NEW GENERATION SUMMARY

The New Generation models (28’ and BIS24’) supplement the Current Generation models (20’, 22’, and

25’) and are planned for introduction in January 1997. The G/K2 line provides a non-transformerized,

improved performance refrigerator for the European/Asian market. Other improvements of the New

Gen G/K2 line over the Current Gen G/K1 line include decreased noise, decrease external and internal

sweat, and increased internal volume per given footprint. Appearance-wise, the most noticeable

difference of the New Gen models is the rounded edges of the freezer and fresh food doors.

RATING PLATE

The rating plate is located at the top of the

fresh food liner, near the right front corner.

In addition to the refrigerator model and

serial numbers, the rating plate specifies the

minimum installation clearances; the electrical

voltage, frequency, and amperage ratings; and the

refrigerant type and charge quantity.

The model and serial numbers of the refrigerator

are also located on a bar-code label at the rear of

the cabinet.

KOREAN RATING PLATE (K-Line only)

The Korean rating plate is located on the right-

hand side of the outer cabinet. It shows KIAA

approval #, model #, total volume, fresh food

volume, freezer volume, motor input watts, defrost

heater watts and manufacture date (year/month).

ISO RATING PLATE

The ISO rating plate is located to the right of the traditional rating plate on the upper side of the fresh

food liner. Besides the model #, voltage, amperage, input watts, installation clearances, and refrigerant

charge, it contains unique information such as gross volume, freezing capacity, fresh food net volume,

freezer net volume, and frozen food storage area net volume. There is also a class designator which

identifies the ambient test condition range for its given ISO rating. On Korean models, the logos,

symbols or numbers for the international regulatory agencies/code boards that have approved the model

are shown.

KOREAN ENERGY LABEL (K-Line only)

The Korean energy label is located near the top of the outer fresh food door. It contains information

necessitated by two laws-- the Energy Consumption Control Law (upper half of label) and the Electric

Appliance Safety Control Law (lower half of label). The upper area has numbers ranging from 5 to 1,

where the lower the number, the better the energy rating. The lower half of the label specifies model

number, approval number, volume capacity, and monthly energy consumption.

MINI-MANUAL™

The Mini-Manual is located behind the base grille, at the left side, near the front of the machine

compartment. A plastic pin fastener is used to secure the Mini-Manual during shipping. Accordingly,

1997 REFRIGERATORS GLOBAL NEW GENERATION

SxS

after the refrigerator has been installed in the consumer’s home, it is not necessary to reinstall the

fastener. After using the Mini-Manual, it should be returned to its original location for future use.

CABINET STRUCTURE

The outer case (top and sides) is made of prepainted steel with a textured finish. The fresh food and

freezer liners are made of prepainted steel with a smooth finish. The outer case and doors are

insulated with urethane foam.

A plastic breaker frame, fitted to the front of the

outer case and over the edges of the freezer and

fresh food liners, is foamed-in-place. This

reduces the transfer of heat from the room into

the freezer and fresh food compartments. The

breaker frame is not removable and not

replaceable.

The fresh food and freezer door gaskets are

compression type with fiberglass inserts

(rather than magnetic) because the breaker

frame, at the front flanges of the cabinet, is non-

magnetic.

Bar magnets mounted to the base channel and

steel strikes mounted to the bottom of the doors

hold the doors in a closed position. Soft pads

positioned over the strikes prevent damage to

shoes or injury to feet when the doors are

opened.

Externally, the most noticeable difference from

previous models is the rounded edges of the

freezer and fresh food doors −at the left and

right sides.

Internal features are similar to other 1994 side-

by-side Profile™ models. Cantilever glass

shelves are provided in the fresh food

compartment. The freezer compartment is

equipped with cantilever wire shelves and baskets.

Base Grille

The base grille is attached to the cabinet with two spring

steel retainers that grip into elongated openings of the

base channel. To remove the grille, pull it straight

forward.

Door Closure Mechanism

Door closure mechanisms assist in closing the

fresh food and freezer doors. The closure

mechanism consists of a lever, mounted with a

spring to the base channel, which interacts with a

cam mounted to the bottom of each door with two

screws. When the door is closed to about the 45°

position, the lever contacts the cam with a slight

amount of resistance. As the door is closed

further, a small roller in the end of the lever glides

over the lobe of the cam and pulls the door closed.

The levers and cams are specifically left-hand and

right-hand, but the springs are the same for both

sides.

To remove the levers and springs, first remove the

base grille. Then, grip the end of the spring firmly

with pliers and unhook it from the notch in the base

channel. (Slip-joint or locking type pliers are

recommended.) Grasp the spring and hold onto it

while pulling the lever and the spring through the

opening in the base channel. Unhook the spring

from the notch in the lever. Upon reinstallation,

grasp the spring and hold onto it while inserting the

spring and lever through the opening in the base

channel.

Rollers

Rollers at the base of the cabinet enable the consumer to easily move the refrigerator. The front rollers

are adjustable to permit leveling the cabinet. The adjustment screws, located behind the base grille,

have 3/8-inch hex-heads that are also slotted (for use of a large blade screwdriver). The rear rollers are

not adjustable.

To remove a front roller assembly from the base of the cabinet, tilt the cabinet and place 3-inch blocks

under the side of the outer case. Remove the three 1/4-inch hex-head screws to dismount the bracket.

Then, loosen the adjustment screw to disengage the nut and withdraw the roller assembly from the

cabinet.

Remove the E-Ring to disassemble the adjustment

screw from the base channel. Upon reinstallation of

the roller assembly, to facilitate installing the

adjustment screw, position the nut so that the flared

thread is toward the rear.

Door Hinges

Torx head (T-20) screws are used to mount the

top and bottom hinges for both doors.

Mounting holes in all four hinges are not

elongated. Accordingly, the hinges are not

adjustable. When reinstalling the hinges,

tighten the screws to 60 in-lbs. (6.8 newton-

meters). Avoid over-tightening to prevent

stripping.

The top hinges for the fresh food and freezer

doors are identical. However, the bottom

hinges are specifically left-hand and right-hand.

The bottom hinge pin for the fresh food door is

adjustable, up or down, to permit aligning the

fresh food door height evenly with the freezer

door. A hexagonal impression in the lower end

of the hinge pin allows use of a 3/16-inch Allen

wrench to adjust the pin. A nylon plug,

imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the

pin from rotating (tightening or loosening) as

the door is opened and closed.

The hinge pin at the bottom of the freezer door

is not adjustable.

Door Gaskets

The compression type gaskets are secured to

the fresh food and freezer doors with 2-sided tape. Once the gasket has been removed, it cannot be

reattached successfully. Accordingly, a new gasket will be required. When handling the replacement

gasket, avoid bending it to prevent creasing the sealing surface, which would result in an appearance

blemish.

To replace the gasket, first remove the door from the refrigerator and place it horizontally on a protected

surface. Then, beginning at one corner, peel the gasket from the door (a putty knife may be helpful in

releasing the gasket).
