result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

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

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”.

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.

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.

GROUNDING

REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical

Shock Hazard

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

3-prong grounding plug

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle

Ensure proper ground exists 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

Push the refrigerator sideways through the entrance door as shown in the right picture.



Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~121psi(lb/inch2) (That 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.



Connect to potable water supply only.

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

1010

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 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-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 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.
