ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION NEXT
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, cool air enters through the
refrigerator of the freezer section and moves up. Most of
the air then flows through the freezer section vents and
recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air
enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
• Do not block any of these vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interruped and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thorougly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and drying out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide
section for details.)
Note: If you
close the
refrigerator
forcefully, the
freezer
door may open
and close again
due to pressure
from internal air
flow.
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours
before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in
the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER
CONTROLS
The refrigerator and freezer controls are preset to the

light up to indicate the coldness level. The higher the
LED light from the bottom, the colder the refrigerator or
freezer compartment will become.

When changing control settings, wait
24 hours before making additional adjustments.
After 24 hours, adjust the compartments
temperatures as desired. The more lit bars, the
