w WARNING
w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
w Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
w Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
w Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
w 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 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.

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
17
ENGLISH
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.
CLEANING
18
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ENGLISH
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
