If 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 1m2 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 '3'/'5'.
●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.
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).
