LEVEL EHT GNITSUJDA

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make ﬁ nal adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. If the 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 if the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right side.

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 ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ lls 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. If ice 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°C) to 5°F(-15°C). When the display reaches 5°F(-15°C), it will begin again at -8°F(-23°C). Five seconds after the new temperature is set, 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°C) and 34°F(1°C) 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 reﬂ ected in the digital display.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufﬁ ciently.

The food in the fridge is frozen.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

Water dispenser is not functioning.

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge

inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.

• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.

• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving

those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because

various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors (for example, ﬁ sh) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufﬁ cient space between the stored foods for efﬁ cient air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?

• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system

usually works properly again.

• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door.
