Operation
Filling of
WATER TANK
1.After turning the HANDLE Tank backward with the
WATER TANK installed at the DOOR, Open the CAP
TANK (SMALL) and then fill water using a kettle etc.
* Fill water while watching a sight glass on the front
of the WATER TANK.
* Water up to 4.5ℓ can be filled.

Caution
Do not use other beverage (milk, juice, carbonated
beverage etc) than spring water. Especially beverage
including grain must not be used (may result in
failure).
Storing Food
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
Suggestions on food storage

If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid
place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
