OPERATION
CONTROLLING TEMPERATURES
The refrigerator controls its temperature automatically. However, if needed, adjust the temperature as follows.
Freezer compartment
7(MAX)
For making ice rapidly or fast freezing.
4(MED)
For normal freezing.
1(MIN)
When frozen food or ice cream is not stored.
• If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with FREEZER
TEMP. CONTROL set at 7(MAX), foods stored in the refrigerator compartment may also freeze.
Refrigerator compartment
7(Coldest)
For keeping foods fresher tasting.
When the refrigerator does not provide
sufficient cooling.
4(MED)
For normal operation.
1(MIN)
When the refrigerator provides excessive
cooling.
• If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL set at 7 (Coldest), foods
stored in the refrigerator compartment may also freeze.
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to
freeze even if REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set
to 1 (MIN).
HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE
1.Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes
will be joined together when frozen.
2.When the ice cubes are made, turn the lever clockwise
to empty the ice into Ice cube box.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not
make ice in the Ice cube box or pour oil into it.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving
system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time is proportional
to the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e.,
the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during
the winter season or you’re away on holidays), the longer
the time between each defrost cycle.

DEODORIZING UNIT
A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because
it automatically starts operating when the refrigerator is
powered on.

STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that
the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is
a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags ( do
not seal ) and place in Vegetable crisper. Those fruits and
vegetables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not require
wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer pack-
aging which informs the recommended temperature and
shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
NOTE:
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases
the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
Do not place food directly in
front of cold air outlet. This
may lead to the food freezing.
IN
OUT
MILK
MILK
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
FOR BEST FREEZING
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air
should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.

for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior
thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power
socket and leave all doors open.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following point.
IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the follow-
ing sounds.
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation
starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --
- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic
defrost operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) ---
Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become
louder from time to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts
during cooling.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and
contraction of internal parts.
IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot
when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to
prevent dew generation.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE
Refer to your nearest service agent.
