• Please dispose of the packaging material for this product in an environmentally friendly manner.

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.

Effective temperature range

The refrigerator is designed to operate normally in the temperature range specified by its class rating.

NOTE

The cooling performance and power consumption of the refrigerator may be affected by the ambient temperature, the door-opening frequency, and the location of the refrigerator. We recommend adjusting the temperature settings as appropriate.

NOTE

• Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 10 °C.

• Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of maintenance & service.

NOTE

Each measurement based on the design dimension, so it may differ depending on the measuring method.

CAUTION

• When installing, servicing, or cleaning behind the refrigerator, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push back in straight after finishing. Also, make sure your floor supports the full-load refrigerator. Otherwise, it may cause floor damage.

• Please tie up the extra length of the power cord at the back of the refrigerator so as not to be touched on the floor preventing the power cord from being crushed by the rollers upon relocation.

NOTE

Remove paper on spacer and then attach a spacer (Gray block) on the back side of refrigerator for better performance. Make sure a spacer fix like above image when you install the refrigerator. It is improving the refrigerator performance. If You set the refrigerator in furniture, the spacer should be removed for the door-flushing with furniture.

Flooring

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that has the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. To protect the floor finish, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working.

NOTE

Pulling or pushing the refrigerator may damage the floor. Moving the refrigerator after installation may damage the floor.

Levelling the refrigerator

If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the door can be opened and closed more easily.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls regarding normal situations (No Defect Cases) will be charged to users.

Condensation

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

These sounds are normal.

• When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

• While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

• During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.

• As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

• As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working.

• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.

• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.
