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.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the 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.

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.
To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the
water runs from the water outlet.
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 1A"compression nut.

There are several items that you need to purchase
to complete this connection.
You may find these items sold as a kit at your local
hardware store.

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.
Ifyou find 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 filter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
To flush, press a large glass or cup against the
water dispenser lever.
Fillthe glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after
it is filled, 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 first 1 or
2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all
impurities have been removed from the water
line.
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.
Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it
and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in
this manual.
Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure
the interior light comes on when you open the
doors.
Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour.
The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor
will run smoothly.
Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the
temperatures you want.
After you plug the refrigerator in, it will
take a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.
You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator
after the temperature is sufficiently cool.
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 19.)
Only connect the water line to a drinkable
®
water source.
Ifyou 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 fill a 5.75 oz. (170 cc)
cup in about 10 seconds.

Water
clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator flows
through the core filter which is an alkaline
water filter.
In the filtering process, the pressure of
the water that has flowed out of the filter
is increased, and the water becomes
saturated with oxygen and nitrogen.
When this water flows out into the air, the
pressure plummets and the oxygen and
nitrogen get supersaturated, which results
in gas bubbles.
The water may temporarily look misty or
cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles.
After a few seconds, the water will look
clear.
/K CAUTION
When you insert the Ice maker tray, be sure that
the tray is well centered at the entrance.
Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.
