(referto installationinstructionsin this man-
nal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when

you open the doors.

Twin Cooling System

• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this
independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled
individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor

from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to sepa-

rate of air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This
provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your

food fresh longer.

Setthe temperaturecontrolto the coldest
temperatureandwait for an hour.The
freezershould getslightly chilled andthe
motor shouldrun smoothly.

Oncethe refrigeratortemperatureissuffi-
cientlylow, youcan storefood in the

refrigerator.Afterstarting the refrigerator,it
takesa few hoursto reach the appropriate

temperature.

Xtra Space TM

• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space

for pizza etc.

Door Alarm

•A beeper reminds if you the door is left open.

Xtra Fresh TM

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer

• Reusable twin deodorizers keep the refrigerator air fresh and

odor free.

CoolSelect Zone TM Drawer(RS2555, RS2577)

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw, or Soft Freeze to quickly chill
items, thaw items, or keep meat and cheeses fresh longer. Select

1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi is required.
In this range a 170 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.

2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.

3) If the refrigerator is installed in area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a boost-
er pump to compensate for the low pressure.

4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially, push the water dis
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.

•Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for
efficient air circulation.

• Is the door closed properly?

No water is supplied

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

• Is the water supply line crushed?
