service center.

Place the refigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the refigerator.

(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on when you open the doors.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it takes a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.

MAJOR FEATURES

Twin Cooling System

• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. 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.

Multi-Flow System

• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.

Xtra SpaceTM

• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for pizza etc.

Door Alarm

• Beeper reminds you that the door is open.

Xtra FreshTM

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer

• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

CoolSelect ZoneTM Drawer (RS2555, RS2577)

•User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons for quickly chill, thaw and cools items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control the temperature of drawer.
