BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY MESSAGES
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, if not avoided,

WARNING
CAUTION
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.
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.
ww
DANGER:
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.
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
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet
rated for 230 Volts, 50 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 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.

• 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 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.

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 1m
2
in
size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant 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.
ww
WARNING
w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
w Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
w Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
w Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
w 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.

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.
• 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.
ww
CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat
sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
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 in. (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to
open the doors.
NEXT
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.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 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.
BASE COVER
To remove the base cover
1. Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown
for clarity.)
2. Once drawer is open there is sufficient
clearance to remove screws on top of cover.
To replace base cover:
• Place cover into
position and insert and
tighten screws.
