IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
1. Do not modify the power cord length or sharing of outlet with other appliances and don't replace the power cord with the
damaged or unspecified power cord. It will cause electric shock or fire. If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
authorized service person as specified by the manufacturer.
2. Plug in the power socket properly. Loose plug-in causes electric shock or fire due to heat generation.
3. Do not switch ON/OFF the refrigerator with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.
4. Use only dedicated power socket for supply to refrigerator. Do not use an extension cord; otherwise it will cause overloading
and intermittent tripping of other appliances or household lights.
5. Never splash water on your refrigerator. It may cause short circuit.
6. Grounding (Earthing). 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. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded. Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in an electric shock.
7. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
8. When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over the power cord or damage it in any way.
9. Unplug the power cord from outlet for cleaning or other requirements. Never touch it with wet hands because you can get an electric
shock or be hurt.
10. Never damage, process, pull out, or twist the power cord, because damage of power cord may cause a fire or electric shock.
11. Do not place the lit candle within the refrigerator to deodorize. It may cause explosion or fire.
12. Do not use or store inflammable materials ether, benzene, alcohol, medicine, LP gas, spray or cosmetics near or in the refrigerator. It
may cause explosion or fire.
13. When any strange smell or smoke is detected from the refrigerator, disconnect the power plug immediately and contact to the
service center. It may cause fire.
14. The refrigerator should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.
CAUTION
1. Before use, refrigerator must be properly installed and located as per the installation instructions.
2. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surface in the freezer compartment, particularly when your hands are
damp or wet. Skin could adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
3. Wait for 5 minutes or longer when reconnecting the plug. (It may cause the operation of the freezer to fail.)
4. Do not install the refrigerator in the wet place or the place which water or rain splashes. (Deterioration of insulation of electric parts
may cause electric leakage.)
5. Because opening or closing the door of the refrigerator may cause injury to the person around it, be careful, please. (Opening or
closing the door may cause feet or hands to be caught in the chink in door or the child to be get hurt by the corner.)
Unpack the refrigerator and locate at desired location.

lRefrigerator should be located properly in ventilated area.
lAvoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
lPrior to storing food, leave your refrigerator on for 2 or 3 hours.
lDon't install this appliance below 5 °C. It may cause the debasement of
It is natural for moisture in the air to condense on the cold surface. This leads to a
regular build up of frost on the surface of the freezer and the cooling in the fresh food
compartment. This frost accumulation reduces the cooling effect, thereby reducing
efficiency. Therefore, periodic defrosting is necessary to ensure optimum
performance.
H
The water in the drain tray evaporates by natural evaporation if defrosting is done
once in two days. However, due to varied conditions of usage it is desirable to check
the drain-tray occasionally and dispose of the water, if any, Please ensure that the
chiller tray is in its correct position by pushing it to its correct position by pushing it to its
extreme. Otherwise the defrosting water may fall over the contents of the refrigerator.
H
Manual Defrosting : However in some models, in case of defrosting or power
failure the water directly accumulates in chiller tray, dispose off water directly from
chiller tray by taking it out.
