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,
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.
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.
• 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.

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.
ww
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 lights from causing an
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 person in order to avoid a
hazard.
FEED WATER PIPE INSTALLATION
Before installation
• Automatic ice maker can be installed only by
manufacturer.
• Automatic ice maker operation needs water
pressure of 147~834 kPa (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm
2
)
(That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be
fully filled within 3 sec.).
• If water pressure does not reach the rating
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm
2
) 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.
ww
WARNING
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Refer to instructions with water filter kit for
installation.
ww
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.
