SEVERE WARNING SIGNS
FOR TRANSPORTATION
WARNING
AND SITE
When transporting and installing the •
appliance, care should be taken to ensure
that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are
damaged.
Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work could ignite or cause an eye injury.
If a leak is detected, avoid any naked fl 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 fl 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.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of •
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
The room where the refrigerator will be sited must
be 1m³ in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in your particular
appliance is shown on the identifi cation plate
inside the appliance.

SEVERE WARNING SIGNS
WARNING
FOR DISPOSAL
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back •
of the appliance are damaged prior to
disposal.
R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant.•
Check the compressor label on the rear of the
appliance or the rating label inside the refrigerator
to see which refrigerant is used for your
refrigerator.
When this product contains fl ammable gas
(Refrigerant R600a), contact your local authority
in regard to safe disposal of this product.
Cyclopentane is used as an insulation blowing
gas. The gases in insulation material require
special disposal procedure.
Please contact your local authorities in regard to
the environmentally safe disposal of this product.
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
appliances are damaged prior to disposal.
The pipes shall be broke in the open space.
If the appliance contains iso-butane refrigerant •
(R600a), a natural gas with high environmental
compatibility that is, however, also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of
the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
When disposing of this product or other •
refrigerators, remove the door/door seals, door
latch so that small children or animals cannot
become trapped inside.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the old appliance.
Please dispose of the packaging material for this •
product in an environmentally friendly manner.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and •
performing maintenance.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
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 within 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 all frozen foods.
If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the keys •
should be kept out of the reach of children and
not in vicinity of the appliance.
The appliance might not operate consistently •
(possibility of temperature becoming too warm
in refrigerator) when sited for an extended period
of time below the cold end of the range of
temperature for which the refrigerating appliance
is designed.
Do not store food which spoils easily at low •
temperature, such as bananas, melons.
Your appliance is frost free, which means there is •
no need to manually defrost your appliance, as
this will be carried out automatically.
Temperature rising during the defrost can comply •
with ISO requirement.
But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of the frozen food while defrosting
the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in
several layers of newspaper.
Any increase in temperature of frozen food during •
defrosting can shorten its storage life.
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
(radiator, for example).
Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. 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 time for which the door is open, the
less ice will form in the freezer.
Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption.
Do not set temperature colder than necessary. Ensure suffi cient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent openings.
Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.

Feature of photosynthetic fresh LED
Plants breathe only without light.
However, if there is light, plants can breathe and
photosynthesize at the same time.
Therefore, if you keep the vegetables in dark
refrigerator, they continue breathing and it makes
organic matter in vegetables decrease and wither
more quickly.
If you keep vegetables and fruits in fresh safe
drawer, you can keep them fresher because they
can breathe and photosynthesize in there at the
same time.
Do not look directly at the Photosynthetic
Fresh LED for a long time.
CAUTION
It may cause an eye trouble.
Operating photosynthetic fresh
Photosyn thetic Fresh •
LED is installed on the
back of the fresh safe

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The appliance is not
operating at all or the
temperature is too high.
The food in the
refrigerator is frozen.
There are unusual
noises.
The front corners
and sides of the
appliance are warm and
condensation starts to
form.
You can hear a liquid
bubbling in the
appliance.
There is a bad smell
inside the appliance.
Check if the power plug is correctly connected.•

Does sun shine on the appliance or are there any heat sources nearby?•
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?•
Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest •
temperature?
Is the surrounding temperature too low?•
Check if the appliance is installed on a stable and even fl oor.•
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?•
Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?•
Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?•
A ticking sound occurs when the various accessories contract or •
expand.
Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to •
prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be
effective. However, this is not abnormal.
In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of •
the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the
cool surface of the appliance.
This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.•
Is there any spoiled food inside of the refrigerator? •
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so •
that it is airtight.
Clean out your refrigerator periodically and throw away any spoiled or •
suspect food.
