IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2. When using the refrigerator
When gas is leaked, do not touch the refrigerator or the outlet and ventilate the room immediately.
During the handling / delivering, installation if used gas is (1) Tetrafluroethane (R134a) - in spite of being Environment friendly & Non flammable, it may cause irritation to skin, eyes with small amount of vapor, hence proper ventilation across the Refrigerator area is must.
(2) Natural GAs
(isobutene, R600a) -
is the environmentfriendly refrigerant, even a small amount (80~90g) is combustible. When
the gas is leaked by
the severe damage during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any spark may cause fire or burn.
Do not spray water at the outside or the
inside of the refrigerator or do not clean it |

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
Violating this direction may cause injury or damage house or furniture. Always be careful, please.
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.
Carry the refrigerator with the handle bar at the bottom of the front and the top of the rear.

* If the gas used is R600a -
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 1m 2 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.

OPERATIONS
STARTING
When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 7-8 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.
BEFORE SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
●The temperature of the refrigerator is kept constant regardless of changes in room temperature. It is recommended that, once set, the temperature settings(the controls for the refrigerator and freezer compartments) not be changed unless necessary.
●This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and one temperature control dial for the freezer compartment.
●The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment is ‘3°C’.
●The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is '4'.
●This refrigerator has a temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. It will start and stop the compressor automatically as needed.
DOOR ALARM
When the door of the refrigerator or the freezer is open for 1 minute, an alarm will sound three times. It the door remains open, the alarm will repeat every 30 seconds.
LAMP AUTO OFF FEATURE
When the door is open for 7 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off automatically to save energy and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the door is closed.
SELF TEST
●Your refrigerator contains a built in diagnostic capability. If it develops a malfunction in certain areas, it will display an error code to assist the repair technician. While an error code is displayed, other control and display functions will not operate.
●If an error code is displayed, contact a service center. Do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
CONTROLS FOR FREEZER COMPARTMENT
●The higher number the control setting is, the lower the temperature of the freezer compartment becomes.
●Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.
●When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter, adjust the control for the freezer to High(4~7).
