• 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 AC115-120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

• A location with easy access to a water supply.

• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• A location with a leveled ﬂoor.

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

• A location that allows sufﬁcient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.

• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.

06_ setting up

DA68-02520A-13.indb 6 2013. 12. 2. �� 5:08

If the refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

When you install the refrigerator next to a ﬁxed wall, you need a minimum clearance of 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its ﬁnal location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make ﬁnal adjustments. Use a level to test if the reﬁgerator is level both side to side and back to front.

setting up _09

DA68-02520A-13.indb 9 2013. 12. 2. �� 5:08

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.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket. (See to page 9)

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN DOORS

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

2. Remove the two screws

(1) attached to the front leg cover (2) with a Philips screwdriver (+).

3. Remove the front leg cover (2) by lifting the bottom part of the front leg cover up and pulling it out.

4. 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.)

2. Insert the supplied allen wrench (3/16”) (3) into the shaft (4) of the lower hinge.

3. Adjust the height by turning the hex wrench (3) clockwise (

It is difﬁcult to remove the front leg cover 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 fastener are enclosed with the refrigerator. The thickness of each fastener is 0.04”.

1. Locate the height-adjuster (1) in the freezer drawer. Unscrew the 8 Phillips screws (2) slightly to loosen the door.

2. Loosen the controller screw (3) with a Phillips screwdriver (+).

3. Find the best level to align the door slope.

• After adjustment, tighten the controller screw (3) and then the philips screws.

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 or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.

In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi is required.

Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be ﬁlled in about 10 seconds.

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 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 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.

Connecting the water supply line to the refrigerator.

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 water on and check for any leakage. If you ﬁnd water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if nescessary, 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. Fill the 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.

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.

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.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.

3. 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.

4. 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 appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. (See the explanation on Energy Saver button in the USING THE CONTROL PANEL.)
