result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
Introduction
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn 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). NO TE: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 supply plug is accessible
for quick disconnection when 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.
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 refrigerators 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 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 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° (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,
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.”
DANGER
Risk of child
entrapment
CFC DISPOSAL
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”.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
T ake 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
(chlorofuorocarbons). 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), 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). For take back, please contact with the local agency.

GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical
Shock Hazard
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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
plug
3-prong
grounding type
wall receptacle
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into it's 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 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 threeprong 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-listed (in the United
States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a groundind 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.

Feed water tube installation
Push the refrigerator sideways through the
entrance door as shown in the right picture.
Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~121psi(lb/inch2) (That
is, a 7oz. paper cup will be filled within 3 sec.).
If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi (lb/in² or below), it is necessary
to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and cool
water feed.
Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 40 feet and be careful not to
bend or kink the tube. If the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water
dispenser will not operate properly.
Install the water feed tube at a place free from heat.
Connect to potable water supply only.
Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.
Mount the doors in the reverse order of
removal after the refrigerator is brought to
the installation area.

In order to perform the water connection you will need to buy: a 1/4-inch saddle-type
shut off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure the saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
