WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your
product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARNING
TIP-OVER HAZARD
Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator.
To prevent the refrigerator from tipping over, install anti-tip brackets
(provided). Failure to follow the refrigerator installation instructions
can result in serious injury or death.
1. When Connecting the Power
This appliance incorporates an earth connection for functional purposes only.
Use a dedicated outlet.
• Using several devices at one outlet may cause a fire.
Plug in the power plug with the power cord facing downward.
Failure to do so could damage the plug or cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or
damage the power cord. Do not squeeze or crush the cord or plug when
pushing the refrigerator back in.
Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not allow the power cord to be bent, crushed, or damaged. Do not run the
power cord under heavy objects like furniture, other appliances, or through
high-traffic areas.
Doing so may damage the power cord and result in fire or electric shock.
Do not extend or modify the length of the power cord.
Use only an exact factory replacement part to avoid electrical issues, fire, or electric
shock.

Safety Instructions
5
Unplug the power cord or turn off the power when cleaning or moving the
refrigerator.
• Failure to do so may cause electric shock or injury.
• Press the POWER button for 3 seconds to turn off the power at display panel.
Do not pull out the cord or touch the power plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shock or injury.
Remove water or dust from the power plug and insert it securely into the wall
socket.
Dust, water, or a loose connection may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the cord.
Doing so may cause electric shock or short circuit resulting in a fire.
Do not use the power cord or the power plug if it is damaged or if the outlet is
damaged.
Doing so may cause electric shock or short circuit resulting in a fire.
Wait for 5 minutes or longer when reconnecting the plug.
Give the compressor time to cycle before re-starting.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
An individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker must be
used in case of requiring disconnect after installation.

2. When Using the Refrigerator
Do not place heavy or dangerous objects on the refrigerator.
Opening or closing the door may cause objects to fall, resulting in injury, fire, or
electric shock.
Do not install the refrigerator in a damp location or where it will be exposed to
running water.
Deterioration of the insulation on electrical parts may result, causing risk of electric
shock.
Do not allow children to hang on the refrigerator doors, shelves or drawers.
Doing so may cause serious injury.
Do not allow children to climb into the product.
A child's life could be endangered if the child climbs into the refrigerator.
Opening and closing the door of the refrigerator vigorously may cause the
stored food in the door bins to fall.
Do not use or store flammable materials like ether, benzene, alcohol,
medicine, LP gas, sprays, or cosmetics near or in the refrigerator.
Doing so may cause explosion or fire.
Do not use a hair drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle to remove odor.
Doing so may cause explosion or fire.
The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the
compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.
Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the
appliance specifications. If you wish to minimize the impact this may have on
the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in
several layers.

Safety Instructions
7
Do not use combustible sprays (including cooking sprays, oils and other
aerosol products) on or near the refrigerator.
Doing so may cause a fire.

Safety Instructions
ENGLISH

Install the refrigerator on a solid and level floor.
If the refrigerator tips when opening or closing the door, it could fall over, causing
property damage and personal injury.
Do not put hands, feet, or metal objects into the air vents or cover, or below or
behind the refrigerator.
Doing so may result in electric shock or injury.
Do not step on the pipe under the freezer door.
Doing so may cause electric shock or injury.
Connect to potable water supply only.
Non-potable water can cause health risks.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time delay fuse.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.
If disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release the refrigerant, you may be
fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the
pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid
any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in
which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable 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.
The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every
8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of
refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any
signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Operation
ENGLISH

Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes) and water
(about 7 glasses) 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.
Children should be supervised when using the dispenser.
Be careful that frost does not block the ice passage.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used.
Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the
passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent
frost buildup.
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of
rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages.
Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.
Part breakage or injury may occur.
Never remove the icemaker cover.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If
the problem continues, contact service center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
CAUTION

Operation

Shelf
The shelves in the refrigerator are adjustable to meet
individual storage needs.
1. Lift the front of the shelf slightly.

other.
Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or food
spilling.
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf
hooks into the slots at a desired height. Then, lower
the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the
slots.
