ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• Inthe event of a power failure, call the local
office of your Electricity Company and ask how
long it is going to last.

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.
Should the power failure last more than 24

hours, remove and discard all frozen food.

• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys
should be kept out of the reach of children and
not be kept in the vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might not operate consistently
(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures

can become too warm in the frozen food
compartment) when sited for an extended

period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the

temperatures for which the appliance is

designed.

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low

temperature, such as bananas and melons.

,, Your appliance is frost free, which means there

is no need to manually defrost your appliance.

This will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting complies
with ISO requirements.
But Ifyou want to prevent an undue rise in the

temperature of frozen food while the appliance

defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers
of newspaper.

• Any increase in the temperature of frozen food
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.

Saving Energy Tips

Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with

adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight

and never put it near a direct source of heat (a

radiator, for example).

Never block any vents or grilles on the
appliance.
Allow warm food to cool down before placing it

in the appliance.

Put frozen food inthe refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food inthe refrigerator.

Do not keep the door of the appliance open for
too long when putting food in or taking food

out.
The shorter the time the door is open, the less

frost build-up you'll have in the freezer.

Provide sufficient clearance to the right, left,

back, and top for air circulation when installing
the refrigerator. This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

4. After adjusting the doors, insert the supplied
fastener ( 6 ) using a pliers ( 5 ) in the gap

between the hinge-grommet ( 7 ) and the lower

hinge (8 ).
The number of fasteners you'll need to insert
depends on the gap.

The thickness of each fastener is 0.04".

Z_ WARNING

Keep the fasteners used to level the refrigerator
doors out of the reach of children.

Do not let children play with them.
There is a risk of death from suffocation if a

child swallows a fastener.

The left door is fixed.
To make minor adjustments between

doors, adjust only the right door.

1. Pull out the freezer drawer ( 1 ) to reveal the
lower hinge ( 2 ).

2. Insert the supplied allen wrench (5/32" (4 mm))

z_ CAUTION

Keep the Rings out of the reach of children and
make sure that children do not play with them or

put them into their mouths.

INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator.
To help promote better health, the water filter

removes unwanted particles from your water.
However, it does not sterilize the water or destroy

microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker.
For the ice maker to operate properly, water

pressure of 20 - 125 psi (138 - 862 kPa) is
required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a

booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make

sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator
is properly filled.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and
install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the

features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it

and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in

this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure

the interior light comes on when you open the

doors.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:

The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet

valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35
and 120 psi. (241 and 827 kPa)

Ifa reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to

be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi. (276 to 414 kPa)

Ifthe water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check ifthe 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 heaW usage.

• Ifyour refrigerator has a water filter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used

in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter.

Ifyou have questions about your water pressure,

call a licensed, qualified plumber.
