Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
1. When connecting the power
The dedicated outlet should be used.
• Using several devices at one outlet may cause fire.
The electric leakage breaker may
damage food and the dispenser may be leaked.
Do not allow the power plug to face upward or to be squeezed at the back of the fridge-freezer.
Water may be flown into or the plug may be damaged, which causes fire or electric shock.
Do not allow the power cord bent or pressed by the heavy object to be damaged.

• When replacing the interior lamp of
the fridge-freezer, make sure that the rubber ring for preventing the electric spark within the socket is not taken off.
5
Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
Do not pull out the cord or touch the power plug with wet hands.
• It may cause electric shock or injury.
Remove water or dust from the power plug and insert it with the ends of the pins securely connected.
Dust, water or unstable connection may fire or electric shock.
Make sure of grounding. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded or not.
The incorrect grounding may cause
breakdown and electric shock.
Be sure to use grounded exclusive
It becomes the cause of fire.
When the power cord or the power plug is
damaged or the holes of the outlet are loosed, do
not use them.

(Earthing)
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload. The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.
13
Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a 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. The room must be
2
1m
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the
appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Installation
Installation
1.
Select a good location. Place your fridge-freezer where it is easy to use.
2.
Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3.
There must be proper air circulation around your fridge-freezer to keep it operating efficiently.
4.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise( ) to raise the unit, clockwise( ) to lower it.
5.
Clean your fridge-freezer thoroughly and wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping.
6.
Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their proper places.They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
7.
Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
Starting
8.
To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge ­freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.
When your fridge-freezer is installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods. If power plug is disconnected, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting. Your fridge-freezer is now ready for use.

• This function automatically detects failure when failure is found in product during the use of refrigerator.
• If the failure occurs at product and it does not operate by pressing any button and normal indication is not done, do not turn the power off and immediately contact with the local service center.
• A lot of time is needed for service engineer to detect the failed part by turning it off.
• To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray to the water level and place it in the freezer.
• If ice cubes are required fast,
set the ‘SUPER FRZ.’ state.
• To remove ice cubes, hold the tray at its ends and twist gently.
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.

Storing Food
Suggestions on food storage
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.
Note
Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific
materials or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator. Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
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 effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

Care and Maintenance
General Information
Power Failure
If You Move
Anti
Condensation
Pipe
1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix
the loose items with tape.
Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving
the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
The Anti-Condensation
pipe is installed around the
front side of fridge-freezer
as well as on the partition between fridge
compartment and freezer
compartment to prevent dewing.
Especially after installation or when ambient
temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot,
which is quite normal.
