WARNING
•Be sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the refrigerator - Be sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the refrigerator, Otherwise, the parts can collide and break each other.
•DO NOT touch 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 39°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.
If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly 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.
WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).
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.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING
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 
Ensure proper ground exists before use.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, 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 that 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a ULlisted (USA), 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.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warningtype labels, the model and serial number label, or
the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the refrigerator.
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.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO USE
1.Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that 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.Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three 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.
INSTALLATION
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, 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.
WARNING
Shock Hazard:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
INSTALLATION (continued)
1.To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.
2.Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.
3.Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE: The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm². If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure below 30 psi, you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4.Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 2 inch (5 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
