• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce 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.

• Some foods (bananas, etc.) should not be refrigerated. Refrigeration can cause these foods to deteriorate.

• 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. Untitled-1 13 2021-07-30 10:37:30English14 Installation Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the proper installation of this refrigerator and to prevent accidents before using it. WARNING

1. Plug the power cord into the wall socket to turn the refrigerator on.

2. Open the door, and check if the interior light lights up.

3. Set the temperature to the coldest setting, and wait for about an hour. Then, the freezer

should be slightly chilled, and the motor should be running smoothly.

4. Wait until the refrigerator reaches the set temperature. The refrigerator is now ready

for use. STEP 6 Final check When installation is complete, conrm that:

• The refrigerator is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.

• The refrigerator is installed on a at, level surface with a reasonable clearance from the wall or the cabinet.

• The refrigerator is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.

Twist Ice Maker (applicable models only)

1. Open the freezer door, and slide open

2. Fill the tray with water up to the

maximum level (A) marked on the inner rear of the tray.

3. Slide the tray back into position.

NOTE The ice making time depends on your temperature settings. NOTE

• Make sure the ice bucket is in place under the ice tray.

• To dispense the ice cubes, turn the handle of the bin to the right to empty half of the ice cubes into the bin. Then, turn it to the left to empty the other half.

• Take out the bin by slightly twisting and pulling to the front. Untitled-1 19 2021-07-30 10:37:31Operations English20 Operations Auto Ice Maker (applicable models only) The refrigerator has an ice maker that automatically dispenses ice. Turning the Auto Ice Maker on or off You can turn the Auto Ice Maker on or off with the switch on the top of the refrigerator. For rst-time use

• Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days.

• Discard the rst 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system. Diagnosis If the Auto Ice Maker does not make ice, remove the ice bucket and press Test button to check if the Auto Ice Maker operates properly. Untitled-1 20 2021-07-30 10:37:32English 21 Operations CAUTION

• When the Auto Ice Maker is on, the refrigerator will keep making ice even when you remove the ice bucket. Make sure to turn the Auto Ice Maker off, when you are not going to use it.

• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket before using the refrigerator.

• Do not put ngers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.

• Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then forms large ice chunks. Therefore, if it will be a long time before you use ice, turn the ice maker off. NOTE If you are not using the Auto Ice Maker, you can remove the ice bucket for more storage space.
