- Leave the shelves in place so that children

cannot easily climb inside.

- Children trapped inside a refrigerator can hurt

themselves or suffocate to death.

• Please dispose of the packaging material from

this product in an environmentally friendly

manner.

• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of

the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.

• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant.

Check the compressor label on the rear of

the appliance or the rating label inside the

fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your

refrigerator.

If this product contains ﬂammable gas

(Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local

authority in regard to safe disposal of this

product.

DA68-03029A-10.indb 7 2018. 5. 17. �� 10:41

English - 8

door/door seals and door latch so that small

children or animals cannot become trapped

inside.

Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

If trapped inside, the child may get hurt or

suffocate to death.

• Cyclopentane is used in the insulation. The

gases in the insulation material require a special

disposal procedure. Please contact your local

authorities in regard to the environmentally safe

disposal of this product.

• Keep all packaging materials well out of the

reach of children, as packaging materials can

be dangerous to children.

- If a child places a bag over his or her head, the

child could suffocate.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local

ofﬁce of your Electricity Company and ask how

long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected in an

hour or two will not affect your refrigerator

temperatures. However, you should minimize

the number of door openings while the power

is off.

- Should the power failure last more than 24

hours, remove and discard all frozen food.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures

can become too warm in the frozen food

compartment) when sited for an extended

period of time in a location where ambient

air temperatures are constantly below the

temperatures for which the appliance is

designed.

• In case of particular foods, keeping it under

refrigeration can have a bad effect on

preservation due to its properties.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there

is no need to manually defrost your appliance.

This will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting complies

with ISO requirements. But If you want to

prevent an undue rise in the temperature of

frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap

the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed

completely.

Saving Energy Tips

- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with

adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight

and never put it near a direct source of heat (a

radiator, for example).

- Not to block any vents and grilles is

recommended for energy efﬁciency.

- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it

in the appliance.

- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low temperatures of the

frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.

- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for

too long when putting food in or taking food

out.

The shorter the time the door is open, the less

frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.

- It is recommended to install the refrigerator with

clearance to the back and sides.

This will help reduce power consumption and

keep your energy bills lower.

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED

TO BE USED IN HOUSEHOLD

letting it strike the ﬂoor.

CAUTION

Make sure that you mount the freezer basket in the

right position when removing / installing the freezer

door. Failing to do so may result in the door not

opening or closing properly.

CAUTION

Putting too much food into the freezer drawers can

prevent the freezer from closing completely and

can cause frost build-up.

RE-ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can

make ﬁnal adjustments.

Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both

side to side and back to front.

If the refrigerator is not level, you will not be able

to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause

moisture condensation and increased energy bills.

Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator

if the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the

right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower

basket.

2. Insert a ﬂat-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch on

the left control lever, and then turn it counter-

clockwise to level the refrigerator.

(You turn the lever clockwise to lower the

refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

ﬂat-blade

screwdriver (-)

Control Lever

CAUTION

Both control levers must be touching the ﬂoor to

avoid possible personal injury or property damage

because of tipping.

CAUTION

The refrigerator on an uneven ﬂoor may tilt.

To prevent this, adjust the leg so that it contacts

the ﬂoor.

If the right side is lower, perform the same

procedure, but with the right control lever.

It is difﬁcult to remove the cover leg

front from the refrigerator, so we do not

recommend making small adjustments

with the control lever.

Instead, refer to the next page for the best

way to make minor adjustments to the

doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS

BETWEEN DOORS

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for

getting the doors perfectly even.

If you need help, review the previous section on

leveling the refrigerator.

INSTALLING THE WATER

DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a ﬁlter is one of the helpful

features on your new refrigerator.

To help promote better health, the water ﬁlter

removes unwanted particles from your water.

However, it does not sterilize the water or destroy

microorganisms. You may need to purchase a

water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker.

For the ice maker to operate properly, water

pressure of 20 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is

required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low

water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a

booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, make

sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator

is properly ﬁlled.

To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the

water runs from the water outlet.

Water line installation kits are available at

extra cost from your dealer.

We recommend using a water line

installation kit that contains copper tubing

and a ¼” compression nut.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water

supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and

install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

SETTING UP

1. Connect the household water line to the

assembled compression ﬁtting.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the

compression nut (B) (not supplied) and

ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not

supplied) as shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the

molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B) into

the compression ﬁtting.

CAUTION

Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the

plastic tubing (B).

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the

compression ﬁtting.

Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B) .

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.

If you ﬁnd water drops or leakage in the

connection areas, turn off the main water

supply. Check the connections and, if

necessary, tighten.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the ﬁlter before

drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.

(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)

To ﬂush, press a large glass or cup against the

water dispenser lever.

Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after

it is ﬁlled, and then repeat.

5. After you turn on the refrigerator, and check

Ice maker button, if ice maker off is illuminated,

turns on the ice maker. Then “Ice maker Off”

will be dissaper and then let the ice maker

make ice for 1 to 2 days.

Over that period of time, throw out the ﬁrst 1 or

2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all

impurities have been removed from the water

line.

Only connect the water line to a drinkable

water source.

If you have to repair or disassemble the

water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing

to make sure you get a snug, leak-free

connection.

You can test the water line quickly using a

paper cup. Under normal conditions, the

water dispenser can ﬁll a 5.75oz. (170cc)

cup in about 10 seconds.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed

in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the

features and functions of the appliance.

By completing the following steps, your refrigerator

should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate

location with reasonable clearance between it

and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in

this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure

the interior light comes on when you open the

doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest

temperature and wait for an hour.

The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor

will run smoothly.

Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the

temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will

take a few hours to reach the appropriate

temperature.

You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator

after the temperature is sufﬁciently cool.

If condensation or water drops appear

on both sides of the fridge door’s central

part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after

removing the condensation.

(See the explanation of the Energy Saver

button in “Using the control panel” on

page 19.)
