1. Select a good location.
   Place your refrigerator where it is easy to use.
2. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3. There must be proper air circulation around your refrigerator to keep it operating efficiently. If your refrigerator is placed in a recessed area in the wall, allow at least 10 inches or greater clearance above the refrigerator and 2 inches or more from the wall. The refrigerator should be elevated 1 inch from the floor, especially if it is carpeted.
4. To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for unevenness of the 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 clockwise( ) to raise the unit, counterclockwise( ) to lower it.
5. Don't install this appliance below 5°. It may cause the debasement of the refrigerator.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. You have a model with bar-type handle, assemble the handle according to instruction card.
4. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
5. Prior to storing food, leave your refrigerator on for 2 or 3 hours. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

OPERATIONS

AUTO OFF FEATURE OF LAMP INSIDE

when the door is open for 10 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off automatically to save energy and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the door is closed.

BEFORE SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Since the temperature of the refrigerator is automatically kept constant regardless of the season, it is recommended not to change the settings (the controls for the refrigerator and freezer compartments) unless it is necessary.
• This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and one temperature control dial for the freezer compartment.
• The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment is 'Normal'.
• The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is '5'.
• Since this refrigerator uses a thermostat for the refrigerator compartment, the refrigerator starts to run when the temperature of the refrigerator compartment drops.

OPERATIONS

You can set Refrigerator temperature using the 'REF. TEMP'. Whenever pressing the button, the LED emit light.

The temperature of the compartment is lowered as the LED luminesce from "MIN" to "MAX".

You can select the desired setting point five steps (from the MIN to the MAX).

For the economic electricity, set the led to the 'MIN' position.

SUPER COOL

- The super cool system operates, when the power is supplied first. So, you can store food more fresh. The super cool system is released when the temperature of refrigerator compartment get specified degree.

- If needed press the 'SUPER COOL' button on the display panel.

The function on and off whenever the button is pressed. The function is released (off) if you don't cease the function and the food is cooled sufficiently.

DOOR ALARM

When the door of the refrigerator or the freezer is left opened for a while, the alarm sounds three times 1 minute after and then three times every 30 seconds.

SELF TEST

CONTROLS FOR FREEZER COMPARTMENT

● The higher number the control setting is, the lower the temperature of the Freezer compartment becomes.
- Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.
- When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter, adjust the control for the freezer to High (7–10).

BOTTLE RACK COOLING

● Cool air vent is placed on the refrigerator door to provide Bottle Rack with cool air.
- When you newly put a food on Bottle Rack, a sensor in the middle of the fresh food section detects it and then provides Bottle Rack with cool air. As a result, cooling time is shortened.
- If water of foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered owing to the escape of cool air.

ICE MAKING

● To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place

FRESH MEAT

• When the door is opened, the warmer air don't influence
  in the fresh meat. So you can store food more fresh in it.
• The shelf and inserted fresh meat must be placed at its position. If it is moved, the fresh meat can't fill the role of it.

DEFROSTING

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

DEODORIZER(OPTIONAL)

• By using an "TiO2 catalyst," deodorizing performance is guaranteed.
  ● Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food compartment is deodorized with no harm to you and the food.

How to use

- As the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is no need for any handling.

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 the food, cover it 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, and cause 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 causes loss of 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.

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

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 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.
