NOTE
•It is normal that the water is not very cold at first. If you want colder water, add ice into the glass.
Cautions Throw away the ice (about 20 pieces) and water (about 7 glasses) first made after refrigerator installation.
The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the feed water pipe or feed water box. This is necessary in case that the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may push switch incorrectly bad or damage lamps.
Be careful that food is not block the ice passage.
If foods are placed at the entrance of ice passage, ice
may not be dispensed. The ice passage may also be covered with ice powder if splinter ice is used only. This time, remove the ice powder accumulated.
Never store beverage cans or other foods in ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may be broken.
Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.
Water may be splashed if ice is added to existing liquid in a glass.
Never touch a hand or other tools on ice outlet.
Touch may cause a part breakage or hand injury.
Never remove the ice maker cover.
Sometimes level the surface so that the ice storage bin is fully filled with ice.
Ice is piled up just near the ice maker. So, such status may be considered, by the ice maker, that the ice storage bin is fully filled and ice making operation may stop.
If discolored ice is dispensed, immediately contact service center, stopping use. Never use too narrow or deep glass.
Ice may be jammed in ice passage and, thus, the refrigerator may be failed.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.

Suggestion on food storage
|
Storing foods |
|
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an |
|
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor. |
|
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and |
|
melons. |
|
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil |
|
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption. |
|
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in 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 chilled air keeps refrigerator |
|
temperatures even. |
|
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, |
|
and cause temperatures to rise. |
|
Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks |
|
so that the door cannot be fully closed. |
Freezer |
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. |
compartment |
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient. |
|
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer |
|
shelf, not in the door rack. |
|
Do not touch the cold foods or containersespecially made of metallic -, with wet |
|
hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment. |
|
- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters |
|
are frozen, causing personal injury. |
Refrigerator |
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct |
compartment |
contact with chilled air. |
|
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and |
|
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. |
|
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always |
|
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer. |
NOTE
•If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent openning of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

General information |
Vacation time |
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator |
|
in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. |
|
When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the |
|
interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. |
Power failure |
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your |
|
refrigerator temperatures. |
|
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. |
If you move |
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. |
|
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base. |
Anti |
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just |
condensation |
after installation. |
pipe |
Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot |
|
refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall. |
|
Cleaning |
|
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled |
|
food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if |
|
allowed to settle. |
Exterior |
Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your |
|
refrigerator. |
|
Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. |
Interior |
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a |
|
mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. |
After cleaning |
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or |
|
power plug is well inserted into the power consent. |
Warning |
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of |
|
electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). |
|
Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from |
|
getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. |
|
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline |
|
solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. |
|
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick |
|
or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. |
