INSTALLATION
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be
sure to protect the floor. The refrigerator
has rollers. Wind in the leveling feet and
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the
refrigerator when trying to move it, as
floor damage could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator 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 refrigerator, behind the base grille.
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 refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
Select a place where a water supply can
be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between
150kpa to 500kpa on models without
a water filter, and 200kpa ~ 500kpa on
models with a water filter when connecting
to the refrigerators connection point. If
in doubt, contact a plumber to check and
install a water pressure reduction valve if
necessary.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 240 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 refrigerator in a wet or damp
area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the front 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. (See Leveling
and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.
