This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but which 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 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the 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.

13INSTALLATION

Unpacking the Refrigerator

WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back injury or other injury.
• The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor when moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service. 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, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
NOTE
• Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning 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. Rinse 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.
• Reinstall or adjust shelves as needed. Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

Water
Water supply must be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE
• The water pressure must be 20 - 120 psi or 138 - 827 kPa or 1.4 - 8.4 kgf/ cm2. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/ cm2), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Electricity
Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC, 15 Amps minimum.
WARNING
• Do not overload house wiring and cause a fire hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the same outlet with the refrigerator.
• 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 installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for the unevenness of the floor.
NOTE
• Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.
ENGLISH
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.
14 INSTALLATION
Dimensions and Clearances
• Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.
• If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, the doors must be removed.
• The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.
• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
