Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the right
and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from frontto-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s
tilt using the instructions below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16 in (18 mm) wrench or flat blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the
refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of
the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door that you would like to
raise at the middle hinge.
2. With your other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as
shown.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned.
(Three snap rings are provided with the refrigerator in the
Use & Care Guide packet.)
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs. This
makes it easier to adjust the legs.
2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the
left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food
doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of
the other. You may have to exert slight pressure on the doors to
get them to close completely.
20HOW TO USE
SETTING THE CONTROLS
AIRFLOW
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.
Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food
section and back again through air vents in the wall
dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while
packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow and
may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too
warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow
diagram below.)
NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours
before making additional adjustments. The controls are
set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would
like and when ice cream is firm. If the temperature in
either compartment is too cold or too warm, change the
setting one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the
change to stabilize before adjusting again.
Dispenser
Some dripping may occur after dispensing water. Hold
your cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds after
dispensing to catch all of the drops.
NOTE: The dispenser will not work if any door is left open
or if the control lock is engaged.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (Installed Ice Maker Models Only)
The icemaker will produce approximately 70-210 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door openings
and other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6-8 (12-16
oz) glasses of ice.
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
(0,14 ~ 0,82 MPa) on models without a water filter and
between 40 and 120 psi (0,28 ~ 0,82 MPa) on models
with a water filter to produce the normal amount and
size of ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor
can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area
is clean at all times for proper operation.

23 HOW TO USE
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
ENGLISH
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
Items
Butter or
margarine
Cheese
Milk
Eggs
Fruit
How to
Keep opened butter in
a covered dish or closed
compartment. When
storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging
and freeze.
Store in the original
wrapping until you are
ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in
plastic wrap or aluminum
foil.
Wipe milk cartons. For
best storage, place milk
on interior shelf.
Store in original carton on
interior shelf, not on door
shelf.
Do not wash or hull the
fruit until it is ready to be
used. Sort and keep fruit
in its original container,
in a crisper, or store in a
completely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator
shelf.
Leftovers Cover leftovers with
plastic wrap, aluminum
foil, or plastic containers
with tight lids.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for
further information about preparing food for freezing or
food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food.
Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours, no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of
food per cubic foot ( 1 to 1,5 kg of food per each 30
liters ) 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 (how 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.
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 it does, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
