INSTALLATION 11
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.
ENGLISH
12 INSTALLATION
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.
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges.
Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least
2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

Connecting the Water Line
Before You Begin
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
ENGLISH
18 INSTALLATION
Water Pressure
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, ¼ in. outer diameter, to 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) to connect the 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 to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water
supply kits. Before purchasing, make
sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes.
Note
A self piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.

the refrigerator into the final position.
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 side- to-side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1Turn 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.
2Open 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.
If the mullion on the left refrigerator door does not open and close properly or the right door stays ajar after the Auto Open Door function, follow the directions below.
Door Alignment
If the floor is not flat, the door heights may differ. In this case, use the following method to adjust the difference.
