English

• Before operating the appliance, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for your reference.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your appliance.

• Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from those described in this manual. 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. When this product contains ﬂ ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.

• In order to avoid the creation of a ﬂ ammable gas-air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1m³ in size for every 8g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identiﬁ cation plate inside the appliance.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked ﬂ ames and move anything ﬂ ammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

- Failing to do so may result in ﬁ re or explosion.

SEVERE WARNING SIGNS FOR DISPOSAL

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS:

Page 8

- 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 (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 time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

Saving Energy Tips

2. The Installation Space

Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator

• A location with easy access to the water supply.

• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• A location with level (or nearly level) ﬂ ooring.

• A location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily.

• Allow sufﬁ cient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation. If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.

• Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of maintenance & service.

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

• Do not install the refrigerator in locations where the temperature is over 109 °F (43 °C) or below 41 °F (5 °C ).

When moving your refrigerator

To prevent ﬂ oor damage be sure the front leveling legs are in the up position(above the ﬂ oor). Refer to “HOW TO LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR” in the manual.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the ﬂ ooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 412 lb (187kg). To protect the ﬁ nish of the ﬂ ooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push back in straight.

5. Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

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

• 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?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• 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.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• 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.

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

• 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.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• 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.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

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

There is a bad smell in 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.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• 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?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• 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.

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• 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.
