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
20 and 120 psi on models without a
water filter and between 40 and 120 psi
on models with a water filter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
y
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.
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.

Ambient Temperature
Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C). If the temperature around the appliance
is too low or high, cooling ability may be
adversely affected.
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items
may result in lowered freezing capability and
increased electricity consumption charges.
Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the
refrigerator to open the doors, and at least
2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the
refrigerator and the wall.

INSTALLATION
Connecting the Water Line
ENGLISH
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in
house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator
parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding.
Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damange,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the OFF (O) position.
CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply. The water pressure must
be between 20 and 120 psi on models without
a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi on
models with a water filter.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the following instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm2 ~ 4.2
2
kgf/cm
, less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz
capacity).
CAUTION
Wear eye protection during installation
to prevent injury.
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm
more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):
Check to see if the sediment filter in
y
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse
y
usage.
If the issue concerning water pressure
y
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
y
with local plumbing code requirements.

Leveling and Door Alignment
ENGLISH
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 front-to-back or sideto-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust
the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions
below:
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise
1
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
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have
an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge,
to raise and lower them to align properly.
If the space between your doors is uneven,
follow the instructions below to align the doors
evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Owner’s
Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to
adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the
left to lower the height.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.
Open both doors again and check to make
2
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 mount.

In-Door Ice Bin
ENGLISH
HOW TO USE
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice
y
compartment door and dispenser chute.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when
y
the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more
ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin
in the freezer compartment. During use,
the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the
ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce
this problem.
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
y
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed
y
tightly. If the ice compartment door is not
closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will
freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop
producing ice.
If the O
y
N/OFF switch on the icemaker is
set to OFF for an extended period of time,
the ice compartment will gradually warm
up to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser,
ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few
hours.
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the
2
front handle, slightly lift the lower part,
and slowly pull out the bin as shown.
Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

Automatic Icemaker
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
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
y
installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin
y
is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.
The water pressure must be between 20 and
y
120 psi on models without a water filter and
between 40 and 120 psi on models with a
water filter to produce the normal amount and
size of ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it
y
with water or other beverages. Splashing
may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass
that already contains liquid.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally
y
narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from

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 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.

HOW TO USE
Adjusting the Refrigerator
ENGLISH
Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable
to meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights
of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Assembling the Shelf
Using the Folding Shelf
You can store taller items, such as a gallon
container or bottles, by simply pushing the
front half of the shelf underneath the back half
of the shelf. Pull the front of the shelf toward
you to return to a full shelf.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves with
y
warm water while they are cold.
Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or
impact.
Glass shelves are heavy. Use special
y
care when removing them.
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf
hooks into the slots at a desired height. Then,
lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks
drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or spilling
food.
