Placethe refigeratorin an appropriate locationwith reasonableclearance

betweenthe walland the refrigerator. (referto installationinstructionsinthis manual)

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 inde-

pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual- ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.This pro- vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food

fresh longer.

Set thetemperature controlto the coldest temperatureand waitfor an hour.The freezershould getslightlychilled andthe motor should runsmoothly.

Oncethe refrigeratortemperatureis suffi- ciently low,you canstore food in the refrigerator.Afterstartingthe refrigerator,it takesa few hoursto reachthe appropriate temperature.

pizza etc.
