SAFETY MESSAGES
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards that can cause death or serious personal injury or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word
DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
DANGER:
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.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
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 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.

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.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet
rated for 240 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at
15 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
WARNING
• 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 the
power cord.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas;
clearances between the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors
when children are in the area.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer
Instructions that were taped to the front of the
refrigerator.
• Don’t touch the lamp, in case of light on the long
time, Because it can be very hot.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely. The United States

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.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
•
food storage compartments of the appliance,
unless they are of the type recommended by
the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas
•
used in the appliance require special disposal
procedures. When disposal, please consult
with service agent or a similarly qualified
person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental
compatibility, but it is also combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care should
be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the
pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is
detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources
of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air
mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance may be sited
depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room
must be 1
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate
inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing
any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

automatic icing and cool water feed.
• Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within
8 m and be careful for the tube not be bent. If the tube
is 8 m or longer it may cause trouble in water feed
owing to the drain water pressure.
• Install the feed water pipe tube at a place free from
heat.
WARNING
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.
WARNING
• The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the

A dedicated outlet should be used.
• Using several devices at one outlet may cause fire.
• If unit is connected to an
earth leakage breaker it

food. This could occur due
to power supply
circumstances, and may
not necessarily mean a refrigerator malfunction.
Prevent the power cord from being squeezed
or imprinted if the refrigerator is pushed in
after the power plug is extracted during the
installation.
When moving your appliance away from the

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
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 TechSheet that is attached to back
wall 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.
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.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position.
Please reinstall shelves according to your
individual storage needs.
INSTALLATION
• To minimize noise and vibration, the refrigerator
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or
weakly supported structure.
1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If
required, adjust the leveling screws to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be
turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn
the leveling screws clockwise ( ) to raise the
unit, counterclockwise ( ) to lower it.
2. Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature is between 13°C and 43°C. If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or
high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.
3.
Too small a distance from adjacent items may
result in lowered freezing capability and
increased electricity consumption charges. Allow
at least 24" (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to
open the doors.
WARNING
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion
or fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
• Select a place where a water supply can be
easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
w
CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat
sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
2" (5.08 cm)
NEXT
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off
