Introduction

Important Safety Instruction

WARNING

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 1m2in 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.

Operation

Ice Making

• Fill water in ice making box of the ice making corner. If water is fully filled the ice will not be separated well and water can be dropped to make ice lumped.

• Ice will be dropped into the ice storage bin by rotating ice separation handle of ice making compartment.

Defrosting

• Defrosting takes place automatically.

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

Note

• Rotating the ice separation handle before ice is fully frozen may cause the remaining water drop into the ice storage bin to lump the ice together.

Tip

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

Suggestions on food storage

• 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.

• 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, Miracle Zone or snack bin they may break when frozen.

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

•

Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator. Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.

• If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the Super Freezer button.

•

Do not put in front of the air hole of the upper drawer of freezer compartment. It could decrease freezer capacity.

CAUTION

Storing Food

Note

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.
