DANGER
Don't store
Grounding (Earthing)
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.
WARNING
Important Safety Instruction
⚠️ Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
⚠ Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
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.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m^2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
Important Safety Instruction
CAUTION
- If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. It may cause electric shock or fire.
- Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet. You may disconnect a wire and cause a short circuit.
- Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug. Remove any foreign matter from the power plug pins. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.
- Do not put your hands into the bottom area of the appliance. Any Sharp edges may cause personal injury..
- After unplugging the appliance, wait for at least five minutes before plugging it again to the wall socket. Abnormal operation of the freezer may cause materia damage.

Fresh 0 Zone (Option)
- This drawer is designed to set up 2°C lower than the temperature of the refrigerator compartment to keep the contents fresh for longer period. When setting up the refrigerator temperature (REF. TEMP.) to 2°C, the temperature in the fresh drawer is about 0°C.
Note
The actual inner temperature varies depending on the food status, as the indicated setting temperature is a target temperature, not actual temperature within refrigerator.
Refrigeration function is weak in the initial time. Please adjust temperature as above after using refrigerator for minimum 2\~3 days.
Super Freezer
Function

- This function automatically detects failure when failure is found in product during the use of refrigerator.
- If the failure occurs at product and it does not operate by pressing any button and normal indication is not done, do not turn the power off and immediately contact with the local service center.
- A lot of time is needed for service engineer to detect the failed part by turning it off.
• To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray to the water level and place it in the freezer.
- If ice cubes are required fast, press the 'SUPER FRZ.'button.
• To remove ice cubes, hold the tray at its ends and twist gently.
natural_image

Defrosting takes place automatically.
The defrosting water flows down to the evaporating tray and is evaporated automatically.
Energy-Saving Method
• Install the fridge in a shady,cool and well-ventilated place.
- Do not open and close the door frequently if not necessary.
- Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
- Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.
- Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
- Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor.
- Food need't store is not advised to be put in.
- Place the deep-frozen food for thawing intorefrigerator; they can be used for cooling the refrigerator. (Applicabe to some models only)
- Clean up the back cover and anti-condensation pipe termly (once a year) to make sure heat exchange in gear. (Applicabe to some models only)
- Do not block air vents with food. (Applicabe to some models only)
Storing Food
Storing Food
- Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.
- Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
- When storing the food, use 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 cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
- Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
- To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
- Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.
- Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
- Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
- Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
Note
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.
Power Failure
If You Move
Anti Condensation Pipe
General Information
- 1\~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
• Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape. - 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.
