Starting

Adjusting the temperatures and functions

When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it to stabilize at normal operating temperatures for 2-3 hours prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods. If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

Operation

Self-diagnosis function operates when a problem occurs in the unit. When an error occurs in the unit. Immediately contact the service center without turning the power OFF. If the power is OFF, it will take the engineer longer to find out where the fault occurs. The pressing of any function buttons will not alter the temperature setting when a fault occurs.

An alarm will sound 3 times when the refrigerator door is left open for more than 1 minute. This alarm will be rung at an intervals of 30 sec. and stop at the close of the door. If the alarm sound does not stop even after the freezer and refrigerator compartment doors are closed, contact the service center.

Suggestion on food storage

Storing foods



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, 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.



Never keep too many foods in door rack because they may be interrupted by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.



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 nutrient.



When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.



Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.

- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury.



Avoid placing moist food upmost refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon 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 a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Care and maintenance

General information

Cleaning

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 not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

Vacation time

Power failure

If you move

Anti

condensation

pipe

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

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 refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent.

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.

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 allowed to settle.

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.

Trouble shooting

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

Runing of

refrigerator

Refrigerator compressor

does not run.

Refrigerator

runs too much

or too long

Possible cause

Refrigerator control is off.

Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.

Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.

Power outage. Check house lights. Refrigerator is larger than the previous

one you owned. Room or outside weather is hot.

Refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time.

Large amounts of warm or hot food may have been stored recently.

Doors are opened too frequently or too long.

Refrigerator or freezer door may be slightly open.

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.

Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator at a constant temperature.

Solution

Set refrigerator control. See setting the controls.

This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically.

Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

Call local electric company. This is normal. Larger, more efficient

units run longer in these conditions. It is normal for the refrigerator to work

longer under these conditions. It takes some hours for the refrigerator

to cool down completely. Warm food will cause the refrigerator to

run longer until the desired temperature is reached.

Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run longer. Open the door less often.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See problem section. OPENING/CLOSING of doors.

Set the refrigerator control to a warmer setting until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired

temperatures.

This is normal. Refrigerator goes on

and

off to keep the temperature constant.

Refrigerator control is set too warm. Refrigerator control has some effect on freezer temperature.

Freezer control is set too warm.

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Meat should be stored at temperature just below the freezing point of water (32 ˚ F, 0˚ C) for maximum fresh storage time.

Solution

Set the refrigerator control to a colder setting.

A refrigerator requires some hours to cool down completely.

Wait until the refrigerator or freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature.

Warm air enters the refrigerator/ freezer whenever the door is opened. Open the door less often.

Set the freezer control to a colder setting until the freezer temperature is satisfactory.

It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the moisture content of meat.

Set the refrigerator control to a warmer setting

See above solution.

Set the freezer control to a warmer setting until the freezer temperature is satisfactory.

Close the door completely.
