Please observe the following safety precautions to use the
refrigerator safely and correctly and to prevent accident or
injury when servicing.

1. Be careful of an electric shock. Disconnect power cord
from wall outlet and wait for more than three minutes
before replacing PWB parts. Shut off the power
whenever replacing and repairing electric components.

2. When connecting power cord, please wait for more than
five minutes after power cord was disconnected from the
wall outlet.

3. Please check if the power plug is pressed by the
refrigerator against the wall. If the power plug was
damaged, it could cause fire or electric shock.

4. If the wall outlet is overloaded, it may cause a fire.
Please use a dedicated circuit for the refrigerator.

5. Please make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Particularly in a wet or damp area.

6. Use standard electrical components.

7. Make sure hooks are correctly engaged.
Remove dust and foreign materials from the housing
and connecting parts.

8. Do not fray, damage, run over, kink, bend, pull out, or
twist the power cord.

9. Please check for evidence of moisture intrusion in the
electrical components. Replace the parts or mask with
insulation tape if moisture intrusion was confirmed.

10. Do not touch the icemaker with hands or tools to
confirm the operation of geared motor.

11. Do not suggest that customers repair their refrigerator

themselves. This work requires special tools and
knowledge. Non-professionals could cause fire, injury,
or damage to the product.

12. Do not store flammable materials such as ether,
benzene, alcohol, chemicals, gas, or medicine in the
refrigerator.

13. Do not put anything on top of the refrigerator,
especially something containing water, like a vase.

14. Do not put glass bottles with full of water into the
freezer. The contents will freeze and break the glass
bottles.

15. When you scrap or discard the refrigerator, remove the
doors and dispose of it where children are not likely to
play in or around it.

2. Replace with a new cartridge.

Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
protective cover from the o-rings.

With cartridge knob in the vertical position, push the new
filter cartridge into the cover until it stops.

If you can’t turn the filter from side to side, it isn’t fully
inserted. Push it in firmly and twist it into place. You will
hear the snap when it clicks into place.

Using the handle, twist the cartridge clockwise about 1/4
turn.

3. Flush the Water System After Replacing Filter Dispense

water through the water dispenser for 3 minutes to
purge the system.
There may be a little air in the line, causing noise or
hissing. Run the water at the dispenser until the hissing
stops to purge the air from the system.

NOTE: - To purchase replacement water filter cartridges,

visit your local appliance dealer or part distributor.

- You can also visit our website :

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases
the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.

3-2. Operation instructions

A newly-installed refrigerator may take up to 24 hours
to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 120–150 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and other operating
conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is
made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to I (on).

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A
newly-installed refrigerator may take up to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the

icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

NOTE: If the cube size is smaller or larger than you
expected, you can regulate the size with the cube size
button. (nomally caused by variations in water pressure.)

Every time you press the cube size button, the indicator
light go up. The higher position light is on, the larger cubes
will be. (1st step is the next after the 5th step.)

3-3. When you should set the icemaker power

switch to O (off)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a

minute or two.

• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

3-4. Normal sounds you may hear

• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it
will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.

• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

3-5. Preparing for Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a
qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some
models) to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

2. Description of Function

2-1-1. Function of Temperature Selection

* The temperature can vary ±3 °C depending on the load condition.

❉ Whenever pressing button, setting is repeated in the order of (Medium) ➝ (Medium Max) ➝ (Max) ➝ (Min) ➝

(Medium Min).

• The actual inner temperature varies depending on the food status, as the indicated setting temperature is a target
temperature, not actual temperature within refrigerator.

• Refrigeration function is weak in the initial time. Please adjust temperature as above after using refrigerator for minimum
2~3 days.

2-1-2. LCD Back Light Control (GR-L267AV(T)BA Model only)

1. In order to see the LCD display more easily, the backlight is turned on for one minute at the initial application of power, for
20 seconds when buttons are pressed, and when a door is opened and for 20 seconds after it is closed.

2. When any display button is pressed while the backlight is off, the buzzer sounds and the backlight is turned on, but the
button function is not performed. In other words, pressing any button turns on the backlight but does not cause any
function to be initiated.

3. If pressing the special freezing button and the freezing temperature adjustment button for more than a second, the back
light is turned on and all the graphics of LCD are turned on. If releasing the button, the LCD graphic is displayed in the
previous status and the back light is turned off (check LCD graphic and back light ON/OFF status).

2-1-3. Outside temperature display function

1. Outside temperature sensor at the right Hinge Cover - U of refrigerator senses ambient temperature and displays the
outside temperature in the upper of ROOM TEMP text on the display part.

2. Ambient temperature is displayed up to 16°F ~ 120°F and displayed as Lo for less than 15°F and as HI for more than
121°F. If the ambient temperature sensor fails, it is displayed as Er.

3. Since display temperature of outside temperature is temperature sensed by the ambient sensor in the upper hinge of the
refrigerator room, it may differ from the outside temperature display of other household electrical appliances.
