IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following.
CAUTION
Installation
•The fridge must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that were taped to
the front of the fridge.
•Be careful when you unpack and install the fridge. Immediately dispose of packing materials (plastic)
out of reach of children.
Use
•Close the doors carefully when children are around.
•Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
•If food is stacked or stored poorly on the shelves, it may fall and cause injury when the door is opened.
•Do not move fridge while the fridge is operating. A Compressor rattling noise may occur as a result
and will only stop when the compressor cycles off, or when the power to the unit is turned off and
back on again. (This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor.
The rattling will stop after the compressor comes to a rest.)
•Do not place glass containers, bottles or cans (especially those containing carbonated drinks) in the
freezer compartment, shelves or ice bin that will be exposed to temperatures below freezing.
Maintenance
•Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
•Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas before
connecting.
WARNING
•Use drinkable water for ice making.
WARNING
•Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
•Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
•Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
•The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures.
When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of
refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt,
consult your dealer.

2 Choosing the proper
location
3 Leveling and Door
Alignment
SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
•Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
•Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
•Do not set the temperature of fridge lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature
sensor.
•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.
•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.
•The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice
buildup under normal operating conditions.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking Your Fridge
WARNING
•Use two or more people to move and install
the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
•Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect
the floor. Always pull the fridge straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk
the fridge when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur. Wind the leveling feet
up first so that the unit is on its rollers.
•Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the fridge. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
fridge before using. Do not remove any warningtype labels, the model and serial number label, or
the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of
the fridge.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing a small
amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with
your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your fridge.
Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
•The fridge should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and
also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
•After installing the appliance, connect the
power plug into a socket outlet. Before
moving and discarding the appliance,
disconnect the plug from the socket outlet.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the fridge in a wet or damp area.
do not install in any outdoor or sheltered
outdoor location or direct sunlight.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. Poorly constructed timber
flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment
and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See
Leveling and door AlIgnment.)

•Wash food before storing it in the fridge. Food packaging should be wiped down to prevent
adjacent foods from being contaminated.
•If the fridge is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of
vegetables in the fridge may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean
cloth or a paper towel.
•If the fridge doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the fridge and raise its
temperature. It can also increase the fridge’s electricity usage.
•If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher
moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.
NOTE
•If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the fridge should be left
on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
•If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from
growing in the appliance.
•In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.
− You should avoid door openings while the power is off.

are not being consumed the
same day of purchase. It is
recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
Cover leftovers with plastic
wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic
containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
NOTE
Check a freezer food guide or a reliable
cookbook for further information about preparing
food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen
food into the freezer than will freeze within 24
hours (no more than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per
cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a
sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
NOTE
Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any
kind as they can explode or shatter.

HOW TO USE
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the fridge and could

Adjusting the Fridge Shelves
The shelves in your fridge are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights
of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the fridge door is open which
will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Refitting the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or spilling
food.
