Maintenance
CAUTION
The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that
y
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
Be careful when you unpack and install the refrigerator. Immediately dispose of packing
y
materials (plastic) out of reach of children.
Close the door carefully when children are around.
y
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily
y
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
If you store food properly, beware that it may fall and cause injury.
y
When using the Automatic icemaker, make sure that the ice storage bin is installed in place.
y
This model does not come with a filter. Fill the cold water supply with drinking water only.
y
When not using the automatic icemaker, you can remove the icebin.
y
Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
y
Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas
y
regularly.
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
y
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than
y
those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless
y
they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal
y
procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
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
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.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
ENGLISH
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
y
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
y
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving
it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
y
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front 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.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
Select a place where a water supply can
y
be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between
140 and 860 kPa on models without a
water filter and between 275 and 860
kPa on models with a water filter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 220 Volts, 50 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 16 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp
area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. (See Leveling and door
AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.
INSTALLATION
