3. Door Cooling
l
Cool air vent is placed on the refrigerator door to provide Door
Shelves with cool air.
l
If foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning,
efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged,
efficiency may be lowered due to the escape of cool air. So care
should be taken during cleaning.
4. Fresh Zone
When the door is opened, the warmer air doesn't influence the
cooling of Fresh Zone. So you can keep food fresher in it.
5. Defrosting
l
Defrosting takes place automatically
l
The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which is
.
located in the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated
automatically.
6. Deodorizer
l
By using a catalyst, deodorizing performance is guaranteed.
l
Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food compartment is deodorized
with no harm to you and the food.
How to use
l As the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet for circulating air in
fresh food compartment, there is no need for any handling.
l
Do not prick the cooling air outlet with a sharp tip because the
deodorizing catalyst may be damaged.
l
When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a
lid because odor may be passed on to other foods.
l
Don't try to remove the deodorizer cover, as you may break the catalyst.
7. F.I.R Lamp
Feature
l Far Infrared Rays emitted from Far Infrared Ray Lamp restrains the dryness
of the foods and keeps its Moisture without deteriorating nutrition value.
l By increasing the nucleic acid, Far Infrared Rays also keeps the aroma and
the smell of the food for a longer time.
Operating
l When the refrigerator begins to operate, F.I.R Lamp turns on.
During the refrigerator's operating, the on and off of the
F.I. R Lamp is automatically controlled by the refrigerator inner
temperature. Therefore it is not necessary to handle F.I.R Lamp.
l If you store the foods wrapped in the vinyl or wrapper, not in the
vessel with lid, the foods will get more effective F.I.R results.

Suggestions on Food Storage
Storing Food
l
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and defrosted is an
important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
l
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
melons.
l
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,
and lead to high electric bills!
l
When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutritional value.
l
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
even.
l
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
l
Freezer Compartment
l Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
l Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional valve.
l When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the
door Shelf.
Refrigerator Compartment
l Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact
with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
l Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and
packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
l When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a
up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer
N
OT
E
l
If you keep the refrigerator 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 cloth free from dust.
l
Don't use plastic cover. Cloth or any other item to cover your refrigerator
on sides, it will hamper performance of the refrigerator.

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. Never use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or
strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands.
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 of the interior and interior
parts is recommended. If you have the No Frost Model
which defrosts automatically, leave both doors open
during the entire cleaning process. Disconnect the
power supply, and remove food and all Compartment
Shelves, Storage Trays etc. Wash all compartments
with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry.
General Information
Vacation Time
During average length vacations, you will
probably find it best to leave the
r e f r ig er at or i n o pe ra t i o n w i t h
Refrigerator Temp. Control at "Min"
Position.
Place freezable items in freezer for
longer life. When you plan to be away for
an extended period, remove all food,
disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and don't leave
door OPEN.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected in an
hour or two and will not affect your
refrigerator temperatures. However, you
should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During
power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry
ice on top of your frozen packages.
If you Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose item inside
the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling screws,
turn them all the way into the base.
Anti-condensation Pipe
The outside wall of the
refrigerator cabinet
will always be warm,
especially just after
installation. Don't be
alarmed. This is due to
the anti-condensation
pipe, which pumps hot
refrigerant to prevent
"sweating" on the outer
cabinet wall.
Interior Parts - Wash compartment
shelves,door shelves, storage trays and
magnetic door seals etc. with a baking
soda solution or a mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse and dry.
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 a electric short circuit. Do not use
flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.

I M P O R T A N T W A R N I N G
Do Not Use An Extension Cord
If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own
individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other
appliances or household lights from causing an
overload and intermittent tripping .
Power Cord Replacement
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly from the
manufacturer or its authorised service agent.
VERY DANGEROUS ATTRACTION
An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous
attraction to children. Remove gaskets,
latches, lids or the entire door from your
unused appliance, or take some other action
to make it harmless.
