Don’t store
Grounding (Earthing)
Don’t store or use gasoline or other flammable vapor and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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.

Fixing the leg
Strong
and even floor
A proper
distance from
adjacent items
Where is free
from heat or coal
gas
Take the leg from the refrigerator and fix to the base by rotating it in clock wise direction.
Unstable installation may cause vibration and noise. If the floor to install the refrigerator on
is not even, make the refrigerator level by rotating
the leveling leg clockwise ( ) to raise the unit, anticlockwise ( ) to lower it.
Carpet or floorcloth on which a refrigerator is
installed may be discolored by heat from the bottom of the refrigerator. So, it is necessary to place a thick pad below the refrigerator.
Please keep the refrigerator at a proper distance from other things. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity charges consumption.
Places where ambient temperature are high, freezing capability is deteriorated and electric charge is increased. Coal gas and smoke may discolor the appearanceof refrigerator.

Use a three pin
6 Amp socket
Select a three pin 6 Amp socket having proper. Earthing & protection device (Fuse or MCB) for ensuring the long save operating.
NOTE
Install the refrigerator at a place where the ambient temperature is 5ºC~43ºC. Too high or low ambient temperature may cause functional troubles.

Instruction to
use bank ice

Door cooling
Your refrigerator has Triple twist ice tray
l to make ice cubes,
fill the ice tray with water upto the water level mark and insert in its position.
l to remove ice cubes,
hold the knob of the tray and turn gently in the clock wise direction, ice cubes drop in the bank ice.
Use bank ice only to store ice cubes. Do not make ice in it, as it may break.
Cool air vent is placed on the refrigerator door to
l
provide cool air to door shelves.
If foreign substances enters the cool air vent while
l
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.

Chiller Compartment
Defrosting
Deodorizer
How to Use
When the door is opened, the warmer air doesn’t influence the cooling of chiller compartment. So you can keep food fresher in it.
Defrosting takes place automatically in every 8 hours of
l
actual compressor running. The defrost water flows down to the evaporating tray
l
which is located in the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.
By using a catalyst, deodorizing performance is
l
guaranteed. Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food compartment is
l
deodorized with no harm to you and the food.
l
As the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet 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 deodorizer catalyst may be damaged.
l
When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with lid because odor may be passed to other food.

l
Far infrared rays emitted Far Infrared Ray lamp restrains the dryness of the food and keeps moisture without deteriorating nutrition value.
By increasing the nucleic acid, Far Infrared Rays also
l
keeps the smell and taste of the food for long time.
When the refrigerator begins to operate, F.I.R. lamp
l
turns on. During the refrigerator’s operating, the on and off of the F.I.R. lamp is atomically controlled by the refrigerator inner temperature. Therefore it is not necessary to handle F.I.R. lamp.
If you store the food wrapped in the vinyl or wrapper,
l
not in the vessel with lid, the food will get more effective F.I.R. results.
Lamp Replacement
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
l
Remove refrigerator shelves.
l
To remove the lamp cover, insert a slotted driver at
l
the one of the under hole of the lamp cover and pull it out forward.
Turn the lamp counterclockwise.

Suggestion on Food storage
Storing Food
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. Do not store food which becomes unusable easily at low temperatures, such as bananas,
and melons. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption. 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. Please keep food at a distance of at least 15 mm from the air vents. Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise. Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps
refrigerator temperatures even. To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature
control dial.
Freezer
compartment
Refrigerator
compartment
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they may break when frozen. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf or in utility box, not in the door basket.
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, and frequently open the door or put a lot of vegetables in it, moisture may form in it which has no effect on its performance. Just wipe the moisture with a clean cloth.

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation with Place freezable itemsRefrigerator Temp. Control at “Cold” position.
in freezer for longer storage. When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect
the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door “OPEN” to prevent odor formation.
Power failures for an hour or two 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.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot air to the refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.
Cleaning
Exterior
Interior
After cleaning
Warning
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 left uncleaned.
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.
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power outlet is not overheated, or power plug is inserted well into the power outlet.
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 an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.
