/_ SEVERE WARNING SIGNS

WA.N,NGFOR INSTALLATION

• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp

place or place where it may come in contact with water.

Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may

cause an electric shock or fire.

• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose to the heat from stoves, room

heaters or other appliance.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same

multiple power strip. The refrigerator should

always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that

matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator's rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring

circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the

power plug.

There is a risk of electric shock of fire.

• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

• Do not bend the power cord excessively or

place heavy articles on it.

• Do not twist or tie the power cord.

• Do not hook the power cord over a metal object, place a heavy object on the power

cord, insert the power cord between objects, or push the power cord into the space behind

the appliance. When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to

roll over or damage the power cord

This may result in an electric shock or fire.

• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull

straight out from the outlet.

Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit,

fire and/or electric shock.

• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator. Aerosols used near the refrigerator may cause

an explosion or fire.

• Do not install this appliance near a heater,

inflammable material.

• Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily or dusty location, in a location exposed to direct

sunlight and water (rain drops).

• Do not install this appliance in a location where gas may leak.

This may result in an electric shock or fire.

film before you initially plug the product in.

[_ • The refrigerator must be safely

grounded. Always make sure that you have

grounded the refrigerator before attempting to investigate or repair any part of the appliance. Power leakages

can cause severe electric shock.

Never use gas pipes, telephone lines or other

potential lightning attractors as an electrical ground.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result

in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding

plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating

of the extension cord should be AC115-120 V,

10 A, or more. Ifa grounding adapter is used,

make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

• Ifthe power cord is damaged,

have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the

refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. Ifthe refrigerator is not level, it will not be

possible to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause moisture condensation and increased

energy bills. Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator ifthe left side of the refrigerator is

lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket.

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-)into a notch on the left control lever, and turn it count clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the

lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

ICE MAKER OPERATION

The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per cycle

- approximately 100+130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the

feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the icemaker

resumes operation.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

Ifice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink. So if you don't want to make ice, press the Ice Off

button.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments

The basic temperature and recommended temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator

Compartments are 0 °F and 37 °F(or -18 °C and 3 °C) respectively. If the temperature of the

Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are too

high or low, adjust the temperature manually.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between 5 °F(-15 °C) and -8 °F(-23 °C) to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button

repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in mind that

foods like ice cream may melt at 4 °F(-15 °C).

The temperature display will move sequentially from -8 °F(-23 °O) to 5 °F(-15 o©).

When the display reaches 5°F(-15°C), it will begin again at -8 °F(-23 °O).

Five seconds after the new temperature isset, the

display will again show the actual current freezer temperature until the new temperature is reached.

The temperature of the Freezer or the

Refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too frequently, or if a large amount

of warm or hot food is placed in either side.

This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator temperature return to their normal set

temperatures, the blinking will stop. If the blinking continues, you may need to

"reset" the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance, wait for around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in.

Controlling the Refrigerator temperature

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 44 °F(7 °O) and 34 °F(1 °O) to suit your particular needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the

desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.

The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process.

Press the Fridge button to set your desired

temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin adjusting towards the newly set

temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
