.kVAVl'_1_t7,II 7,[_

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions shouldbe followed, including the following:

° 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 theplug or connector end.When moving your

refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or

damage the power cord.

° DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

andliquids 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 themselves.

° 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

performedby a qualified individual.

° Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator orturn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A

burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position

does not remove power to the light circuit.

° DO NOT store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

° The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the

supplyplug is accessible for quick disconnection if an accident happens.

° For personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded. Have the wail outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded. ° Read all instructions before using this appliance. * Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

inthis use and care guide. ° After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the

coldsurfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are

damp orwet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces. ° In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact

with themoving 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. ° DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in

Home andGarden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed

ifthey still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold below40°F (4°C)."

"...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-

odoror off-color should not be refrozen and should not be

eaten.Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or

color ofany food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The

food may bedangerous to eat."

"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating

qualityof 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."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

Jack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by 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.

[e] e q

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofiuorocarbons).CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric Ozone.

For proper disposal of the product, please contact your local regulatory agency.

[€._o]lJ_ _[_ [_ _U]l_t:W,'_l:l_,/ _"]

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRiaTY

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

FOR YOUR 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.

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.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure 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.

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 wail 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, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the

electrical source and reset the control (thermostat, refrigerator control or freezer control, depending on the model) to the

desired setting.

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-iisted (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.

Use this section to become more familiar with the parts and features.

NOTE: This guide covers several different models. The refrigerator you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed below. The locations of the features shown below may not match your model.

LEVELING AND DOOR CLOSING

To avoid vibration_ the unit must be leveled. If necessary adiust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Your refrigerator has two Front Leveling Screws - one on the

right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady

or you want the doors to close more easily_ adjust the

refrigerator's flit using the instruction below:

1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet.

Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Remove the base grille. See BASE GRILLE iNSTRUCTiONS.

The two Leveling Screws are located on the bottom of the

refrigerator on either side.

3. Insert a flat screwdriver in slots to adjust the Leveling Screws.

Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise the side of the

refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take

several turns of the Leveling Screw to adjust the tilt of the

refrigerator.

NOTE: Having some push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight off the Leveling Screws. This make it easier to adjust the screws.

Fig. 38

DOOR ALIGNMENT

If the space between your doors is uneven_ follow the

instructions below to align the doors.

1. Gently pry off: the refrigerator door Top Hinge Cover with a fiat head screwdriver and remove. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts using a lOmm or ]3/3 2 -in. Socket wrench or open-end

wrench.

2. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space between the two door is even_ and the top hinge bolts.

3. Replace the Top Hinge Cover.

4.0pen both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the

rear by turning both Leveling Screws clockwise. It may take

several more turns_ and you should turn both Leveling Screws the same amount.

5. Replace the base grille.

ENSURING PROPER AiR CiRCULATiON

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

the illustration below, air enters at the top of the freezer and circulates down. From bottom of the freezer, air is forced up

to top of the refrigerator. Air enters to the refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at the bottom, where it

returns to the freezer.

SETTING THE CONTROLS Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the

temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

REFRIGERATOR CONTROL

Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle setting, number 3. To do so, push the temperature adjust button until the number 3 LED light is lit up. Leave the refrigerator at this setting for 24 hours to reach correct temperature. After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature as desired. The higher the number, the colder the refrigerator compartment wili become. Always wait 24 hours before adjusting temperature. If you go past the desired number, keep pushing the temperature adjust button until your desired number is lit up.

NOTE: When you disconnect the device or a power failure occur it wiii initialize in the last temperature level before the

disconnect or failure ocurred.

Do not block any of the cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

iMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections,

Any odors formed in one section wiii transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To

prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover

foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details).

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door

forcefully, the freezer door may open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off: all 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.

Filter Change: When the filter Change light turns on, you have to change the water filter. Press and hold the "FILTER CHANGE" button for 3 seconds to turn the light off:. You need to change the water filter approximately every 6 months.

FREEZER CONTROL

The freezer control should come from the factory set on the middle

setting, number 2. Wait 24 hours before adjusting the temperature of the freezer compartment up or down. Turn the dial to set freezer temperature as

desired. ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any

adjustment for unit to reach desired temperature.

ADJUSTINGCONTROLSETTINGS

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 SEETING THE CONTROLS 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. Then wait 24 hours

before checking the freezer temperature. 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 of least 24 hours between adjustments.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a

reliable cookbook.

FREEZING

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 proper care is not given during packaging, 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.

_0 not use:

° Bread wrappers. ° Non-polyethylene plastic containers. ° Containers without tight lids. ° Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap.

° Thin, semi-permeable wrap.

Your freezer wiii not quick-freeze any large quantities 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 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.

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.

NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction.

REFRIGERATOR SECTION REFRIGERATORSHELVES

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. These units are aii glass shelves.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make

finding the exact item you want easier; it wiii also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.

iMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water

when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your

protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

SUFFOCATION HAZARD

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (C02). When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe

the vapors.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Empty the ice bin.

Jfyou choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. Depending on your model, set the thermostat control

(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the Setting the Controls section.

3. Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.

4.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the fops of both doors to

prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

If the electricity goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off.

1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen.

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

A) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food

locker.

B)Place 2 Ibs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot

of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for two to four days. While handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.

C)tf neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume

or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer

than a partially filled one. A freezer fuji of meat stays cold

longer than a freezer fuji of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is pot, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

WHEN YOU MOVE

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

This icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle approximately 100 - 130 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 0 (OFF).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (ON). The icemaker will fill with water only when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin

making ice cubes.

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

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

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

Set the icemaker power switch to 0 (OFF) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the surrounding air temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,

taste stale, and shrink.

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the Automatic Ice Maker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on

your product.

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into

the wall outlet.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

° Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to

connect the refrigerator to the water supply.

Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut

square.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. 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 O (OFF} position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. When using any electrica! 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, This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow next instructions carefully to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage.

* If a reverse osmosis water filtratlon 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 or 0,27 MPa to 0,41MPa (2,8 kg'f/cm 2 - 4,2 kg'f/cm 2, Jessthan 2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity [0,2 liters]). If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is Jessthan 21

PSI or 0,14 MPa (1,5 kg'f/cm 2, more than 4 seconds to fill a

cup of 7 oz capacity [0,2 liters]).

° Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

* AHow 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.

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 sumcient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2,4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in [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 (0,137 and 0,82 MPa or 1,4 and 8,2 bar) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 PSI

(0,275 and 0,82 MPa or 2,8 and 8,2 bar) on models with a water filter.

* Power drill.

" 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

* Straight= and Philllpsblade

screwdriver.

* Two 1,_- outer diameter

compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff: valve and the refrigerator water valve.

• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutterand then use a compression fitting.

* Shut off valve to connect to the

cold water llne. The shutoff: valve

should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32

" at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-

type shutoff: valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle- type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking

water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the

refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wail or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wail as possible.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION Choose a location for the valve that is

easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe.

When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe r maize the connection to the top or side, rather

than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe

(even if using a selfpiercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs

resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care not to allow water

to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4 hole may result in reduced ice

production or smaller cubes.

4.FASTEN THE SHUT OFF VALVE Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches in diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wail after installation.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper

tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Maize sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

UNDERSTANDINGSOUNDS 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 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 emcientiy to keep

your food items at the desired temperature.

° The high emciency compressor may cause your new

refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and 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. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. Contraction and expansion of the inside wails may cause a popping noise. Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound. You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

° You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

defrost cycle.
