SPECIAL FEATURE

1) NON-FLON

This unit uses totally NON-FLON MATERIALS both for refrigerant (Iso-butane (R600a) and for insulation

(Cyclo-Pentane). So, this refrigerator does not damage the earth’s ozone layer and has almost no effect
on global warming.

2) INVERTER

In accordance with temperature change inside the compartment, the motor runs at different speed.
When the temperature is stable, the motor runs at a lower speed (energy saving & lower noise).
When powerful cooling is required, the motor runs at a higher speed.

that there is no water in the refrigerator,

adjust the leveling stand of refrigerator,
then move the refrigetator and install in the
location, adjust leveling stand for locking.

● In case of placing the refrigerator on an uneven
surface, adjust the leveling stand to make the refrigerator
stands stably.

● If there is no ground wiring plug in refrigerator, it should be
connected with ground connection to prevent hazard from electric
leakage.

● Bring power cord set for use should be lift up left drain tray until

fl ower vase on the top of the refrigerator. Spilled water

may damage insulation of electrical components and
cause electrical leakage fi re or electrical shocks.

● If you detect a burning smell, disconnect the power

plug.

● If you detect a gas (such as city gas) leak, ventilate

the kitchen.

● A flammable refrigerant is used. If you have dam-

aged the cooling circuit (piping), open the windows
to ventilate the kitchen and contact your dealer.
(Otherwise it may cause an electrical shock, ignition
or explosion.)

● Maintenance work must only be done at workshop

by competent person.

Do not store chemicals or scientifi c specimen. Home-

Use refrigerator cannot store those requiring a strict
control.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to

accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.

Before taking the refrigerator to be recycled, please
remove all the door opening seal to prevent locking a
child in it.

Regarding to local laws, Cyclo-Pentane is used for
insulation of this refrigerator and fl amable gas is used
for refrigerant. When you throw away this unit, please
discard it by proper method, and do not dispose it by
burning.

REFRIGERATOR INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

1. Do not open the refrigerator frequently or leave it open for a long time. This is to prevent water
dripping inside the refrigerator and will cause the waste of coolness and consumption of energy.

2. Do not refrigerate unnecessary items or hard-to-rot foodstuff such as pumpkin, shallot, garlic,
potato as it will make the refrigerator to work overload and waste the storage space without
necessity.

3. Adjust the temperature according to the actual operating condition for energy saving.

4. Do not refrigerate bottles bigger than the door shelf or the tray as the door will not close
completely causing coolness to leak.

5. Frequently check the door opening seal, it must be closed to the refrigerator’s body completely.
Do not leave the seal dirty or damaged or deteriorated as the coolness will leak and will cause
unnecessary consumption of energy.

6. If you will not be at home for several days or there are nothing refrigerated in the refrigerator, the
plug should be disconnected for energy saving, In this case, clean the refrigerator and leave it
half-open to prevent bad odour.

7. Clean the drain tray located over the compressor at the back of the refrigerator every three
months to prevent the odour generated from humidity.

8. Energy saving dryer pipes and heating pipes embedded around the refrigerator cabinet are
helping to prevent “condensation” on the outer surface of the cabinet without consuming energy.

This will make the outer wall of the refrigerator get warm and that is not a malfunction.

9. Drinking water bottles, beverage bottles such as soft drinks and fruit juices should be sealed
closely to prevent odour to get into the bottles.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for servicing, please check the following.

The refrigerator does not operate.

* Check that the plug and its socket are in good condition.
* Check if there is any problem on main fuse and electrical system of the house.

The refrigerator does not cool properly.

* Check to be sure that the temperature control button is at the proper position.
* Check to see if the refrigerator is overloaded with stuff or there is any hot foodstuff refrigerated

inside.
* Is the refrigerator exposed directly to sunlight or heat source?
* Is the refrigerator door completely closed? Is the refrigerator door opened frequently?

Vapor generated inside and outside the cabinet.

* Condensation may appear on the surface of cabinet when humidity is high, e.g. during rainy

season or the air circulation is not good.
* If there is condensation inside, check if the door is completely closed. Is the refrigerator

frequently opened or left open for a long time? Is there any hot foodstuff refrigerated inside?

The refrigerator generates noise.

* Check if the refrigerator is located on a stable fl oor or is installed properly.
* Check if there is any object in contact with the refrigerator.
