ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER
USAGE
• Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours
before loading foods after installation and
turning on.
• 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 position
by manufacturer in order to achieve optimal icefreezing.
• 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.
• Contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered
by the Kyoto Protocol.
• Foam blown with fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Foam blown additive:
Perfl uorohexane Global Warming
Potential (GWP) = 9000
• The temperature of two star section (sections) or
compartment (compartments) which have two star
symbol ( ) is slightly higher than other freezer
compartment (compartments).
The two star section (sections) or compartment
(compartments) is (are) based on the instruction
and/or the condition as delivered.
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).
- Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended
for energy efficiency.
- 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 sufficient 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.
- For the most efficient use of energy, please keep
the all inner fittings such as baskets, drawers,
shelves on the position supplied by manufacturer.
This appliance is intended to be
used in household and similar
applications such as
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other
working environments;
- farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments;
- catering and similar non-retail applications.
