Never unplug your fridge-freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
After your fridge-freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
Don't Use an
Extension Cord
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.
Accessibility of
Supply Plug
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.
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.
Don't store
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in t
he vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Grounding

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Danger
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

1.
Select a good location. Place your fridge-freezer where it is easy to use.
2.
Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3.
There must be proper air circulation around your fridge-freezer to keep it operating efficiently.
4.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise( ) to raise the unit, clockwise( ) to lower it.
5.
Clean your fridge-freezer thoroughly and wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping.
6.
Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their proper places.They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
7.
Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
8.
To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge ­freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.
When your fridge-freezer is installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods. If power plug is disconnected, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting. Your fridge-freezer is now ready for use.

Operation
Temperature Control
Your fridge-freezer has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the fridge and freezer compartments.
Refrigerator
Freezer
• Initially set the TEMP. CONTROL at "4". Then adjust the compartment temperature according to your desire.
• If you want an inside temperature slightly less cold or colder, turn the knob towards MIN or MAX, respectively. When the surrounding temperature is low, adjust the TEMP. CONTROL 'MIN'.
Display Panel For Temperature Control
10
Operation
• The initial Temperature of the Freezer Compartment is
-18°C . You can now adjust the temperature of the compartment as you want.
< LED 88 Type >
< LED BAR Type >
• When you press the temperature control buttons, the temperature of Freezer compartment is repeated in the following order.
LED 88 Type Freezer Compartment :
-18°C -19°C -20°C -21°C -22°C -23°C
-15°C -16°C -17°C
Note
LED BAR Type Freezer Compartment :
-19°C → -21°C→ -23°C → -15°C → -17°C
The actual inner temperature varies depending on the food status, as the indicated setting temperature is a target temperature, not actual temperature within refrigerator.
Refrigeration function is weak in the initial time. Please adjust temperature as above after using refrigerator for minimum 2~3 days.
11
Operation
Function
Super Freezer
Vacation
• Please select this function for prompt freezer.
• This function is used when you want to freeze the foods quickly. Press the ‘SUPER FRZ’ (Super Freezer) button once, and then the quick freeze operation starts with the lamp on.
• The Super Freeze operation takes about 3 hours. When its operation ends, it automatically returns to the previous temperature setting. If you want to stop the quick freeze operation, press the ‘SUPER FRZ’ button once more, the lamp goes out, and the Super Freeze operation stops and the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature setting.
• This function makes the fridge-freezer work in a power saving mode which is useful for when you are away on holiday, by reducing energy consumption as much as possible. Pressing ‘VACATION’ starts operation with lamp on and pressing it again stops the operation.
Defrosting
Defrosting takes place automatically. The defrosting water flows down to the evaporating tray
and is evaporated automatically.
12
Operation
Lock
Self Test
Ice Making
• Pressing this button stops operation of other buttons.
• ”Locking” or “Un-Locking” is repeated whenever pressing the ‘CHILD LOCK’ button. (For “Locking” or “Un-Locking” press the ‘CHILD LOCK’ button for 2 secs.)
• When ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated, pressing the other
buttons would not work.
This function allows you to check for operational problems. If you think you have a problem with your fridge-freezer, then press the temperature control button:
- If the indicate lights move up or down, then there is no
problem with your fridge-freezer.
- If the indicate lights do not move up or down, then
please leave the power connected and call your nearest service agent.
• To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray to the water level and place it in the freezer.
• If ice cubes are required fast, press the “SUPER FRZ.”button.
• To remove ice cubes, hold the tray at its ends and twist gently.
Tip
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.
Suggestions on food storage
Note
If you keep the fridge-freezer 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 dust cloth free from care.
13
Storing Food
Storing Food
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
When storing the food, use 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
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
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.

Care and Maintenance
General Information
Power Failure
If You Move
Anti
Condensation
Pipe
1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods
stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix
the loose items with tape.
Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving
the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
The Anti-Condensation
pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.
Especially after installation
or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
Lamp Replacement
1. Unplug the power cord from the
outlet.
2. Remove fridge shelves.
3. To remove the lamp cover, insert
type driver in the underside of the lamp cover and pull it out forwards.
4. Turn the lamp counterclockwise.
5. Assemble in reverse order of
disassembly. Replacement lamp must be the same specification as original.
• You must check the O-RING, which is made by
rubber and prevent electric spark.
