- This guide covers several different models. The refrigerator you have purchased may have some or all of the features shown above.

OPERATIONS

STARTING

When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

LAMP AUTO OFF FEATURE

When the door is open for 7 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off automatically to save energy and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the door is closed.

BEFORE SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

• The temperature of the refrigerator is kept constant regardless of changes in room temperature. It is recommended that, once set, the temperature settings (the controls for the refrigerator and freezer compartments) not be changed unless necessary.
• This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and one temperature control dial for the freezer compartment.
• The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment is 'Normal'.
• The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is '3'.
• This refrigerator has a temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. It will start and stop the compressor automatically as needed.

DOOR ALARM

When the door of the refrigerator or the freezer is open for 1 minute, an alarm will sound three. It the door remains open, the alarm will repeat every 30 seconds.

SELF TEST

• Your refrigerator contains a built in diagnostic capability. If it develops a malfunction in certain areas, it will display an error code to assist the repair technician. While an error code is displayed, other control and display functions will not operate.
• If an error code is displayed, contact a service center. Do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

FREEZER CONTROL ■ FREEZER MIN ■ NORMAL ■ FREEZER MAX 4 3 2

• The higher number the control setting is, the lower the temperature of the Freezer compartment becomes.
• Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.
• When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter, adjust the control for the freezer to High (4\~7).

- Setting the Freezer Knob at ☐☐☐ will satisfy 4 STAR. Setting the Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORMAL.

OPERATIONS

ICEBEAM DOOR COOLING

• Air vents are located to provide cool air flow to items stored in the door shelves and at the front of the refrigerator shelves.
• If water of foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered owing to the escape of cool air.

ICE MAKING(OPTIONAL)

Choose the type of ice-making system you have.

General Type

• To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place it in the freezer.
• To remove ice cubes, hold the tray at its ends and twist gently.

- To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.

Twisting Ice Serve Type

• To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and insert in its position.
• To remove ice cubes, hold the knob of the tray and turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop in to the ice cube box.

How to use

• As the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is no need for any handling.
• Do not prick the cooling air outlet with a sharp tip because the deodorizing catalyst may be damaged.
• When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because odor may be passed on to other foods.

Re-Using of the catalyst

- Used some length and the odor is strong, the catalyst can be revived and re-used. Separate deodorizer in ceiling of refrigerator compartment, using hair drier to remove moisture or malodor and oxidize under sunlight to decomposing malodor by ultraviolet.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad 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 higher electric bills!
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
• Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing:

Newly Introduced Food

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 the covered container.
• It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the

refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Shelf Vegetable Drawer

• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

CLEANING

It is important that you refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.

Before you clean, however, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands.

EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

WARNING

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts(lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing electric shock.

Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.

- Caution for Cleaning Not in use : Surface active agent, Car wax, Anticorrosive, All sorts of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.

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 life. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

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 screw(s), 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.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

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.

ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT MODIFY OR EXTEND THE POWER CORD LENGTH.

It will cause electric shock or fire.
