Safety information

• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor label on the rear of the appliance or the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your refrigerator. When this product contains flammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• 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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1 m ^3 in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
  The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked flames and move anything flammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
• Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised Service Person to service this appliance.

English20

Additional tips for proper usage

• In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electric company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
• Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
• Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

Safety information

- The temperature of two star section (sections) or compartment (compartments) which have two star symbol (*) is slightly higher than other freezer compartment (compartments).

How to use the Curd Maestro™

To make curd: Press Curd to select Soft or Thick mode.

To turn off the Curd Maestro™: Press and hold Curd for 3 seconds.

1. Heat milk at 80 °C or higher. Allow the milk to cool down to around 40-43 °C , then pour it into the curd container.
2. Add a starter (about 1.5-20 % of the amount of milk) to the milk in the curd container and mix well.
3. Close the curd container lid, put the curd container into the Curd Maestro™, and then select Soft or Thick.
4. When curd making is complete (approximately 7-9 hours), Serve LED turns on and an alarm will sound.

NOTE

Thickness and flavor of the curd depend on the type of milk as well as the type and ratio of starter used.

1. Select the Serve mode to store curd in the curd container.

CAUTION

• You cannot make curd using low temperature (25 °C or lower) milk.
• If you are not using the Curd Maestro™, turn the Curd Maestro™ off.
• Always close the lid on the curd container. If the lid is not closed, contents may get into the Curd Maestro™, causing malfunction.
• Do not put hot milk (over 50 °C) or other beverages in the curd container.
• Do not use stale milk to make curd.
• Clean the curd container and lid after each use to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Use a smooth, damp cloth to clean inside the Curd Maestro™ in the refrigerator. Be careful not to hurt your hands while cleaning.
• Clean the curd container with lukewarm water using neutral detergent.

Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear and side walls or the cabinet. Failing to do so may affect the cooling performance.Too much food may block the ventilation of the refrigerator. To keep the refrigerator in normal operation, do not put too much food inside.
Food in the fridge freezes.	Check if the temperature control is set to the lowest temperature. If so, change the temperature to higher or optimal or **.This happens if the ambient temperature is too low. Set the temperature higher.Check if food containing a high portion of water is put in the coldest area of the fridge or near the cooling vent. If this happens, move the food to other shelves in the fridge.

Make sure the refrigerator is installed on a stable, flat surface.Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear and side walls or the cabinet.Make sure to keep the refrigerator from impurities or foreign objects inside or underneath.The refrigerator may produce a ticking sound from inside, which occurs when the various removable parts contract or expand. This is not a system failure.
The front corners and sides become warm and form condensation.	To prevent condensation from forming, the refrigerator has heat-proof piping in the front corners. If the ambient temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively. This is not a system failure.Condensation may form on the exterior surface of the refrigerator if humid air comes into contact with the cool surface of the refrigerator.
