Installation

Select a good location. Place your fridge-freezer where it is easy to use.

Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.

There must be proper air circulation around your fridge-freezer to keep it operating efficiently.

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.

Clean your fridge-freezer thoroughly and wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping.

Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their proper places.They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

Starting

Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.

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

MAX MIN

TEMP. CONTROL

knob towards MIN or MAX, respectively. When the surrounding temperature is low, adjust the TEMP. CONTROL 'MIN'.

Display Panel For Temperature Control

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.

Function

Operation

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.

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

Defrosting

To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.

Defrosting takes place automatically.

The defrosting water flows down to the evaporating tray and is evaporated automatically.

Storing Food

Suggestions on food storage

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.

Note

• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.

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.

Care and Maintenance

• 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.
