RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current should only be 115 V ~ 60 Hz, 127 V ~ 60 Hz or 220 V~ 50/60 Hz, AC (according to the National rating type). with a 15 A fuse for voltages between 115 and 127 V or 10 A to 220 V independent voltage protection system from the main supply of your home. (The electrical installation must be verified by a qualified technician).
This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Type 3 Type 4
It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be disconnected with a switch.
Do not use an extension cable. It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-prong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third prong from the plug.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
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.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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 refrige 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
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.

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.
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 shel 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.
f, not on door
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
rystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply
c 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.
