IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards 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, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.
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.
CFC DISPOSAL
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
6
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
115 Volts, 60 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet,
and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• 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
40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any offodor 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.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, secure the product with the LEG not to
move left or right.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of the
refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more
to the rear by turning both leveling legs clockwise. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
4. Re-adjust if necessary.
5. Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of one another. You may have to
exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close
completely.
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 you want to raise at
middle hinge.
2. With 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 unit.)

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, air enters at top of the freezer and
circulates down. From the bottom of the freezer, air is
forced up to the top of the refrigerator. Air enters
refrigerator through the top vent, then circulates and
exists at the bottom, where it returns to the freezer.
MULTI-FLOW
• Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling
operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is
placed in the refrigerator compartment.
• If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent
while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if
gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because
of escaping cool air.
Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to
the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of
food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage
Guide section for details.)
SETTING THE CONTROLS
• Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that
lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (–18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize.
Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.
• Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.
• Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C)
When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer
compartment becomes colder. The refrigerator
compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator.
NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse,
press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key
simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.
NOTE: If you want to off display, press and hold ICE
PLUS key and FREEZER key over 5 seconds at the same
time.
NOTE: Touch display once to activate, then touch again
to change the settings or activate a function. If 10 seconds
has passed since the display has been touched, it will be
necessary to touch “once” again to reactivate.
☞ This is to prevent accidental display setting changes.
• ICE PLUS : Press the ICE PLUS button and the LED will
turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours
and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and the
amount of ice produced.
• Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3
seconds to lock the dispenser. When it is locked, the
dispenser will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the
LOCK button for 3 seconds.
• Filter Reset : It displays in months the number of months
left to exchange the filter from the moment power is
connected to the refrigerator. If you have changed the
filter after 6 months of use, press and hold the FILTER
button 3 seconds or more and the filter display will be
initialized with a buzzing sound.
NOTE: The average life of the filter is 6 months.
: If a door is open, the dispenser does not
work.
WARNING
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours
before doing this. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
higher the number 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.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator. Then wait 24
hours before checking the freezer temperature. If it is too
warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
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.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a
reliable cookbook.
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 also dry
out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic
food containers in the freezer compartment. They may be
break if they freezer.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 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 (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.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs. Your model may have
glass or wire shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will
make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also
reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open,
saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed
to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as
bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made
with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebblesized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid dropping them.
