IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
w WARNING |
<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH |
w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, |
|
clear of obstruction. |
|
wDo not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
wDo not damage the refrigerant circuit.
wDo not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
wThe 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 1 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the 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.

NOTE
•This guide covers several different models. The refrigerator you have purchased may have some or all of the features shown above.
•To keep a position of inner parts like as racks, drawers and shelves supplied by manufacturer is the most efficient usage for energy saving.
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 refrigerator 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.

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.
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.
<![endif]>ENGLISH
17
CLEANING
It is important that you 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.
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.
w 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

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.
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.
w CAUTION
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.
APPLIANCE USAGE RANGE
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as
–staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
–farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
–bed and breakfast type environments;
–catering and similar non-retail applications.
<![endif]>ENGLISH

w WARNING
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.
ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG
The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.
ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)
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.
