Condensation may also build on the outer cabinet and cause rust. 1 Keep adequate ventilation space around the refrigerator.The fi gure shows the minimum • required space for installing the refrigerator. The measurement condition of power consumption is conducted under a different space dimension. By keeping greater space, • the refrigerator may be operated under a less amount of power consumption.If using the refrigerator in the smaller space dimension • than the below fi gure, it may cause the temperature rise in the unit, loud noise and failure. The space between the rear of the refrigerator and the • wall should be 60mm or more and less than 75mm. If the space is wider than 75mm, you may get injured by touching compressor and its peripheral parts which are extremely hot during the operation. 2 Use the two front adjustable feet, to ensure that the refrigerator is positioned fi rmly and fl at on the fl oor.

STORING FOOD IN OUT Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure

that the food is of the freshest possible quality.

The following is a general guide to help promote longer food

To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be

loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not

seal) and place in the vegetable crisper or the fruit case.

If you store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no

effect on the operation or the performance. Use a dry cloth to
