Introduction / Installation

Warning

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, 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.

The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualied person.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), n

atural 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 ames 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 ammable 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 1m 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identication plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Feed water pipe installation

(*Dispenser model only)

Pass the refrigerator laterally through the access door as shown in the right figure.



Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147~834 kPa (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2) (That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be fully filled within 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 for the tube not be bent. If the tube is 8 m or longer it may cause trouble in water feed owing to the drain water pressure.



Install the feed water pipe tube at a place free from heat.



Connect to potable water supply only.

Suggestion on food storage

Storing foods



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, and melons.



Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.



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.



Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.



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 nutrient.



When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.



Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.

- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters

are frozen, causing personal injury.



Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.



Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.



When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

General information

Cleaning

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 not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

Vacation time

Power failure

If you move

Anti

condensation

pipe

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent.

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 an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Solution

Set refrigerator control. See setting the controls.

This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically.

Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

Call local electric company.

This is normal. Larger, more efficient units run longer in these conditions.

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions.

It takes some hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely.

Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the desired temperature is reached.

Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run longer. Open the door less often.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See problem section. OPENING/CLOSING of doors.

Set the refrigerator control to a warmer setting until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired

temperatures.

This is normal. Refrigerator goes on

and

off to keep the temperature constant.

Set the refrigerator control to a colder setting.

A refrigerator requires some hours to cool down completely.

Wait until the refrigerator or freezer has a chance to reach its selected temperature.

Warm air enters the refrigerator/ freezer whenever the door is opened. Open the door less often.

Set the freezer or refrigerator control to a colder setting until the freezer or refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.

It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the moisture content of meat.

This is normal.

It is normal for dishes to vibrate slightly. Move dishes slightly. Make sure refrigerator is level and firmly set on floor.

Be sure floor is level and solid and can adequately support refrigerator.
