OPERATIONS

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 set to be colder.

When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in

winter, adjust the control for the freezer to High (7~8).

Setting the Freezer Knob at will satisfy 4 STAR. Setting the Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have

sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORMAL.

ICE MAKING

Twisting Ice Serve Type

To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and

insert in its position.

To remove ice cubes, hold the lever of the tray and

pull turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop in to the ice
cube box.

OPERATIONS

VEGETABLE DRAWER

How to use

Vegetable drawer can be used through the control of knob.
Check the position of knob prior to store the food.
Do not locate the knob on the middle point.

DEODORIZER (OPTIONAL)

Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food

compartment is deodorized with no harm to
you and the food.

How to use

• As Deodorizer is located in cooling air inlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is

no need for any handling.

• Do not prick the cooling air inlet with a sharp tip because Deodorizer may be damaged.

• 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.

Re-Using of Deodorizer

• Used some length and the odor is strong,

Deodorizer can be revived and re-used.

• Separate Deodorizer in ceiling of refrigerator

compartment, using hair drier to remove
moisture or malodor and oxidize under sunlight
to decomposing malodor by ultraviolet.

GREEN ION DOOR COOLING
(OPTIONAL)

The anion coating in the duct cover purifies the air and

helps stored foods remain fresh longer.

If water of foreign substances enter the cool air vent while

cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is
damaged, efficiency may be lowered owing to the escape
of cool air.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

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, pineapples,

and melons.

Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,

and lead to higher electric bills!

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.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in

the door rack.

It is recomended to load food at least 15mm against back of freezer wall, it will keep good air

circulation in the freezer compartment.

Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following

position for freezing:

Newly Introduced Food

Freezer Door Basket, marked ( ) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term

storage of frozen food (optional).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

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.

It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable

and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is
necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it
close to the door away from the back wall of the
refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

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.

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.

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 to be away for an extended
period, 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 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.

This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such as:

- Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and
other working environments.

- Farm houses and by clients in hotels,
motels and other residential type
environments.

- Bed and breakfast type environments.

- Catering and similar non-retail
applications.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn

them all the way into the base.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm,
especially just after
installation.
Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the anti­condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to
prevent "sweating" on the
outer cabinet wall.

Caution

Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,

either unplug the refrigerator or turn off
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE : Moving the control to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light
circuit.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

authorized service center for lamp replacement.

21

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

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 that could cause a power outage.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned
that the supply plug is accessible for quick
disconnection when accident happens.

SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.

VERY DANGEROUS ATTRACTION

An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous
attraction to children. Remove either gaskets,
latches, lids or the entire door from your
unused appliance, or take some other action
to make it harmless.

ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding
(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by

EARTH/GROUNDING CONSTRUCTION (OPTIONAL)

It is recommended to install the earth to prevent electric shock in
case of electricity leakage.

How to connect the earth wire:

• Connect the earth wire's metal ring end to the earth screw
on the back of the refrigerator.

• Peel off the cable sheath/insulation at the other end of the earth wire. Attach the peeled wire
to a metal screw/nail and then drive it through the wall or ground.

Do not connect the earth wire to the following locations.

• Gas pipe
It could produce sparks which lead to fire and explosion.

• Telephone earth wire and lightning rod
It is dangerous during lightning.

• Water pipe and water tap
The earth wire connection will not work when the middle of the water pipe is made of plastic.
If it is connected to a metal water pipe, it could cause someone to be electrocuted.

When installing the product in a humid or wet location, you must install the earth wire.

Ex) • Unfloored or dirt floored room (Room with dirt and no floor), concrete floor

• Location where it can get wet such as near the sink

• Location where water can leak or is humid such as basement

• Other wet or humid location

Especially, for locations where it always get wet such as near the restaurant sink, you are obligated by
the law to install a circuit breaker in addition to the earth wire.

After consulting with your retailer or electric construction company, you must do the earth wire
construction (Type 3 earth construction). Please note that earth construction could incur extra fees.
