INSTALLATION
1.To ensure adequate ventilation for your refrigerator, it is recom-
mended to provide space of 6cm on both sides and at the back,
and space of 9cm above the refrigerator. Insuf ficient spacing will
decrease the cooling efficiency, resulting in unnecessary consumption of electricity.
2.Using the two front Adjustable feet, ensure that the refrigerator is
positioned firmly and level on the floor.
3.In order to prevent possible electric shock, install the grounding
wire to the earth wire connecting screw at the rear of the
refrigerator. (2 pin plug region)
NOTE:
When transporting
1.Before transporting, wipe dry any water in the
Evaporating pan located on the rear.
2.Carry the refrigerator by holding the handles located on the rear and bottom.
• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight.
• Do not place next to heat generating appliance.
• Do not place directly on the ground. Provide suitable
stand.

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 the 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
packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
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.
CARE AND CLEANING
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
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.
OUT
Some household cleaning chemicals may affect
the inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting
in splitting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic
parts inside this refrigerator,
only use diluted dishwashing
liquid(soapy water). Make
sure that all plastic parts are
thoroughly rinsed with water
after cleaning.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing
water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe

Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
3.
4.Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5.Whenever the refrigerator is moved to clean or repositioned, the Evaporating pan should be removed
and cleaned.
NOTE:
• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not
wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can
result.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components
as they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.

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
following 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).
4
• 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.
