OPERATIONS

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, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

□REFRIGERATOR

TEMP. CONTROL

FREEZER

• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Initially, dials are set at mid-point. For colder temperatures, adjust Refrigerator Compartment dial to the "COLDEST", and for warmer temperatures adjust the dial to the "COLD".

• FREEZER CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Setting at "9", the freezer compartment becomes colder.
But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator compartment.
• In cold weather the unit operates less and the freezer compartment has a
tendency to warm up. For colder freezer, turn the FREEZER CONTROL to "7"\~9".

- 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 FREEZER CONTROL dial between 7 and 9 to cool it. Return the FREEZER CONTROL dial to the original position to cut down the consumption of energy

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. - Caution for Cleaning

ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)

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.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

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.
