OPERATIONS
FRESH ZONE
●
When the door is opened, the warmer air doesn't influence in the fresh zone. So you can keep food fresher in it.
DEFROSTING
●
Defrosting takes place automatically.
●
The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which located in
the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.
DEODORIZER (OPTIONAL)
●
Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food compartment is deodorized with no harm to you and the food.
How to use
• As Deodorizer is located in cooling air inlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is
no need for any handling.
• Do not prick the cooling air inlet with a sharp tip because Deodorizer may be damaged.
• When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because odor may be
passed on to other foods.
●
To remove the deodorizer, take down while pulling it
forward after inserting type driver into the inside hole as shown in the figure at right.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
●
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, pineapples,
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.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
●
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.
●
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
●
It is recomended to load food at least 15mm against freezer wall, it will keep good air
circulation in the freezer compartment.
● Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following
position for freezing:
●
Freezer Door Basket, marked ( storage of frozen food (optional).
) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
●
Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
●
It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.
●
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
●
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
18
CLEANING
It is important that your refrigerator be kept
clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that
damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution
to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION TIME
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 to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and 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.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them all the way into the base.
19
INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
WARNING
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 electric shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.
• Caution for Cleaning Not in use : Surface
active agent, Car wax, Anticorrosive, All sorts of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.
• Usable Detergent Vegetable dish washable
solution, Soapy water.
• When careless using, it can occur a color
change.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti­condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.
Electrical Shock Hazard Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
either unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE :Moving the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
