• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a level floor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• A location that allows sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation. If the refrigerator does not have enough space, it can cause the bad infl uence to refrigeration effi ciency and power consumption.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50 ºF (10 ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.

When moving your refrigerator

CAUTION To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs are in the up position (above the floor). Refer to ‘Adjusting the Level’ in the manual

FLOORING

For proper installation, you must place this refrigerator on a level, hard surface that is the same height as the rest of the floor. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 335lbs (152kg).
To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, you need to pull and push it straight forwards or back. Do not wiggle it from side to side.

REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

For some installations you need to remove the fridge and freezer drawers so you can move the refrigerator to its final location. Do not remove the doors/drawer if you don’t need to. If you do not need to remove the refrigerator doors, go to ‘Leveling the Refrigerator’ . If you need to remove the doors. continue below. Before removing the door/drawer, make sure you read the following items:

• Use care when you remove the doors/drawer. The doors are heavy and you could injure yourself.
• Reattach the doors/drawer properly to avoid:
  • Moisture from air leakage.
  • Uneven door alignment.
  • Wasting energy due to improper door seal

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE HANDLE

5. Remove the screw ( 8 ) attached to the lower left and right door hinges with a philips screwdriver (+). Remove the 2 hex head bolts ( 9 ) attached to the lower left and right door hinges with an allen wrench (3/16”). Remove the lower left and right door hinges (10 )

REATTACHING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

To reattach the fridge doors after you have moved the fridge to its final location, assemble the parts in reverse order.

1. The Water Line must be fully inserted into the center of the transparent coupler (Type A) or the Guide Lines (Type B) to prevent water leakage from the dispenser.
2. Insert the clip in the install pack, and then confirm that it holds the line firmly.

DISASSEMBLE THE FLEX DOOR

1. Take out the upper drawer by lifting it up.

2. Take out the lower basket ( 1 ) by lifting the basket up from the rail system.

3. Press the fixing hook of rail system.

4. Holding the top of the Freezer Drawer, pull it out all the way and then remove it from the rail system.

CAUTION: Be careful not to scratch or dent the sliding rail by letting it strike the floor.
CAUTION: Make sure that you mount the freezer basket in the right position when removing / installing the freezer door. Failing to do so may result in the door not opening or closing properly. Do not overload the bottom basket or the top drawer. Overloading prevents the Freezer drawer from closing properly and will eventually cause frost build-up.

ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER DRAWER

To reattach the drawer after you have moved the fridge to its final location, assemble the parts in reverse order.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause moisture condensation and increased energy bills. Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into the notch on the left control lever, and then turn it counter-clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

CAUTION: Both control levers must be touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.

• If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever.
• It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN DOORS

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

• The left door is fixed. To make minor adjustments between doors, adjust only the right door.

1. Pull out the freezer drawer ( 1 ), then you can see the lower hinge ( 2 ).
2. Insert a philips screwdriver (+) ( 3 ) into the shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning a philips screwdriver (+) ( 3 ) clockwise () or counterclockwise ().

• When you turn the hex wrench counter clockwise( ), the door will move up.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20~125psi (138~862 kPa) is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a ¼” compression nut.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut off valve.

Connecting the water supply line to the refrigerator.

There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.

• If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.
• If you are using plastic tubing ( B ) , insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ) into the compression fitting.

2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want.
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.

• Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
• But Should the power failure last more than 24hours, remove all frozen food.

If the key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be in the vicinity of the appliance. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of co tents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons. Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.

Temperature rise during defrosting can comply with ISO requirements. But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food up in several layers of newspaper. Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).

Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.

Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.

This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT :
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa). 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 to 414 kPa.) If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check 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 your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

• Never put fingers or objects into the dispenser opening Can cause injury. Never try to take the ice maker.
• Do not wipe or spray the ice tray with water while in the refrigerator. Remove for cleaning.

The phenomenon of turbidity

• The water entering the cooler circulates through the main filter is a filter for alkaline water. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water leaving the filter increases, and the water is saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When it is contacted with air, the pressure drops rapidly and the oxygen and nitrogen is oversaturated and generate gas bubbles.
• Temporarily, water can have a cloudy appearance due to these bubbles of oxygen. After a few seconds, water is colorless.
• Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after dispensing ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes. When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.

Troubleshooting

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.

• Check if the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufficient space between the stored foods for efficient air circulation.
• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?
• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again
• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right and the left part of the door.
