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.
If the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time,
pull out the power plug.

MAJOR FEATURES
Beverage Station (optional)
Twin Cooling System
• You do not have to open the main door to access
frequently used food in the extra refrigerating com-
partment. This saves time and money.
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evapora
tors. Given this independent system, the freezer
and the refrigerator are cooled individually as
required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food
odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in
the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air
fresh and odor free.
Multi-Flow System
CoolSelect
• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every
shelf level. This provides even distribution of
cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh
longer.
ZoneTM Drawer
(optional)
• User can select
Soft Freeze, 0 Zone,
Quick Cool, Cool,
Thaw items.
Door Alarm
• A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.
High humidity for fresher food
• You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for
longer because your refrigerator supplies highly
humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five
times more effective than a normal refrigerator.
Energy-saving fridge/freezer
• Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distrib-
uting cool air separately to the refrigerator and
freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The power freeze function allow you to freeze food
more quickly.
Abundant supply of ice and cold water
• The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold
water at any time.
This operation instruction covers various models.
The characteristics of your appliance may differ
slightly from those described in this manual.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE (OPTIONAL)
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 1.4 ~ 10 kgf/cm2 (0.14 ~ 9.8Mpa,
19.9 ~ 142.2 psi, 1.37 ~ 9.8 bars) is required.
In this range a 100 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 1.4kgf/cm2 , 0.14 Mpa,
19.9 psi,1.37bars), you should install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dis
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.
A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manufacturer
recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.
