Here are the features of your new refrigerator.
Take a moment to know all the features designed for the convenience of the user.
■Ice Tray
Fill 3/4 of the ice tray with water, as the volume expands when the water is frozen. Place the tray in the
freezer compartment. To release ice cubes, twist the ice tray slightly. Ice cubes will be easier to remove
if it is held for a short while under running water.
■Movable refrigerator and freezer shelves
Storage shelves should be adjusted depending on the height of the food stored. To do this, pull the
shelves slightly forward.
■Defrost-drain Vessel
Since dust accumulated on the drain case decreases the evaporation efficiency, you should clean the
drain case at regular intervals.

■Lamp Cover
To remove the lamp cover
1. Push up the bottom end of lamp cover gently, then
pull out.
2. Reverse procedure to join together.
■Vegetable case
May be used for fruit and vegetable storage. Both the
vegetable case and its cover shelf are removable for
easy cleaning. Simply slide forward to remove.

METHODS OF SAFE INSTALLATION
1. SAFE INSTALLATION PLACE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Atleast 6cm
Atleast 6cm
Atleast 30cm
Carpet
Wooden Board,
Rubber Mat
• Place the refrigerator on a
strong and level floor.
Unstable installation can
produce noise and vibration.
• Place your refrigerator
where there is no heat
source nearby.
High atmosphere
temperature will lower
cooling efficiency and
increase your electricity bill.
• Place the refrigerator in an
area where the humidity
level is low.
Splashing water on the refri-
gerator or installing the unit
in a humid area may cause
short circuit and rust.
• Avoid places that are
exposed to coal gas or
smoke, or discoloring may
occur on the refrigerator.
• For good ventilation, keep
enough space between the
sidewalls and your
refrigerator.
This helps to cool efficiently
and lowers the electricity bill.
• Putting the refrigerator on
the carpet may cause
temperature rise and result
in the discoloring of the
carpet due to the
compressor heat.
In such a case, place a hard
wooden board or a rubber
mat between the carpet and
the unit.

How to Install
Location
Install the refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow at least 6cm
clearance between the refrigerator and side wall so that the door may open for a fully usable interior and
the refrigerator may have good air circulation. The refrigerator is not designed for recessed installation.
■Select a strong and level floor.
■Keep 6cm of space between the refrigerator and the
walls.
Leveling
Level the refrigerator so that it rests solidly on the floor without rocking. There are two leveling feet at each
front corner. Turn to the left to raise a corner, to the right to lower it. Use shims under the rear corners, if
necessary.
■If you want the refrigerator door to close naturally, adjust the leveling feet so that the front of the
refrigerator is raised by 5mm.
■If you want the refrigerator to remain motionless when open, adjust the leveling feet so that all four
corners are leveled with each other.

How to operate
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature is controlled by thermostat automatically.
The Temperature Control inside the refrigerator controls the degree of cooling for each compartment.
Freezer Temperature Control
The control has four settings form MIN to
WINTER. The WINTER mode is available only if
atmosphere temperature is below 10°C.

Starting your new refrigerator
1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a dry cloth, and the inside with a damp cloth.
2. Set the temperature control knob at normal position.
3. Connect the power supply cord.
To control temperature
Many factors may influence the internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
■The temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment.
■The opening frequency of the doors and the amount of warm food placed in the refrigerator.
■The combination of food and containers stored in the refrigerator.
For these reasons, you may want to adjust the control to suit the season and your needs.

10
■Turn the temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartments toward WINTER for colder
temperature and toward MIN for warmer temperature.
■Allow approximately 12 hours or overnight for the temperature to stabilize.
Then check to see if further adjustments are necessary.
To turn off the refrigerator
Disconnect the power supply cord. Remove icing case and food. Leave doors ajar for ventilation and
dehumidification of both compartments.
2. DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR
You will never have to defrost your refrigerator as it is designed to defrost itself completely and automatically.
3. RADIANT HEAT
With the Refrigerating System in operation, it is likely that the cabinet will feel warm at the front edges and
sides. This does not indicate trouble.
It is due to the hot-line used in this type of Refrigerating System which consists of piping hot gas from the
(motor-driven) compressor along the front edges, the sides of the cabinet and the center partition to
prevent dewing. This has nothing to do with the storage temperature inside.
(The thick line indicates the hot-line)
CAUTION
To avoid the risk of electric shock or death, unplug the power cord before replacing a burned out
light bulb or cleaning the inner parts.
NOTE: During spells of hot, humid weather and in rainy season,
moisture may develop on the cabinet, just as water condenses
around a cold glass of water. It is not an abnormal condition ;
wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth. This can also happen
when the refrigerator is not installed in an appropriate place.
