Introduction

	It is advised that this appliance should be connected through an independent power
	socket to prevent it and other appliances from overloading the circuit and causing a	ENGLISH
	power outage.
	The appliance should be positioned so that the supply plug is easily accessible for quick
	disconnection should an accident occur.
	If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
	agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
	Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length. It may cause electric shock or fire.

Connect the power plug in proper position with the cord hanging down.

-If you connect the power plug upside down, wire can get cut off and cause fire or electric shock.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment.

Before you dispose of your old refrigerator please remove doors but leave the shelves in place so that children cannot climb inside.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapour and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

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 earthed. Improper connection of the earthing plug can cause electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.

Do not move refrigerator while the refrigerator is operating. Compressor may occur a temporary rattling noise.

(This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor. The rattling will stop after the refrigerator comes to a rest.)

Introduction

WARNING • Keep ventilation openings in the room where the appliance is installed 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.

•Disposal procedures. If disposing of this appliance, please consult with a service agent or a similarly qualified person for more details.

•Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

•Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.

- Aerosols used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire.

This appliance may contain (Check the rating/comliance label for the refriger-ant type and amount. Applicable to some models only) 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 1m2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refriger-ant 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.

Door replacement

Once the fridge is through the access door, remount the fridge doors by following the door removal instructions in reverse.

Feed water pipe installation

Before Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147~834 kPa (1.5~8.5 kgf/ Installation cm2) (The pressure is correct when an instant paper cup (180 cc) is in 3 sec.).

If water pressure does not reach the rating 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2) or below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and cool water feed.

Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 8 m and be careful that the tube does not bend. If the tube is 8 m or longer it may cause water feed problems owing to the drain water pressure.

Install the feed water pipe tube at a place free from heat. Connect to drinking water supply only.

WARNING

• Connect to potable water supply only. (for Plumbing Type)

• Fill with potable water only. (for Non-Plumbing Type)

R efer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

B e careful that the water tube match same colour.

B efore being used, the leakage in these places should be examined.
