This guide contains many important safety messages Always read and obey

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards that can kilI or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard
signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:

_ DANGER You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

[] WARNING

WARNING You can be 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.

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
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 the area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

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

individual.

=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.

oThe 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

Risk of child

entrapment

CFC DISPOSAL

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow

the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAYYOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

, Take off the doors.
, Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside,

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 collection center of waste material and can be reused
after rework (recycling). For take back, please contact with the local agency.

GROUNDING

[] WARNING

Electrical

Shock Hazard

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.

gI'ound ing type

ground exists

/;) ....

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 three-
prong 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 Ublisted (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.

Before

Installation

[]Warning

Connecting

the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3-121psi(Ib/inch 2) (That

is, a 7oz. paper cup will be filled within 3 sec.).

• If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(Ib/inch 2) 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.
