(referto installationinstructionsin this man- nal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on when

you open the doors.

Twin Cooling System

• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor

from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to sepa-

rate of air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your

food fresh longer.

Setthe temperaturecontrolto the coldest temperatureandwait for an hour.The freezershould getslightly chilled andthe motor shouldrun smoothly.

Oncethe refrigeratortemperatureissuffi- cientlylow, youcan storefood in the

refrigerator.Afterstarting the refrigerator,it takesa few hoursto reach the appropriate

temperature.

Xtra Space TM

• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space

for pizza etc.

Door Alarm

•A beeper reminds if you the door is left open.

Xtra Fresh TM

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer

• Reusable twin deodorizers keep the refrigerator air fresh and

odor free.
