ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

• Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.

• To get best performance of product,

- Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as it can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer compartment.

- Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before put it into the fridge freezer

- Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.

• There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply if you will be away

for less than three weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away for the three weeks or more. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.

• The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or

temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• Place the ice tray at the originally provided posistion by manufacturer in order to achieve

optimal ice-freezing.

• 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 paper such as newspaper.

• Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
