4. LOCATION

WARNING

This refrigerator/freezer is not intended for outdoor use.

This appliance is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used.

CAUTION

The location should provide a firm and level foundation for the refrigerator/freezer.

IMPORTANT

Normal operating ambient temperature should be within 5^ C to 38^ C. Operation of the refrigerator/freezer, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect cooling performance.

Allow at least 50 cm clearance between the front panel air inlet/outlet and the wall or other equipment for proper air circulation. The front of the unit should have enough space for smooth adjustment of the cabinet temperature. If the ambient temperature can exceed 38°C, allow at least 10 cm clearance from the wall at the side of the machine compartment to prevent overloading and damaging the refrigeration circuit.

ENGLISH

1) Tilt the unit backward to mount the front legs (work in pair).
2) Mount the rear legs in the same way.
Note: For RTL/FTL-98DDAC, attach the five legs provided to the mounting holes located at the bottom of the unit.

CAUTION

Do not tilt the unit too much forward. The drawers may slide out.

3) Before operating the unit, remove all shipping carton, packing, tape(s) and protective plastic film on the exterior, interior and top panel. Be careful not to damage the exterior panels.
4) Position the unit in a selected site.
5) Clean the interior with a soft cloth soaked in cold or warm water Leg Height containing the proper amount of neutral cleaner and wrung dry.
6) Level the refrigerator/freezer in both the left-to-right and the front-to-rear directions. To adjust the height of the unit, turn the adjusters of the adjustable legs.

CAUTION

The height of the adjustable legs must be within 9 - 12 cm. If extended too much, the legs may become weak or the adjusters can come off, causing unexpected injuries.

NOTICE

Any heavy item such as cooking range, microwave oven, and fryer to be placed on the top panel must not exceed the maximum weight of 100 kg (RTL/FTL-98DDAC), 180 kg (RTL/FTL-140DDAC) or 250 kg (RTL/FTL-182DDAC).

6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

NOTICE

This refrigerator/freezer is provided with no power switch or earth leakage circuit breaker, but with overcurrent protection (fuse) only. Install an earth leakage circuit breaker with overload protection rated at least 10A on the main power supply.

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT

To prevent disconnection, be sure to use the cable straps to secure the flexible hose in place.

The drain line should be as short and straight as possible, sloped downward, and located below the drain outlet.

To prevent backflow, do not connect the flexible hose directly to the sewer system. An air gap of at least 5 cm should be between the end of the flexible hose and the floor drain.

If the flexible hose is too short to reach the floor commercial pipe to the flexible hose. Be sure to allow an air gap of at least 5 cm between the end of the drain pipe and the floor drain.

The drain connections are required to prevent ambient air from causing excessive frost build up on the evaporator, resulting in reduction of the refrigeration capacity.

Do not let water drain directly onto the floor before running into the drain. Foreign matter on the floor may mix into the water and clog the drain, or the water could run in a wrong direction.

II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Be careful not to wet the machine compartment. This might cause failure or electric shock hazard.

To prevent electric shock, do not touch the attachment plug with wet hands.

Do not store any volatile or flammable substances, such as benzine, ether, adhesives and LPG, in the unit.

CAUTION

This refrigerator/freezer is designed only for temporary storage of foods. Use for any other purposes (e.g. storage of chemicals or medical supplies such as vaccine and serum) could cause deterioration of stored items.

ENGLISH

Make sure all items are snug in each drawer.

Moist or fresh foods and those with a strong smell like seafood should be wrapped up in a plastic film or packed in a container. Otherwise the foods may dry up or give their smells to other foods.

Foods containing acetic acid or yeast should be wrapped up in a plastic film. Otherwise they may accelerate corrosion of the evaporator and copper tubes, resulting in failure.

Do not use the freezer to freeze foods. It is designed only to store frozen foods. High quality ice cream may melt during defrost cycle and should not be stored in the freezer.

The drawers may become difficult to open just after closed because of the negative pressure created inside the cabinet. Wait for about 30 seconds.
