OPERATION
Starting
When your refrigerator is first installed, allow to
run 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating
temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen
foods.
If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before
restarting.
Temperature Control
❒REFRIGERATOR
■Your refrigerator has two controls that let you
regulate the temperature in the freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
■Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL
at 5 and the FREEZER CONTROL at 2.
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day)
to stabilize.
Then adjust the compartment temperature
according to your desire.
■REFRIGERATOR CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8
The higher the number setting, the colder the
refrigerator compartment will become.
■To turn the refrigerator off, turn the dial to the
right to the word “off”.
❒FREEZER
■FREEZER CONTROL - 1, 2, 3
Setting at 3, the freezer compartment
becomes colder.
But the refrigerator compartment becomes
warmer because less cold air flows into the
refrigerator compartment.
■In cold weather the unit operates less and
the freezer compartment has a tendency to
warm up.
For a colder freezer, turn the FREEZER
CONTROL to 3.
■If you put a lot of food in the freezer or open
its door frequently, its temperature is apt to
be somewhat higher. In this case, set the
FREEZER CONTROL dial at 3 to cool it.
Return the FREEZER CONTROL dial to the
original position to cut down the consumption
of energy.
■In hot weather or if a lot of food is put in
the refrigerator compartment, the
refrigerator compartment has a tendency to
warm up.
For a colder refrigerator, turn the FREEZER
CONTROL to 1 to direct more cold air into
the refrigerator compartment, and the
REFRIGERATOR CONTROL to 6~8.
If the FREEZER CONTROL is set at 3, the
refrigerator compartment will not be cold
enough.

Defrosting
■Defrosting takes place automatically.
■Defrosted water flows down to the
evaporating tray which is located in the lower
back side of the refrigerator and is
evaporated automatically.
Adjusting the Crisper
Humidity Control
You can control the amount of humidity in the
moisture-sealed crispers. Adjust the control to
any setting between Veg. and Fruit.
■Fruit (open) lets moist air out of the crisper
for best storage of fruits.
■Veg. (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper
for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Freezer Shelf
Lift the front side of the shelf slightly and pull it
forward to remove it.
Adjusting Shelves

SUGGESTIONS ON
FOOD STORAGE
Storing Food
■Store fresh food in the refrigerator
compartment. How food is frozen and
defrosted is an important factor in
maintaining freshness and flavor.
■Do not store food which spoils easily at low
temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples,
and melons.
■Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing
hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other
food, and lead to high electricity bills!
■When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in
a covered container. This prevents moisture
from evaporating, and helps food to keep its
taste and nutritional value.
■Do not block air vents with food. Smooth
circulation of chilled air keeps the refrigerator
temperature even.
■Do not open the door frequently. Opening the
door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
causing temperature to rise.
■To adjust the temperature control easily, do
not store food near the temperature control
dial.
Freezer Compartment
■Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment - they may break when frozen.
■Do not refreeze food that has been
defrosted. This causes loss of taste and
nutritional value.
■When storing frozen food, like ice cream, for
a long period, place it on the freezer shelf,
not in the door rack.
Refrigerator Compartment
■Avoid placing moist food on deep interior
refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon
direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this, it
is better to store food in a covered container.
■Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped
clean, to prevent other food from spoiling.
■If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and
humid place, frequently opening the door
or putting a lot of vegetables in it may
cause dew to form. This has no effect on
its performance. Remove the dew with a
dry, dust-free cloth.
■If droplets form beneath the cover of the
vegetable drawer, keep vegetables or
fruits wrapped with plastic wrap.

■To help remove odors, you
can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of
baking soda and warm water.
Mix 2 tablespoons soda to 1
quart of water (26 g soda to 1
liter water.) Be sure the soda
is completely dissolved so it
is not abrasive and doesn’t
scratch the surfaces of the
refrigerator.
■Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on
plastic parts.
■Do not use paper towels,
window sprays, abrasive
cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or
damage material.
■Remove base grille. (See
the Base grille section on
page 6.)
■Use a vacuum with an
extended attachment to
clean condenser coils.
■Vacuum coils when dusty or
dirty.
Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every
other month.
■Replace base grille.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
Vacation Time
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer storage.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
■Disconnect the power cord or set refrigerator
Dial knob to off position.
■ Remove all food and other items from the unit.
■Clean the unit thoroughly.
■Leave the shelves in the unit to discourage
children from playing in the unit.
■Leave the doors open and block them to
ensure that they cannot be closed.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or
two and will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
During power failures of longer duration, place a
block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn
them all the way into the base.
Anti-Condensation Pipe
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm, especially just after
installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the
anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant
to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.
■Dry ice is very cold! Do not allow it to
touch bare skin. It is well below 0 °F and
will cause immediate frostbite and damage
to the skin and other tissue.
■Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Use only
in a well ventilated area. As the ice
releases carbon dioxide vapor, it could
cause light-headedness, fainting,
suffocation, or death.

Instruction Guide
❒Connecting the Refrigerator to a
Water Source
Read all directions carefully before you
begin.
❒ Tools required:
■Standard screwdriver
■7/16 - inch and 1/2 - inch open-end wrenches
or two adjustable wrenches
■1/4 - inch nut driver
■ 1/4 - inch drill bit
■Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
❒ Cold Water Supply:
The ice maker water valve contains a flow
washer which is used as a water pressure
regulator.
The ice maker needs to be connected to a
cold water line with water pressure 207 ~
827 kPa (30 ~ 120 psi).
If a problem occurs, call your utility
company.
Connect to potable water supply only.
ww
WARNING
IMPORTANT
■If operating the refrigerator before
installing the water connection, turn ice
maker to the OFF position to prevent
operation without water.
■All installations must be in accordance
with local plumbing code requirements.
■Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
■Install copper tubing only in areas where

supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF shut - off valve on the water
pipe. Coil copper tubing.
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following
precaution must be taken: Drill on the top
side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will
help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting
in the valve.

❒ Automatic Ice Maker
■The automatic ice maker can automatically
make 14 pieces of ice cube at a time, 110-
120 pieces a day.
But these quantities may be varied according
to various conditions including how many
times the refrigerator door opens and closes.
■Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is
full.
❒ When Ice Maker does not operate
smoothly
Ice is clumped together
■ When ice is clumped together, take the ice
clumps out of the ice storage bin, break them
into small pieces, and then place them into
the ice storage bin again.
■ When the ice maker produces too small or
clumped ice, the amount of water supplied to
the ice maker need to adjusted. Contact the
service center.
■ If ice is not used frequently, it may clump
together.
Power failure
■ Water may drop into the freezer
compartment. Take the ice storage bin out
and discard all the ice then dry it and place it
back.
The unit is newly installed
■ It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice in the freezer
compartment.
Throw away the ice (about 20 pieces) first
made after refrigerator installation.
The first ice and water may include particles
or odor from the feed water pipe or feed
water box.
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other foods in
ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid
cooling.
Such actions may damage the automatic ice
maker.
Never remove the ice maker cover.
Sometimes level the surface so that the ice
storage bin is fully filled with ice.
Ice may pile up just around the ice maker
causing the ice maker to think that the ice
storage bin is ful.
If discolored ice is dispensed, immediately
contact Service Center. Do not use until
problem is solved.
ww
CAUTION
It is nomal that a noise is produced when ice
made is dropped into the ice storage bin.
