Never damage, serverely bend, pull out, or twist the power cord because power cord damage may cause a fire or electronic shock.
Never place glass products in the freezer because they may be broken when their inner contents are frozen.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

HANDLE TANK CAP TANK(SMALL) CAP TANK(BIG) WATER TANK VALVE ASSEMBLYInstall
Please assemble the VALVE ASSEMBLY after correctly adjusting it with a DOOR HOLE
Filling of WATER TANK
-
After turning the HANDLE Tank backward with the WATER TANK installed at the DOOR, Open the CAP TANK (SMALL) and then fill water using a kettle etc.
* Fill water while watching a sight glass on the front of the WATER TANK. * Water up to 4.5 ℓ can be filled. -
Press and fix the CAP TANK(SMALL).
-
After filling spring water, fix the HANDLE TANK at a proper position.
Drinking
- Press the Dispenser Pad with a cup.
- If pressing the Pad, water inside of the Dispenser is supplied.
- If slowly removing a cup from the Pad, water will not fall down.
Caution
Do not use other beverage (milk, juice, carbonated beverage etc) than spring water. Especially beverage including grain must not be used (may result in failure).
Storing Food
- Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.
- Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
- When storing the food, use 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 cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
- Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
- To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
- Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.
- 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.
NOTE
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
