This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
that can kill or hurt you or others, 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:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
?NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
?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.
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 the plug 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 and liquids 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 closing doors when children are in the area.
?Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
?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.)
?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 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, 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.
?Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length. It will cause electric shock
or fire.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

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
refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
Don't use an extension cord
If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household
overload that could cause a power outage.
Accessibility of Supply Plug
The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.
Supply Cord Replacement
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
hazard.
FEED WATER PIPE INSTALLATION
Before installation
?Automatic ice maker can be installed only by manufacturer.
?Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147~834kPa (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2) (That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be fully filled within 3 sec.).
BEFORE YOU THROWAWAY
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.
?If water pressure does not reach the rating 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2) or below, it is necessary
to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal 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.
w WARNING
?Connect to potable water supply only.
?Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.
w WARNING
?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.
