WARNING You canbe killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

CAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happed if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following. Read all instructions before using this appliance:

NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace inmediately 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 it in any way.

Do not crush or damage the water line.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or or shelves in refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themshelves.

Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful when you open the doors when children are in he area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

3NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Introduction

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced). NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment they may break when frozen, causing damage.

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

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.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention

Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 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.

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° (4°C).”

“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be frozen 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.”

DANGER	Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
	the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
Risk of child	dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
entrapment	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.
CFC DISPOSAL	Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs
	(chlorofuorocarbons). 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.
	This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), is made of parts and
	materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the important materials
	should be sent to the collecton center of waste material and can be reused
	after rework (recycling). For take back, please contact with the local agency.

		before use.

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 threeprong 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 (in the United States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a groundind 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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

Feed water tube installation

Before Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~121psi(lb/inch2) (That Installation is, a 7oz. paper cup will be filled within 3 sec.).

If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(lb/inch2) or below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and cool water feed.

Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 40 feet and be careful not to bend or kink the tube. If the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water dispenser will not operate properly.

Install the water feed tube at a place free from heat.

Warning

Connect to potable water supply only.

Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

Warning	Connect to potable water supply only.
	IMPORTANT
	• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn icemaker
	to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.
	• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
	• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
	• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
	• It may take up to 24 hours for your icemaker to begin producing ice.

		on the line. It may help to open an outside faucet to allow the water to drain from
		the line in the house.
		3. Find a 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.
		NOTE
		• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top of
		the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps
		normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
		4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the
		connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7
		feet (2.1m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-inch O.D.
		(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
		square.
		5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4-inch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
		6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is
		solidly in the 1/4-inch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is
		under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
		carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or
		you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is
		used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
		7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.
		Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
		compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.
		8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main
		water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve
		on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.
