Please keep the refrigerator at a proper distance from other things. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity charges consumption.

Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected between the automatic ice maker and dispenser. Installing the refrigerator in a wet or damp area may cause rust and may be an electrical hazard.

If this refrigerator is installed where the ambient temperature is high, the freezing capacity is deteriorated and the cost of electricity used increases.

Where to install

Unstable installation may cause vibration and noise. If the floor to install the refrigerator on is not even, make the refrigerator level by rotating the height adjusting screw. Carpet or floor covering on which a refrigerator is installed may be discolored by heat from the bottom of the refrigerator. If our refrigerator causes this kind of damage, there is something wrong with it. Customers will not stand for this.

•

Install the refrigerator at a place where the ambient temperature is 5˚C ~ 43˚C (41˚F~110˚F). Ambient temperature outside this range may cause product malfunction. Also, the tube between the dispenser and automatic ice maker may freeze.

Water supply installation

Pass the refrigerator laterally through the access door as shown in the right figure.



Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21~121 psi (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2) (That is, an instant paper cup (6 oz. or 180 cc) will be fully filled within 3 seconds.)



If water pressure does not reach the rating 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm2) or below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and cool water feed.



Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26’ (8 m). Be careful for the tube to avoid being kinked. If the tube is 26’ (8 m) or longer it may cause trouble in water feed owing to the drain water pressure.



Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.

Warning

•

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.

IMPORTANT

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure 20 ~ 120 psi (lb/inch2)

Tools required

•

Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE

Installation

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure

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

-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

Connect

the tubing to

water line

•

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.

NOTE

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

-inch O.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a drill, drill a

-inch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet

end is solidly in the

" drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under

the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so the 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 the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto the copper tubing

as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open end wrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on the main

water supply. Flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Suggestion on Food Storage

Storing foods



Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.



Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperatures, such as bananas and melons.



Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.



When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its flavor and nutrition.



Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.



Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.



Never overload the door racks because they may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.



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



Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.



When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.



Do not touch the cold foods or containers, especially made of metal, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.

- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury.



Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.



Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.



When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position to keep them fresh longer.

Cleaning

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and Block the doors open to prevent mold and mildew. Be certain the stored refrigerator does not present a child entrapment danger.

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Unload the refrigerator to relocate it. (This is probably not necessary to pull it out for cleaning behind it.) Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room temperature, and dry the inside before closing the doors to pack it for moving. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Be sure to allow the soda to dissolve completely so it will not act as an abrasive compound.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, or flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp objects will stick to extremely cold surfaces.

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

Possible Cause

Refrigerator control is off.

Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.

Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.

Power outage. Check house lights.

Refrigerator is larger than the previous one you owned.

Room or outside weather is hot.

Refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time.

Automatic icemaker is operating.

Large amounts of warm or hot food may have been stored recently.

Doors are opened too frequently or too long.

Refrigerator or freezer door may be slightly open.

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.

Solution

Set refrigerator control.

This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically.

Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

Call local electric company.

This is normal. Larger, more efficient units run longer.

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions.

It takes a few hours for the refrigerator refrigerator to come down to room temperature completely.

Operation of the ice maker causes the refrigerator to run slightly longer.

Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the desired temperature is reached.

Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the door less often.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking the door. See problem section OPENING/CLOSING of doors, page 11.

Adjust the refrigerator control to a warmer setting until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired

temperatures.

Meat should be stored at a temperature just below the freezing point of water ( 32˚F, 0˚C) for maximum fresh storage time.

Solution

This is normal. The Refrigerator goes on and off to keep the temperature constant.

Adjust the refrigerator control to a colder setting.

A refrigerator requires several hours to cool down completely.

Wait until the refrigerator or freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature.

Warm air enters the refrigerator/ freezer whenever the door is opened. Open the door less often.

Adjust the freezer or refrigerator control to a colder setting until the freezer or refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.

It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the moisture content of meat.

Possible Cause

Today’s refrigerators have increased storage capacity and maintain more even temperatures.

Refrigerator is touching wall or cabinets.

The weather is hot and humid which increases the rate of frost buildup and internal sweating.

Door is slightly open.

Door is opened too often or too long.

Weather is humid.

Door is slightly open,causing cold air from the inside the refrigerator to meet warm air from the outside.

Floor is uneven or weak. Refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly.

Refrigerator operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle.

Items placed on the top of the refrigerator are vibrating.

Dishes are vibrating on the shelves in the refrigerator.

Solution

Close the door completely.

This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear.

See problem section Opening/Closing of doors, page 11.

Move refrigerator so that it does not touch the wall or refrigerator.

This is normal.

It is normal for dishes to vibrate slightly. Move dishes slightly. Make sure refrigerator is level and firmly set on floor.
