Solid and level floor

• Unleveled floor will cause vibration and noise while operating the refrigerator.
• The Refrigerator should not be installed on the floor covered with carpet.
• Adjust the refrigerator leveling legs as per the floor to prevent issues like door misalignment, refrigerator malfunctioning.

Shady and humid place

- Avoid placing the refrigerator to direct sunlight, near to heat source such as gas stove etc, as it can weaken the refrigerator cooling performance.

• Avoid placing the refrigerator close to a sink and near a water source that can cause rust and corrosion.
• Avoid locations where moisture can cause electrical problems.
• Avoid placing the refrigerator just beneath the ceiling fan as it can cause frost formation inside the freezer.

The space required for installing the appliance is shown below. (unit: mm)

More than 100 mm from left, right, back sides and 250 mm from top is required for good ventilation. Insufficient space causes noise due to vibration, weakening of refrigerating cooling and waste of electricity.

11. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before calling for service, check for the following observations and their potential reasons and suggestions to try out:

Observations Suggestion
Refrigerator does not work properly/does not get cold enough	Check the refrigerator is plugged and switched ON power supplyCheck that the refrigerator is placed in such a way that there are proper clearances on the side and top surfaces as mentioned above.Check if the refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight or is in close proximity to Gas range / Stove/ OTG or any heat source.Check whether the temperature setting is at "Winter" condition, if it is then change setting back to "Monsoon / Summer" condition depending on your requirement.Check the air gaps behind the glass shelves are blocked due to excess storage inside the refrigerator.Check if the refrigerator loaded with hot food.Check if the door is kept opened.
Food freezes in the refrigerator compartment	Check whether the temperature settings are in maximum cold temperature condition, if it is then change settings back to midflow depending on your requirement.This situation can happen if the ambient temperature near the refrigerator is very less, try to set the refrigerator to higher temperature settings.Avoid placing moist food or move the food away from the coldest parts of the refrigerator area such as near to duct/vent openings.
Moisture formation outside the refrigerator	Ensure that the refrigerator is not placed directly beneath ceiling fan.Moisture can be formed during the rainy season or through continuous hot and humid days. Wipe out the surface with a dry cloth.
Moisture formation inside the refrigerator	Make sure that doors are not left open for long time if possible, reduce the frequency of back to back door openings which will increase the chances of moisture entry inside the refrigeratorAvoid placing moist food inside the refrigerator without lid
Refrigerator sounds noisy	Ensure adequate spacing behind refrigerator with the walls of room in which it is placed.Make sure that the floor is firm and refrigerator is levelled properly on it.
Sounds like water flowing in the refrigerator/freezer section	This sound is due to the Refrigerant R600a gas flow and it happens when compressor starts and stops which is part of normal operation of Refrigerator
Doors do not open easily	Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it. Do not try to force the doors to open: wait for some time before trying again.
Side of the Refrigerator feels warm	Side part of the appliance may feel warm because of the skin condenser provided to prevent moisture formation which is not a product failure.

• In case of predicted power failure, do not store any more food and make as much ice as you can to put it on the upper shelf of the fresh food compartment. The inside would be kept cold.

When not using for a long time

• Clean the inside and leave the doors open for 2\~3 days in order to prevent mold development or odor saturation.
• Your device is equipped with a maintenance free LED light. Any repair work on the lighting must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Allow hot food to cool before storing in the refrigerator as it can spoil other food items and lead to higher energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently / Do not keep the door open for a long time as it can cause rise in temperature of the refrigerator/ freezer compartment and also leads to higher energy consumption.
  For retaining freshness of vegetables (other than leafy vegetables) for longer durations, it is advisable to store them in food grade poly-bags.
