• Keep all packaging materials well out of the
reach of children, as packaging materials can
be dangerous to children.
- If a child places a bag over his or her head, the
child could suocate.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
oce of your Electricity Company and ask how
long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an
hour or two will not aect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize
the number of door openings while the power
is o.
- Should the power failure last more than 24
hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• The appliance might not operate consistently
(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures
can become too warm in the frozen food
compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is
designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under
refrigeration can have a bad eect on
preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there
is no need to manually defrost your appliance.
This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies
with ISO requirements.
But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance
defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers
of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.
Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight
and never put it near a direct source of heat (a
radiator, for example).
- Not to block any vents and grilles is
recommended for energy eciency.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing
it in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the appliance open
for too long when putting food in or taking
food out.
The shorter the time the door is open, the less
frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
- It is recommended to install the refrigerator
with clearance to the back and sides. This will
help reduce power consumption and keep
your energy bills lower.

LEVEL EHT GN I TSUJDA
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can
make fi nal adjustments. Use a level to test if the
refrigerator is level both side to side and back to
front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be
possible to get the doors perfectly even, which
may cause moisture condensation and increased
energy bills. Below is an example of how to level
the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is
lower than the right side.

Both control levers must be touching the

property damage because of tipping.
If the right side is lower, perform the same
procedure, but with the right control lever.
It is diffi cult to remove the cover leg front
from the refrigerator, so we do not
recommend making small adjustments
with the control lever. Instead, refer to the
next page for the best way to make minor
adjustments to the doors.

CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE
Basic temperature of Freezer and
Refrigerator Compartments
The basic temperature and recommended
temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator
Compartments are 0°F and 37°F(or -18°C
and 3°C) respectively. If the temperature of the
Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are too
high or low, adjust the temperature manually.
CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The Freezer temperature can be set between
5°F(-15°C) and -8°F(-23°C) to suit your
particular needs. Press the Freezer button
repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown
in the temperature display. Keep in mind that
foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F(-15°C).
The temperature display will move sequentially
from -8°F(-23°C) to 5°F(-15°C).
When the display reaches 5°F(-15°C), it will begin
again at -8°F(-23°C).
Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the
display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature until the new temperature is reached.
Controlling the Refrigerator
temperature
The Refrigerator temperature can be set between
44°F(7°C) and 34°F(1°C) to suit your particular
needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the
desired temperature is shown in the temperature
display.
The temperature control process for the Fridge
works just like the Freezer process.
Press the Fridge button to set your desired
temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge
will begin adjusting towards the newly set
temperature. This will be refl ected in the digital
display.
The temperature of the Freezer or the
Refrigerator may rise from opening the
doors too frequently, or if a large amount
of warm or hot food is placed in either
side.
This may cause the digital display to
blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator
temperature return to their normal set
temperatures, the blinking will stop.
If the blinking continues, you may need to
“reset” the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the
appliance, wait for around 10 minutes and
then plug the power cord back in.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill suffi ciently.
• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge
inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving
those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder
areas or bins.
You hear unusual
noise or sounds.
• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because
