• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor
label on the rear of the appliance or the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your appliance. When
this product contains ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact
your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• In order to avoid the creation of a 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 must be 1 m3 in size for
every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on
the identication plate inside the appliance.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye
injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked
ames and move anything ammable away from the product and
ventilate the room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following
instructions:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a signicant
increase of the temperature in the compartments of the

• The surface to install the refrigerator
must support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• To protect the oor, put a large piece
of cardboard on each leg of the

• For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.
The refrigerator can be levelled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveller) for
levelling purposes. Use a at-head screwdriver for levelling.
To adjust the height of the freezer side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the freezer-side front leg. Turn
the leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
To adjust the height of the fridge side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the

this happens, wipe up with dry cloths.
STEP 8 Initial settings
By completing the following steps, the refrigerator should be fully functioning.
1. Plug the power cord into the wall socket to turn the refrigerator on.
2. Open the door, and check if the interior light lights up.
3. Set the temperature to the coldest, and wait for about an hour. Then, the freezer will be
slightly chilled, and the motor will run smoothly.
4. Wait until the refrigerator reaches the set temperature. Now the refrigerator is ready
for use.
STEP 9 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The refrigerator is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The refrigerator is installed on a at, level surface with a reasonable clearance from the
wall or the cabinet.
• The refrigerator is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The door opens and closes freely, and the interior light turns on automatically when

• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
CAUTION
Dispense the ice according to the size of the cup.
• If you dispense excessive amount, ice may fall out on the ground and cause personal
injury.
• Ice may accumulate and block the ice chute.

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to
normal sounds will be charged to the user.
These sounds are normal.
• When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a
car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.
• While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the
set temperature, no fan sound will occur.
• During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Bubbling!
Cracking!
• As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes,
causing bubbling sounds.
• As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and
expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or
when electronic parts are working.
• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to ll the ice maker, buzzing
sounds may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing
sounds may occur.

How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods.
A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in
shallow containers before being refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should
be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers before refrigerating.

Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of
packages.
