Safety information

How to minimize energy consumption

• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. - Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (e.g., a radiator). - Do not block any vents or grilles; this is recommended for energy efficiency. - Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. - Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. - Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. - The shorter the time the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer. - Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption. - Do not set the temperature colder than necessary. - Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings. - Allow clearance to the right, left, back, and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

• We recommend the following clearance values:

- Right, left, and back sides: more than 50 mm

- Top side: more than 100 mm

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
• bed and breakfast type environments;
• catering and similar non-retail applications.

Severe warning signs for transportation and site

WARNING

- When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

• Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work 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.
• This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R-600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

These sounds are normal.

- When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

- While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

- During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.

Troubleshooting

- As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

- As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working.

• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.

Appendix

Appendix

Temperature Instruction

Recommended Temperature

The optimal temperature settings for food storage:

• Fridge: 3 °C
• Freezer: -19 °C

NOTE

The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature. The optimal temperature is based on an ambient temperature of 25°C.

Power Cool

Power Cool speeds up the cooling process at maximum fan speed. The fridge keeps running at full speed for two and a half hours and then returns to the previous temperature.

Power Freeze

Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps running at full speed for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature. To freeze large amounts of food, activate Power Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in the freezer.

NOTE

When you use this function, the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase. Remember to turn it off when you don't need it and return the freezer to your original temperature setting.

How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)

Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers before being refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers before refrigerating.

Placement of Foods

Shelves	Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of packages.
Specialized compartment (applicable models only)	Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage environment for fruits and vegetables. Vegetables require higher humidity conditions while fruits require lower humidity conditions.Crispers are equipped with controls devices to control the humidity level. (*Depending on model and options) An adjustable temperature meat drawer maximizes the storage time of meats and cheeses.

Stored on the door	Don’t store perishable foods in the door. Eggs should be stored in the carton on a shelf. The temperature of the storage bins in the door fluctuate more than the temperature in the cabinet. Keep the door closed as much as possible.
Freezer Compartment	You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, place in airtight containers.
