A
Adjusting the height with the height lever (applicable models only)
• Before aligning the door height, make
sure the refrigerator is level. Use the
leveling legs for this purpose.
• You can use the height lever at the
bottom of the right-side door of the
fridge. Open the right-side door of the
freezer with both fridge doors closed
and use the lever to adjust the door
height.
• Turn the height lever (A) until the two
doors are aligned at the top. Turn the
lever toward UP (as marked) to raise
the right-side door and turn it toward
DOWN (as marked) to lower the door.
• Lift the fridge door slightly to make
alignment easier. The maximum
adjustable height is 3 mm.
- The lever will not turn past the
maximum limit. It may make a noise
it if is turned too far.
- Excessive height may interfere with
the upper hinge cover of the fridge
door.
• If you align the door height with the
door bins empty and then store items in
the bins, the heights may differ again. If
this happens, follow the steps above to
realign the doors.

Adjusting the height with the snap rings
For the models with the height lever on the right-side door of the fridge, use the snaps

Installation
NOTE
The height of a door can be adjusted using
the provided snap rings, which come in
4 different sizes (1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm,
and 2.5 mm).
1. Check the height difference between
the doors, and then lift up and hold the
door with the lower height.
2. Insert a suitable-sized snap ring (A)
between the door grommet (B) and the
hinge as shown.
CAUTION
• Insert only one snap ring. If you insert two or more snap rings, the rings may slip out
or make a rubbing noise.
• Keep the snap rings out of children’s reach and keep them for future use.
• Do not raise the door too much. The door can contact and damage the top cover.

freezer doors using the lever located at
the bottom hinge.
• Open the door, lift it a little, and then
turn the lever left or right to adjust the

(applicable models only)
• You can adjust the gap between both
fridge doors and the main body of the
refrigerator using the adjustment bolt
located at the bottom of the fridge
compartment.
• Lift the door gasket and located the
adjustment bolt underneath the gasket.
Use the 4 mm Allen wrench to adjust
the gap.
CAUTION
Make sure you rmly attach the gasket.
Otherwise, cold air from the refrigerator
may leak.

STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line
A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water lter 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 must be between 20 and 125 psi (138 and 862 kPa).
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi / 138 kPa),
you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, check if the water dispenser works properly.
Press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response) (Applicable models only)
When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy
Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of
some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.
• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the
• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with
In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the
service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management
System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy prole).
Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function
This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company
and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during offpeak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.
Operations
If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator
will display the DAL ~ TALR levels on the refrigerator display and control the power
consumption according to the level.
[Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as
long as product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR),
the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load
Reduction (TALR) mode.
• Delay Appliance Load (DAL): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing

a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls
functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running
the defrost cycle, and making ice.
- When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, “DAL” is displayed on the refrigerator
display.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time
stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when you turn off the Peak Demand
function.

• Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR): The refrigerator responds to a TALR
signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces
energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that
consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.
- When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, “TALR” is displayed on the
refrigerator display.
- TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration
(max. 15 minutes), or when you turn off the Peak Demand function. The mode is
immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the
door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
Peak Demand Off
When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal
from the utility company, you can turn off the Peak Demand function.
When you turn off the Peak Demand function, the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID
(Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.

Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice.
For rst-time use
• Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days.
• Discard the rst 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system.
Diagnosis
• The overall design and/or accessories
may differ with the model.
• If ice does not dispense, rst check
the status of ice maker using the Test
button on the bottom of the ice maker.
• Press the Test button on the bottom of
the ice maker. You will hear a chime

NOTE
• A newly installed lter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briey. This is

Reverse osmosis water ltration system
The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water ltration
system must be between 35 psi and 120 psi (241 kPa and 827 kPa).
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water ltration system to the refrigerator’s
cold water line must be at least 40 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure is below these
specications:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter
if necessary.
• Rell the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when
used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter.
For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.
Ordering a new lter
To purchase a new water lter, contact a local service agent.
