ENGLISH

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

INSTALLATION

Unpacking the Refrigerator

WARNING

•Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

•Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

•Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the refrigerator. But, when you remove tape and temporary label, remove them after pulling out the power plug.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

•Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.

NOTE

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water filter.

•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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door AlIgnment.)

NOTE

ENGLISH

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

INSTALLATION

Dimensions and Clearances

ENGLISH

•Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.

•If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, the doors must be removed.

•The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.

•Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch on the control panel is in the OFF position.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

ENGLISH

(Correct)

(Incorrect)

2) Pull the tube to make sure that the tube is tightly fastened.

INSTALLATION

Water Pressure

ENGLISH

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276~414 kPa or

2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/ cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):

•Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

•Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

•If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

•All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

•Copper Tubing,

connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

•To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

•Power drill.

•½ in. or adjustable wrench.

•Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.

•Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

•If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

•Shutoff valve

INSTALLATION

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

extended fully and in firm contact with the floor.

Follow the instructions in the Door

Alignment section to raise the left refrigerator door until the door mullion is once again working properly.

Adjust the right refrigerator door so it

aligns with the left refrigerator door.

ENGLISH

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs— one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or sideto-side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise

that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.

Open both doors again and check to make

sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

Door Mullion and Auto Open Door

Once the door bins are filled, the doors may become misaligned, preventing the door mullion or the Auto Open Door function from working properly.

Door Alignment

If the floor is not flat, the door heights may differ. In this case, use the following method to adjust the difference.

In-Door Ice Bin

Depending on the model, some of the following functions may not be available.

CAUTION

•Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

•The icemaker stops producing ice when the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, ice may build up higher around the sensor than in the rest of the bin, causing the icemaker to stop producing ice before the bin is full. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

•To avoid damaging the icemaker, do not store cans or other items in the ice bin.

•Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

•If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few hours.

Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin

Gently pull the handle to open the ice

compartment.

HOW TO USE

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the

front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while

slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the icemaker.

Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler

arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

Automatic Icemaker

Depending on the model, some of the following functions may not be available.

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70-182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

•It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

•Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

•Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff (feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the feeler arm is clean at all times for proper operation.

•To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function. The function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.

CAUTION

•The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

•Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

•Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

•If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

•Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.

•The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.

•Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

•Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

•Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.

•Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

•To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.

•Never remove the dispenser cover.

•If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact a qualified service center.

When You Should Turn the Icemaker Off

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

•When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes.

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

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied when the Ice On/Off button is set to the Off mode.

Normal Sounds You May Hear

•The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the Ice on/off button is set to On, the icemaker will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, press the Ice on/off button to set it to the Off position.

NOTE

Keeping the icemaker on 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.

Preparing for Vacation

Set the Ice On/Off button to Off and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied any time the Ice On/Off button is turned Off.

If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
