cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight
or expose it to the heat from stoves, room
heaters, or other appliances.
• 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 of house wiring
circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the
power plug.

this product in an environmentally friendly
manner.
• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of
the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant.
Check the compressor label on the rear of
the appliance or the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your
refrigerator.
If this product contains fl ammable gas
(Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local
authority in regard to safe disposal of this
product.
• When disposing of this refrigerator, remove the

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
offi ce 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 If you 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 in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food in the 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.

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, you will not be able
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.
How to adjust the level
1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower
basket.
2. Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver (-) into the
notch on the left control lever, and then turn it
counter-clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You
turn the lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator
and counterclockwise to raise it.)
MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE DOORS
A leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the
doors perfectly even. For leveling instructions,
review the previous section on leveling the
refrigerator.
Fixed part
The left door is fi xed.
To make minor adjustments to the doors,
adjust only the right door.
1. Pull out the Convertible door (1) to expose the
lower hinge (2).

CAUTION
Both control levers must be touching the fl oor to

If the right side is lower, perform the same
procedure, but with the right control lever.
It is diffi cult to remove the cover leg
front from the refrigerator, so we do not
recommend making small adjustments
with the control lever.
Instead, refer to the next page for the best
way to make minor adjustments to the
doors.
2. Insert a philips screwdriver (+) (3) into the shaft

to insert depends on the gap.

refrigerator.
The thickness of each fastener is 0.04”.
WARNING
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the fastener.
- There is a risk of death from suffocation if a
child swallows the fastener.
Pay special attention to children because it can
be dangerous.
Keep the fastener out of reach of children.
Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper tubing
and a ¼” compression nut.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water
supply.
2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and
install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator.
To help promote better health, the water fi lter
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 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is
required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), 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 fi lled.
To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the
water runs from the water outlet.

SETTING UP
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.
If you fi nd water drops or leakage in the
connection areas, turn off the main water
supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the fi lter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
To fl ush, press a large glass or cup against the
water dispenser lever.
Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after
it is fi lled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice
maker make ice for 1 to 2 days.
Over that period of time, throw out the fi rst 1 or
2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all
impurities have been removed from the water
line.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable
water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the
water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing
to make sure you get a snug, leak-free
connection.
You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup. Under normal conditions, the
water dispenser can fi ll a 5.75oz. (170cc)
cup in about 10 seconds.

If condensation or water drops appear
on both sides of the fridge door’s central
part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after
removing the condensation.
(See the explanation of the Energy Saver
button in “Using the Control Panel” on
page 84.)
