THIS REFRIGERATOR IS MANUFACTURED WITH GREAT CARE AND UTILIZES THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY.

WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE FULLY SATISFIED WITH ITS PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY.

BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY.

IT PROVIDES EXACT INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND

MAINTENANCE, AND ALSO SUPPLIES SOME USEFUL HINTS.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

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.

An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous attraction to children. Remove either gaskets, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused appliance, or take some other action to make it harmless.

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.

DO NOT MODIFY OR EXTEND THE POWER CORD LENGTH

It will cause electric shock or fire.

No Yes

This appliance must be grounded (earthed). DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

Do not store inflammable materials, explosives, or chemicals in the refrigerator.

WARNING

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."

INSTALLATION

1. Place your refrigerator where it is easy to use.
2. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3. To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge-freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.
4. To avoid vibrations, the refrigerator must be level. If necessary, adjust the leveling screw(s) to compensate for unevenness of the floor. To close the doors easily, the front should be slightly higher than the rear. Leveling screw(s) can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screw(s) clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.

NEXT

1. Wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping and clean your refrigerator thoroughly.
2. Install accessories such as the ice cube box, evaporating tray cover, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipping.
3. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
4. Prior to use, let the refrigerator run for 2-3 hours. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling has taken place. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead to higher electric bills!
• When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
• Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation.

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

• Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

CLEANING

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.

Before you clean, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands.

EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. If you have the No Frost model which defrosts automatically, leave both doors open during the entire cleaning process.

Disconnect the power supply, and remove food and all compartment shelves, storage trays etc.

Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry.

INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays, and magnetic door seals etc. with the baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

WARNING

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing a electric shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.

GENERAL INFORMATION

VACATION TIME

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.

Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.

When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.

DRY ICE WARNING

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2).

When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, and death by suffocation.

Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.

IF YOU MOVE

If you move, empty the refrigerator (freezer) completely and wash a mild solution of baking soda and water. (2 TBS soda to 1 quart water) Be sure the soda is completely dissolved to avoid scratching the inside of the refrigerator (freezer). Secure any loose items, such as racks, bins, ice trays, etc. Do not try to move a loaded refrigerator.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may

sometimes get warm, especially just after installation.

Don't be alarmed.

This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.

Anti-Condensation Pipe

LAMP REPLACEMENT

1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove refrigerator shelves.
3. To remove the lamp cover, insert a slotted driver at the one of under hole of the lamp cover and pull it out forwards.
4. Turn the lamp counterclockwise.
5. Assemble in reverse order of disassembly. Replacement bulb must be the same specification as original.
