This fridge-freezer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instruction before it is used.
Never unplug your fridge-freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
After your fridge-freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Pull out the power plug prior to cleaning the fridge-freezer. Never damage, severely bend, pull out, or twist the power cord because power cord damage may cause a fire or electronic shock. Never place glass products in the freezer because they may be broken when their inner contents are frozen.
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Risk of child entrapment.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
A Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
A Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
If you found some parts missing from your unit, they may be parts only used in other models.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise( ) to raise the unit, clockwise( ) to lower it.
When your fridge-freezer is installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
If power plug is disconnected, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting.
Your fridge-freezer is now ready for use.
Your fridge-freezer has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the fridge and freezer compartments.
TEMP. CONTROL
The quick freeze operation takes about 3 hours.
When its operation ends, it automatically returns to the normal state. If you want to stop the quick freeze operation, press the 'QUICK FREEZE' button once more, the lamp goes out, and the quick freeze operation stops and the refrigerator returns to the normal state.
This function makes the fridge-freezer work in a power saving mode which is useful for when you are away on holiday, by reducing energy consumption as much as possible. Pressing 'VACATION' starts operation with lamp ON and pressing it again stops the operation. For better functioning, you should set the TEMP. CONTROL to "WARM".
This function allows you to check for operational problems. If you think you have a problem with your fridge-freezer, then press the temperature control button:
When the door of the fridge is left opened for a while, the alarm sounds.
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.
Defrosting takes place automatically.
The defrosting water flows down to the evaporating tray and is evaporated automatically.
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.
Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
Anti-Condensation Pipe
Be sure to unplug the power.
Clean the outside of the fridge-freezer with a soft cloth soaked with hot water or liquid detergent. If you use a detergent, be sure to wipe it with a clean wet cloth.
As above.
Check that the power cord is not damaged, power plug has not overheated, and that the power plug is tightly inserted into the outlet.
Be sure to dry the appliance with a cloth after washing it with water.
Do not use abrasive, petroleum, benzene, thinner, hydrochloride acid, boiling water, rough brush, etc, as they may damage parts of the fridge-freezer.
