• If you take a lot of foods in the freezer or open its door frequently its temperature is apt to be somewhat
higher. In this case, set the FREEZER CONTROL dial between 7 and 8 to cool it. Return the FREEZER
CONTROL dial to the original position to cut down the consumption
.
• In hot weather or to put much foods in the refrigerator compartment, the refrigerator compartment has
a tendency to warm up. For colder refrigerator, turn the FREEZER CONTROL to "2"~"4" to direct more
cold air into the refrigerator compartment, and the REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL to "MAX" or "6".
Setting at "7"~"8" of the FREEZER CONTROL, the refrigerator compartment will not be cold enough.
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
●

insert in its position.
• FREEZER CONTROL- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Setting at "8", the freezer compartment becomes colder.
But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator compartment.
• In cold weather the unit operates less and the freezer compartment
has a tendency to warm up.

OPERATIONS
FRESH ZONE
●
When the door is opened, the warmer air doesn't influence
in the fresh zone. So you can keep food fresher in it.
DEFROSTING
●
Defrosting takes place automatically.
●
The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which located in
the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.
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.

OPERATIONS
GREEN ION DOOR COOLING
(FOR DOOR COOLING MODEL)
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 ST ORAGE
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 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:
●
Freezer Door Basket, marked (
storage of frozen food (optional).
) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term
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.
17
CLEANING
It is important that your refrigerator be kept
clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled
food should be wipe 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 dish washable solution 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. Use a lukewarm
solution of mild soap or dish washable solution
to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
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.
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.
18
INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves,
door racks, storage trays and magnetic door
seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap
or dish washable solution to clean the durable
finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and then 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 electric
shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning
liquids.
• Caution for Cleaning Not in use : Surface
active agent, Car wax, Anticorrosive, All sorts
of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.
• Usable Detergent Vegetable dish washable
solution, Soapy water.
• When careless using, it can occur a color
change.
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.
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.
