the power plug.

(Your plug type might be different

from the picture.)

INSTALLATION

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

After installing, plug the fridge’s power cord

into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the

fridge into the final position being careful not

to crush the power cord under the unit or its

wheels.

Your fridge 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 fridge seems unsteady, or you want the

doors to close more easily, adjust the fridge’s

tilt using the instructions below:

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that

side of the fridge or to the right to lower it.

It may take several turns of the leveling leg

to adjust the tilt of the fridge.

Open both doors again and check to make

sure that they close easily. If the doors do

not close easily, tilt the fridge slightly more

to the rear by turning both leveling legs to

the left. It may take several more turns,

and you should turn both leveling legs the

same amount.

NOTE

A flare nut spanner works best, but an

open-end spanner will suffice.

Do not over-tighten.

Door Alignment

The left fridge door has an adjustable nut, located

on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door

for proper alignment.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow

the instructions below to align the doors:

Use the spanner (included with the Use & Care

Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust

HOW TO USE

Ice-detecting

sensor

CAUTION

When handling the ice bin,

keep hands away from the

icemaker tray area to avoid

personal injury.

In-Door Ice Bin

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

Removing the In-Door Ice Bin

Gently pull the handle to open the ice

compartment.

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the

front handle, slightly lift the lower part,

and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Refitting the In-Door Ice Bin

Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while

slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the

icemaker.

Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor

when replacing the ice bin. See the label

on the ice compartment door for details.

CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice

compartment door and dispenser chute.

Failure to do so may result in damage or

personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when

the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more

ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin

in the freezer compartment. During use,

the ice can become uneven causing the

icemaker to misread the amount of ice

cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the

ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce

this problem.

Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will

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 fridge compartment.

This could also cause the icemaker to stop

producing ice.

If the O

N/OFF switch on the icemaker is set

to OFF for an extended period of time, the

ice compartment will gradually warm up to

the temperature of the fridge 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.

HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent

to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce

50~140 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending

on freezer compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings and

other operating conditions.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly

installed fridge to begin making ice. Wait 72

hours for full ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin

is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds

approximately 6 to 8 glasses of ice.

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or

138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models

without a water filter and 40~120 psi or

276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models

with a water filter to produce the normal

amount and size of ice cubes.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-

detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.

Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times

for proper operation.

into the ice bin.

HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker

(continued)

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 fridge 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 icemaker or the

containers may 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.

Keep children away from the dispenser.

Children may play with or damage the

controls.

The ice passage may become blocked with

frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the

frost that accumulates by removing the ice

bin and clearing the passage with a rubber

spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help

prevent frost buildup.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

collect ice. Such containers may chip or

break resulting in glass fragments 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 fridge 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 ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn

off the water supply and contact a qualified

service center.

CAUTION

When You Should Turn the

Icemaker 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 fridge 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 ON (I) position,

it will buzz even if it has not yet been

connected to water. To stop the buzzing,

move the power switch to OFF (O).

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 OFF (O) and

shut off the water supply to the fridge.

If the ambient temperature is expected to 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.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied when the

icemaker on/off switch is turned to the

OFF

position.

NOTE

Keeping the power switch in the ON

(I) position before the water line is

connected can damage the icemaker.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied anytime

the icemaker on/off switch is turned to

the OFF (O) position.

HOW TO USE

Storing Food

Food Preservation Location

Each compartment inside the fridge is designed to store different types of food.

Store your food in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.

NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the fridge should be

left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the

freezer.

If you are leaving the fridge turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from

growing in the fridge.

Adjustable fridge shelf

Adjustable shelves to meet

your individual storage needs.

CustomChill™ Drawer

Adjust the temperature to store

meat and seafood, cold drinks,

deli snacks, or chilled wine.

Door-in-Door

Recommended types of food

to store in the Door-In-Door

section are butter, margarine,

cream cheese, peanut butter,

ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.

Vegetable storage

(Crisper)

Preserves vegetables

and fruit.

Durabase

Largest storage space in

the freezer.

Extra Space

You can store small

items, or put an item to

defrost.

CAUTION

Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the fridge. The moisture could

come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.

Wash food before storing it in the fridge. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food

packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.

If the fridge is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

vegetables in the fridge may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean

cloth or a paper towel.

If the fridge door or freezer drawer is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the fridge and raise

its temperature. It can also increase the cost to run the appliance.

Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or

personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.

The temperature inside the Extra Space is slightly lower than in the shelf or door bin area.

HOW TO USE

Food Storage Tips

* The following tips may not be applicable

depending on the model.

Wrap or store food in the fridge in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted.

This prevents food odor and taste transfer

throughout the fridge. For dated products, check

date code to ensure freshness.

Food How to

Butter or

Margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered

dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply,

wrap in freezer packaging and

freeze.

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping

until you are ready to use it.

Once opened, rewrap tightly in

plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Milk Wipe milk cartons. For coldest

milk, place containers on

interior shelf.

Eggs Store in original carton on

interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit Do not wash or hull the fruit

until it is ready to be used. Sort

and keep fruit in its original

container, in a crisper, or store

in a completely closed paper

bag on a fridge shelf.

Leafy

Vegetables

Remove store wrapping and

trim or tear off bruised and

discolored areas. Wash in cold

water and drain. Place in plastic

bag or plastic container and

store in crisper.

Vegetables

with skins

(carrots,

peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in crisper.

Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish

in the freezer section if they

are not being consumed the

same day of purchase. It is

recommended to consume

fresh fish and shellfish the

same day purchased.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap

or aluminum foil, or store in

plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large

quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen

food into the freezer than will freeze within

24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per

cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough

space in the freezer for air to circulate around

packages. Be careful to leave enough room at

the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality

and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap

used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and

the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a

sealed package are normal. This simply means

that moisture in the food and air inside the

package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food

for freezing or food storage times.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves

energy. Never freeze or store sealed glass

bottles or beverage cans in the freezer as they

may explode.

HOW TO USE

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct

packaging. When you close and seal the

package, it must not allow air or moisture in or

out. If it does, you could have food odor and

taste transfer throughout the fridge and could

also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting

lids

Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Plastic-coated paper

Non-permeable plastic wraps

Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

fridge, requiring the compressor to run longer in

order to cool the fridge back down. In order to

conserve energy, try to get everything you need

out of the fridge at once, keep food organized so

it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as

the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage

Guide.)

Doors are not closed

completely.

Check that food items are not obstructing the

door from closing then firmly push the doors

shut.
