INST
ALLATION
SELECT A GOOD LOCATION
1.
Place your refrigerator where it is easy to
use.
2.Avoid placing the unit near heat sources,
direct sunlight or moisture.
3. Air must circulate properly around your
refrigerator to ensure efficient operation.
If your refrigerator is placed in a recessed area
in the wall, allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) or
greater clearance above the refrigerator and 2
inches (5 cm) or more from the wall.
The refrigerator should be elevated 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from the floor, especially if the floor is
carpeted.
4. To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to
compensate for unevenness of the floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by
tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws clockwise
raise the unit, counterclockwise to

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe
off all dust accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc.,
in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during
shipment.
3. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to
the outlet. Don't double up with other
appliances on the same outlet.
4. Prior to storing food, leave your refrigerator
on for 2 or 3 hours.
Check the flow of cold air in the freezer
compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

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.

OPERATIONS
STARTING
When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures
prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
If operation is interrupted, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting.

ICE MAKING
Twisting Ice Serve Type
●
To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and
insert in its position.
●
To remove ice cubes, hold the knob of the tray and
turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop in the ice cube
box.
●
You can remove the Twisting Ice Serve to make the
freezer compartment larger.
●
You should remove the ice Trays and Ice Cube Box
first, then pull the frame out toword the right side.
Ice Trays

PULL OUT TRAY
(OPTIONAL)
The pull out tray offers easy access to the rear
of the food drawer by sliding the tray out.
Please do not hold the bottom of the tray
when slide the tray in, as it could catch
your hand.

OPERATION
How to remove the Pull Out Tray
Fully extend the Pull-Out-Tray and lift the front then pull it out slowly.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting takes place automatically.
The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which is located in the lower back side of the
refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.
DEODORIZER (OPTIONAL)
By using a catalyst, deodorizing performance is guaranteed.
Unpleasant odor of food in the fresh food compartment is deodorized with no harm to you and the food.
How to use
As the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is no
need to touch it.
Do not prick the deodorizer with a sharp tip because the deodorizing catalyst may be damaged.
When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because the odor may be
passed on to other foods.
