Here are the features of your new refrigerator.
Take a moment to know all the features designed for the convenience of the user.
§§ ö
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.
§§ ö
Movable refrigerator and freezer shelves
Storage shelves should be adjusted depending on the height of the stored. To do this, pull the
shelves slightly forward.
§§ ö
Defrost-drain Vessel
Since dust accumulated on the drain case decreases the evaporation efficiency, you should
clean the drain case at regular intervals.

§§ ö
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.
§§ ö
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.
§§ ö
Utility Pocket (Top)
The Egg Case in this pocket can be turned upside
down for the storage of small size goods.
§§ ö
For lock installed refrigerators only.
CAUTION: 1. Check your voltage before inserting the power supply cord into the socket.
2. Contact the earthing conductor to this unit with an attachment earthing screw.
3. Do not spill liquid on this unit.
4. Do not use flammable spray, such as painting, near this unit.
5. Do not place ignitable material, such as benzine, L.P. gas, alcohol etc., into this
unit.
6. Take precautions against leakage of any gas equipment near this unit.
7. Keep children from hanging on the door of this unit.
8. Do not reinsert the power supply cord within 5 minutes after releasing it from the
socket. If not, there may be problems with the compressor.
CAUTION
When you put or take out food from the refrigerator, be careful not to hit your head on the lock
as there is a protrusion on the door of your refrigerator.

METHODS OF SAFE INSTALLATION
1. SAFE INSTALLATION PLACE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
¥ 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
refrigerator 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.
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.

2. INSTALLATION STEPS
¥ Select a safe place to install
your refrigerator. ¥ Level the refrigerator by using the adjustable feet. ¥ Install the parts in their own place.
¥ Check if the doors are
completely closed. ¥ Check the voltage. Then wait about an hour
before plugging the power
cord into the outlet.
¥ Put food in the refrigerator
after running the refrigerator
for 2~3 hours.

3. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING OR
RELOCATING THE REFRIGERATOR!
¥ Unplung the power cord. ¥ Detach the grille and the
defrost-drain vessel from the
refrigerator with §]driver
and then remove water from
the defrost-drain vessel
located at the rear of the
refrigerator.
¥ Take food out of the
refrigerator.
¥ Fasten the interior
components with adhesive
tape.
¥ Have two people carry the
refrigerator to move safely.
¥ Fasten the doors with
adhesive tape to prevent
from opening while moving.

4. CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
¥ Before you clean the
refrigerator, unplug the
power cord. To clean, use a
soft piece of cloth. Wash
with warm, soapy water
rinse and dry.
¥ The refrigerator may smell
during the initial operation,
but the odour will fade away
when the refrigerator is
cooled sufficiently.
¥ Use a soft cloth for cleaning
the interior and exterior of
the refrigerator.
¥ Do not sprinkle water
directly on the refrigerator
itself.
¥ Put the parts back in their
original positions after
cleaning.

How to Install
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.
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.
NOTE: All packing materials used to ensure safety during transport should be removed. You
must remove the transport safty packing and wipe off any possible adhesive tape
residues with a petroleum-based cleaner or similar solvent.

How to operate
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROL
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.
Many factors may influence the internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
§§ ö
The temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment.
§§ ö
The opening frequency of the doors and the amount of warm food placed in the refrigerator.
§§ ö
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.
To control temperature
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 LOW to
WINTER. The WINTER mode is available
only if atmosphere temperature is below 10°C.

Refrigerator Temperature Control
The control has the four settings from LOW to

only if atmosphere temperature is below 10°C.
3133-53 GE(GTU358BAMR)¿ 01.11.29 10:15 AM ˘`9

§§ ö
Turn the temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartments toward WINTER for
colder temperature and toward MIN for warmer temperature.
§§ ö
Allow approximately 12 hours or overnight for the temperature to stabilize.
Then check to see if further adjustments are necessary.
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)
To turn off the refrigerator

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.
