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

WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE FULLY SATISFIED WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY.

BEFORE YOU START 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 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.

OPERATION

STARTING

When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

If operation is interrupted, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

□ REFRIGERATOR

5 6 7 4 3 8 2 9 COLD 1 COLDEST

TEMP. CONTROL

• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the TEMP. CONTROL at "5" and the COLD AIR CONTROL at "5" (plastic shelf) or "7" (steel shelf).
  Leave it operating for 24 hours(one day) to stabilize.
  Then adjust the compartment temperature according to your desire.

FREEZER

COLD AIR CONTROL 1 FREEZER. MIN 5 NORMAL 8 FREEZER. MAX 7 3

(PLASTIC SHELF)

• TEMP. CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

The higher the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

• COLD AIR CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Setting at "8", the freezer compartment becomes colder.

But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator compartment.

COLD AIR CONTROL FOR STEEL SHELF 1 FREEZER. MIN 7 NORMAL 8 FREEZER. MAX • 5876

(STEEL SHELF)

- In cold weather the unit operates less and the freezer compartment has a tendency to warm up.

For colder freezer, turn the COLD AIR CONTROL to "7"\~"8".

- If you take a lot of foods in the freezer or open its door frequently, its temperature is apt to be somewhat higher. In this case, set the COLD AIR CONTROL dial between 7 and 8 to cool it. Return the COLD AIR CONTROL dial to the original position to cut down the consumption of energy.

- In hot weather or to put much foods in the refrigerator compartment, the refrigerator compartment has a tendency to warm up.

For colder refrigerator, turn the COLD AIR CONTROL to "2"\~"4" to direct more cold air into the refrigerator compartment, and the TEMP. CONTROL to "7"\~"9".

Setting at "7"\~"8" of the COLD AIR CONTROL, the refrigerator compartment will not be cold enough.

- Setting the Freezer Knob at □□ will satisfy 4 STAR.

Setting the Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORMAL.

OPERATION

ICE MAKING

Twisting Ice Serve Type

●To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and insert in its position.
●To remove ice cubes, hold the knob of the tray and turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop in the ice cube box.
●(In case of a steel shelf) To place a shelf at a higher position, remove the ice cube box, and place the shelf, and then replace the ice cube box.

DEFROSTING

●Defrosting takes place automatically.
- The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which is located in the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and defrosted is an important factor in maintaining 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 high electric bills!
• When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutritional valve.
• 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.
  ● To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional valve.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

- Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.

- It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Shelf Vegetable Drawer

● 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, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.

• If you keep the refrigerator 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.
• If droplets form beneath the cover of the vegetable drawer, keep vegetables or fruits wrapped by plastic wrap.

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, however, 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 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 a 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 short circuit. 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.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.

To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.

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.
