- If the refrigerant gas has leaked, do not touch the fridge or the power outlet and ventilate the room immediately. A spark could trigger an explosion causing a fire or burns. Because this fridge uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly refrigerant, even a small amount (50\~60g) is combustible. If gas leaks from severe damage during delivering, installing or using the fridge, any spark may cause fire or burns.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

CAUTiON

Installation

• The fridge must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the fridge.
• Be careful when you unpack and install the fridge. Immediately dispose of packing materials (plastic) out of reach of children.

Use

• Close the doors carefully when children are around.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• If food is stacked or stored poorly on the shelves, it may fall and cause injury when the door is opened.
• Do not move fridge while the fridge is operating. A Compressor rattling noise may occur as a result and will only stop when the compressor cycles off, or when the power to the unit is turned off and back on again. (This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor. The rattling will stop after the compressor comes to a rest.)

Maintenance

• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
• Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas before connecting.

WARNiNg

- Use drinkable water for ice making.

WARNiNg

• 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 food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also 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 1m^2 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.

INSTALLATION

Installation Overview

Please read the following installation instructions first after purchasing this product or transporting it to another location.

SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING

• Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
• Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
• Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.

Unpacking Your Fridge

WARNiNg

• Use two or more people to move and install the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the fridge straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the fridge when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur. Wind the leveling feet up first so that the unit is on its rollers.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the fridge. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your fridge before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the fridge.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your fridge.

Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

- The fridge should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 220 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNiNg

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the fridge in a wet or damp area. do not install in any outdoor or sheltered outdoor location or direct sunlight.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. Poorly constructed timber flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See Leveling and door Alignment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an indoor area where the temperature is between 55^ F ( 13^ C) and 110^ F ( 43^ C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, the cooling ability may be adversely affected.

1 Place your appliance where it is easy to use.
2 Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3 To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge -freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) from the rear wall.
4 To avoid vibrations, the appliance must be leveled.
5 Don't install the appliance below 41^ (5^) . It may affect the performance.

Fridge Basket Store beverages, water, etc. Big Fresh Zone Preserve vegetables and fruits. Tilting Fresh Basket Preserve short term ready to eat vegetables. Ice Maker If necessary, preserve ices made in icemaker. Freezer Basket Preserve small packaged frozen food or frequently-taken out foods. Drawer (1) Preserve small packaged frozen food or frequently-taken out foods. Drawer(2) Preserve frozen food to keep it long.

Food Preservation Location (Applicable to some models only) (continued)

Dairy Product Bin Store diary foods such as butter, cheese, etc. Folding Shelf Fold a shelf to store large-sized container or food. Door-In-Door Preserve frequently-taken out foods such as beverages, snacks, etc. Extra Space Preserve small foods such as eggs, ham, etc. Fresh Zone It is possible to keep fresh some food for long-term storage for a long time without the odor mixed with other food. This container can be stored in the refrigeration chamber or freezer chamber according to the food in the container.

CAUTiON

• Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the fridge. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
• Wash food before storing it in the fridge. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
• If the fridge is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the fridge may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
• If the fridge doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the fridge and raise its temperature. It can also increase the fridge's electricity usage.

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the fridge should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the fridge turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the fridge.

Food Storage Tips

* The following tips may not be applicable depending on the model.

Wrap or store food in the fridge in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the fridge. For dated products, check use by dates to ensure freshness.

Food How to
Butter or Margarine	Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese	Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or prepare fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a fridge shelf.
Leafy Vegetables	Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)	Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
Leftovers	Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE

Check a freezer food guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

NOTE

Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any kind as they can explode or shatter.

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the fridge and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
  • Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
  • Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers
  • Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Adjusting the Fridge Shelves

The shelves in your fridge are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have either glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the fridge door is open which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight up. Pull the shelf out.

Diagram illustrating a hand holding a tablet with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or force.

Refitting the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height. Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating motion or assembly.

CAUTiON

Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or spilling food.

Using the Folding Shelf

You can store taller items, such as containers or bottles, by simply pushing the front half of the shelf underneath the back half of the shelf. Pull the front of the shelf firmly toward you to return to a full shelf.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Fridge and Freezer section are not cooling.	The fridge display control is set to OFF (some models).	Cancel the OFF mode so that the unit commences operation. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings, or call Customer Service if OFF remains on the Display panel.
	Fridge is in the defrost cycle. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly. Wait 40 minutes to confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
	Fridge was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
	Fridge was recently relocated. If the fridge was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the fridge to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Cooling System runs too much.	Fridge is replacing an older model.	Modern fridges require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
	Fridge was recently plugged in or power restored.	The fridge will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
	Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.	Adding food and opening the door warms the fridge, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the fridge back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the fridge at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
	Doors are not closed completely.	Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
	Fridge is installed in a hot location.	The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures 70^(21^) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The fridge should not be operated above 110^(43^) .
	Condenser / back cover is clogged.	Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. Disconnect the mains before cleaning.
Fridge or Freezer section is too warm.	Fridge was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
	Air vents are blocked. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment. Refer to the Airflow diagram in the Using Your Fridge section.
	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Unit is installed in a hot location. The fridge should not be operated in temperatures above 110°F(43°C).
	A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment. Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge will reduce this effect.
	Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
	Temperature control is not set correctly. If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
	Defrost cycle has recently completed. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 40 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Interior moisture buildup.	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.	When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly section in the Troubleshooting section.
	Weather is humid. Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
	Defrost cycle recently completed.	During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may be raised slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 40 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
	Food is not packaged correctly.	Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing in the fridge compartment.	Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.	Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
	Fridge temperature control is set incorrectly.	If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
	Fridge is installed in a cold location.	When the fridge is operated in temperatures below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the fridge compartment. The fridge should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).
Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package).	Door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.	When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section.
Fridge or Freezer section is too cold.	Incorrect temperature control settings.	If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
Frost or ice crystals on frozen food (inside of sealed package).	Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package.	This is normal for food items with a high water content.
	Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of time.	Do not store food items with high water content in the freezer for a long period of time.
Clicking The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or fridge control on some models) will also click when cycling on and off.		Normal Operation
Rattling Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line on the back of the unit, or items stored on top of or around the fridge.		Normal Operation
Whooshing Evaporator fan motor is circulating air through the fridge and freezer compartments.		Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need to be adjusted. See the Door Alignment section.

Dripping Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.		Normal Operation
Pulsating or High-Pitched Sound	Your fridge is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new fridge to run longer than your old one, but it is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the fridge is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.	Normal Operation
Doors will not close correctly or pop open.	Food packages are blocking the door open.	Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves.
	Ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are out of position.	Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Using Your Fridge section for more information.
	The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.	Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Fridge Handles and Doors section.
	Fridge is not leveled properly. See	Door Alignment in the Height adjustment section to level fridge.
Doors are difficult to open.	The gaskets are dirty or sticky.	Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
	Door was recently closed. When	you open the door, warmer air enters the fridge. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
Fridge wobbles or seems unstable.	Leveling legs are not adjusted properly.	Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
	Floor is not level. It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling legs or rollers to complete installation.
Lights do not work.	LED interior lighting failure. The fridge compartment lamp is LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
