• Improper use of the ground plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115V~120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR THE REFRIGERATOR

• Select a location with easy access to the water supply. (in case of auto ice maker model)

• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator.

• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlinght.

Allow sufficient space to circulate the air at the internal cooling system.

When refrigerator has not enough space, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.

•

1 inch

1/8 inch

•

Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing the refrigerator. This has the advantage of reducing power consumption.

•

Note

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F(10°C).

LEVELLING

If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the door can be opened and closed easier.

The appliance tilts down to the left.

Turn the left adjusting leg in the direction of the arrow with a flat head screwdriver until the appliance is level.

The appliance tilts down to the right.

Turn the right adjusting leg in the direction of the arrow with a flat head screwdriver until the appliance is level.

PREPARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER

To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.

Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport and place them in the correct position.

You are advised to clean the appliance and accessories before switching the appliance on for the first time to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping. Please clean the water dispenser (select

models only) with an detergent, especially if there is an odor. Switch on the appliance for approximately 2 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first time. Do not load with frozen food until the freezer temperature is at least -18°C. If you want to store frozen food as rapidly as possible, set the temperature control to the coldest temperature ( appliance operate for one hour. The appliance is preset for normal operation. We recommend temperatures of +3°C in the refrigerator and

-25°C) and let the

-19°C in the freezer.

The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open. This interior light will go out when the door is closed

Your appliance is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months. During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.

Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.

If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

When storing food in the appliance, follow the recommendations below.

• Allow warm food and beverages to cool down before storing them in the appliance.

• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in color or losing flavor and will help maintain freshness. Fruits and vegetables do not need to wrapped, provided that they are stored in the fridge vegetable drawers. Avoid wrapping the food with paper as it may cause odors. We recommend plastic wrap or foil.

• Never let any oil or grease come into contact with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these materials easily become porous.

• Never store any explosive substances inside the appliance. High-proof alcohol should only be stored upright in tightly sealed containers.

• Please keep the space between the shelf and the rear wall of the enclosed space of the cabinet a 1/2 inch apart for air circulation.

A. Fridge

Transparent, unbreakable shelves

• Place food in storage containers and lay the items out at suitable intervals.

• The storage shelf is made from an unbreakable, transparent material, so that you can safely use it .

Humidity controlled drawers

• Fruit and Vegetables can be stored in these compartments.

• The drawers can be removed if you need more space to store fruit and vegetables.

• To maintain high humidity, slide the humidity control lever to the “HIGH” side.

Multi-purpose door guard and egg bin

• The fridge is the warmest in the front, at the top and in the door.

• You can store small packaged foods, like milk, yogurt and beverages

here.

Bottle door guard

• You can store small bottles, cartons of beer, milk and juice in the upper

area and large bottles and gallon cartons in the lower area.

STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

Note

Upper freezer drawer

B. Freezer

• Store packed frozen foods, like ice cream and bacon.

Middle/lower freezer drawer

• Store fresh meat and fish or dried foods divided into suitably sized portions.

Wrapping food

Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household. Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 2 pounds, while meat portions can be up to 5.5 lbs. Smaller portions freeze quickly and the quality is better maintained when defrosting and preparing the food. It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing its taste or dehydrating. Wrap the food, then press out any air and seal it airtight.

Suitable wrapping materials:

Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers.

Unsuitable wrapping materials:

Wrapping paper, wax paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags. These can cause odors.

Suitable sealing materials:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar. Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.

Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and the date of freezing.
