WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

CAUTION

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the change of injury and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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 it in any way.

Do not crush or damage the water line.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themshelves.

Keep fingers out of 'pinch point' areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careful when you open the doors when children are in the area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they may break when frozen, causing damage.

The refrigerator=freezer should be positioned so that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an accident happens.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the 'Attention 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 refrigerator 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 ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

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 frozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat."

"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particulary 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."

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right 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.

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. This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and materials which are reusable and / or recyclable.

All the important materials should be sent to the collection center of waste material and can be reused after rework

(recycling). To recycle, please contact your local agency.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully,

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle --...,

3-prong grounding plug

_1

/I///

sure proper ground exists before use.

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 (in the United States), 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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING

METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 volts, 60Hz, 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 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.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, turn the control to OFF (Demo Mode), and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control to the desired setting.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning type labels, the model and serial number label, or the

Technical Data sheet located under the front part of the refrigerator, behind the base grille.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing 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. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see the Important

Safety Instructions section.

CONNECTING THE WATER

LINE

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the

Automatic Icemaker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on your product.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or seller. 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 OFF

(O) 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 doubleinsulated 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.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or seller. Follow next instruction 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 (2.8 kg.f/cm 2 - 4.2 kgof/cm2, less than

2-3 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 PSI (1.5 kg.f/cm 2, more than 4 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

Check to see whether 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 about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

*

Copper Tubing, 1/4"(6.35 mm) outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

JJ

JJ

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.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet

(2.4 m) as described above.

• A cold water supply.The

water pressure must be between 20 and 120 PSI (1.4 bar and 8.2 bar) on models without a water filter and between

40 and 120 PSI (2.8 bar and 8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

ENSURING

PROPER

AiR CiRCULATiON

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections.

o Cool air enters the freezer compartment from the control box located in the top of the inner case, and moves down. Air then exits through the air vents located behind the freezer drawer.

o In refrigerator compartment, a sensor located in the control box opens a gate which allows air to enter the compartment. Air moves down the compartment and exits through the vents located behind the crisper drawers.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust 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. 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.

" Do not block any of these 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 dried out food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

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.

S hutoff Arm

Power Switch

The icemaker will produce 6 cubes per cycle, approximately 100 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 OFF (O).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water the icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the shutoff arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the shutoff 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.

ADJUSTING CONTROL

SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments.

It is best to wait 24 hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section should be correct for normal household refrigerator use.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections).

The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

_- Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Eggs

Fruit

_- Store in original carton or on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper drawer, or store in a closed and sealed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Vegetables with I_ Place in plastic bags or plastic skins

(carrots,

container and store in crisper peppers) drawer.

Fish _ Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

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 refrigerator and 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 bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Containers without tight lids

Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment. They may burst if they freeze.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 Ibs of food per cubic foot (0.9 to 1.35 kg per cubic meter) 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.

Food storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (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: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for

30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

UNDERSTANDING

SOUNDS

YOU MAY

HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did not make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following list describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature.

The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but it is still more energy efficient than previous models. While running you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

COMPRESSOR

MOTOR SEEMS

TO RUN TOO MUCH

Check if...

Then...

The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.

Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time.

The room temperature is hotter than normal.

The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.

The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. These model is still more energy efficient than previous models.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator

It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the FOOD STORAGE

GUIDE Section. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly

The refrigerator control was not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.

The doors are not closed completely.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

See the ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS section.
