be dangerous to children.
- If a child places a bag over his or her head, the
child could suffocate.
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
offi ce 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 affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize
the number of door openings while the power is
off.
- 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 effect 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

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 effi ciency.
- 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.
Any changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the water fi lter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not
sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need
to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
The water line also connects to the ice maker.
For the ice maker to operate properly, water
pressure of 20~125 psi (138~862 kPa) is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make
sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the water outlet.
• Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper
tubing and ¼” compression nut.
