Dry your refrigerator, with the door open for 2-3 days.

When out of operation for a long time

Securely fasten removable interiors parts (or move and package them separately).

Do not lay your refrigerator horizontally otherwise the compressor may get damaged.

Before transportation

Before you call for service, please check the following points by

yourself first (PROBLEM / POSSIBLE CAUSE)

May be in defrost cycle when motors does not operate for about 30 minutes.

If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at the wall electrical outlet.

If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp or a small

appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker.

REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT OPERATE

Modern refrigerators are larger and run colder, which require more running time

to provide more stable temperature.

Normally, when refrigerator is first delivered to your home, usually requires 24

hours to completely cool.

Large amounts of food is placed in the refrigerator to be cooled or frozen.

Hot weather, frequent door openings.

Door is left open.

COMPRESSOR OPERATES FOR LONG PERIOD AND FREQUENTLY

If the refrigerator vibrates more than normal, it is likely that it is not resting solidly on the

floor, the front levelling legs need adjusting or floor is weak / uneven.

If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.

VIBRATION OR RATTLING

Odour producing food should be covered or wrapped.

Check for spoiled food.

Interior needs cleaning.

REFRIGERATOR HAS ODOUR

WHAT TO DO

Select a safe place to

install your refrigerator.

Level the refrigerator by

using the adjustable foot.

Install the parts in their

respective places.

Check if the doors are

completely shut.

Check the voltage and

wait for an hour before

plugging the power cord

into an outlet.

After running the

refrigerator for 2-3

hours, put food in the

refrigerator.

INSTALLATION STEPS

The temperature and humidity of the room.

The frequency of door openings 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 have to adjust the control to suit the season and

your needs as follows:-

Set temperature control at FRZ. MAX for higher cooling & REF. MAX for lower

cooling in freezer compartment.

Set temperature control at MAX for colder temperature and at MIN for warmer

temperature in the refrigerator section.

Allow approximately 12 hours or overnight for temperature to stabilize.

Then check to see if further adjustments are necessary.

Many factors influence the internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer section.

FOR BEST SETTING DURING COLD AND HOT WEATHER, WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING:

Set the ‘Freezer temperature control’ at FRZ. MAX. Since the refrigerator operates

less, the freezer compartment will require additional cooling during cold weather.

If loaded with large quantities of food, the refrigerator compartment will require

additional cooling during hot weather. Hence set the ‘Refrigerator temperature

control’ at MAX.

Do not set the ‘Refrigerator temperature control’ beyond the MAX and MIN.

The ‘Test Run’ is to be used only for a service check.

CAUTION

To turn off refrigerator

Disconnect the power supply cord. Remove ice tray and food. Leave doors open for

air circulation and dehumidification of both sections.

TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE

Install refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow

sufficient clearance between the refrigerator and side wall so that the door will open

for a fully usable interior. Refrigerator is not designed for recessed installation.

Select a place with hard and level floor.

Allow 6 inches (15cms) of space between the refrigerator’s side and the wall.

NOTE: Make sure all packaging material is removed. If the shipping tape has left a

residue on the door, touch the residue lightly with the side of tape or with

isopropyl alcohol (most rubbing alcohol is this type).

Levelling

Level refrigerator so that it rests firmly on the floor without rocking. There are two

levelling feet, one at each front corner. Turn to the left to raise a corner, to the right to

lower it. Use shims under the rear corner, if necessary.

If you want the refrigerator door to close when not held open, adjust glides so

that the front of the refrigerator is raised. However, front corners must be levelled

with each other.

If you want the refrigerator door to remain motionless when open, adjust the

levelling glides so that all four corners are leveled with each other.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Your refrigerator has two controls to set inside temperatures at desired levels:

‘Freezer temperature control’ and ‘Refrigerator temperature control’. A conveniently

placed ‘Refrigerator temperature control’ enables you to set positions of MIN.,

Normal, MAX & TEST RUN. After the setting, the refrigerator will become colder.

‘Freezer temperature control’ provided in the freezer temperature controls the

quantity of cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. REF.MAX,

NORMAL & FRZ.MAX are the settings available to you. When set at FRZ.MAX, the

Freezer compartment is at its coldest setting.

When moving, have two people

carry the refrigerator for safety.

Do not move horizontally.

Fasten the doors with tape while

moving to prevent them from opening.

MOVING OR RELOCATING

THE REFRIGERATOR

Your refrigerator has been fitted with an automatic defrost timer, which relieves you from

defrosting manually.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Remove all food and special compartments from the freezer and refrigerator section.

Exterior : Wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Use appliance polish or wax periodically to keep the

exterior looking like new.

Door gasket : Clean at least twice a year with mild soap and water,

rinse and dry. Apply a light film of petroleum jelly to the

gaskets to keep them soft and pliable.

Interior : Wash the liner with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, unplug the power cord before replacing a

burned out light bulb or cleaning.

CAUTION

NOTE : Interior and exterior

1. Do not use abrassive, heavy-duty powders, etc.

These can scratch and dull the surface, depending on their

abrassive strength and cleaning pressure applied. Avoid metal pads

and abrassive impregnated plastic, nylon and cloth pads, etc.

2. Do not use concentrated liquid dishwashing detergent (dissolve in

warm water before using), abrassive cleaners, solvents or polishing

agents on plastic parts. These cleaners may cause cracking or

discolouring.

DEFROSTING THE

REFRIGERATOR

Place the refrigerator on a

hard and level floor.

Place your refrigerator

where there is no heat

source nearby. High

surrounding temperature

will lower cooling

efficiency and increase

your electricity bill.

Place the refrigerator in

an area with low

moisture. Splashing

water or a high moisture

area may cause a short

circuit and invite

rusting.

Avoid places that are

exposed to smoke. The

exterior paint may

decolor.

For good ventilation,

place refrigerator at least

6 inches (15 cms) away

from the wall. This helps

cooling efficiency and

lowers the electricity bill.

Placing the refrigerator

on the carpet may

develop heat and

discolour the appliance.

In such a case, put a

hard wooden board or a

rubber mat between the

refrigerator and the

carpet.

METHODS OF SAFE

INSTALLATION

WARM CABINET SURFACE

At times, the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps to prevent moisture from

condensing on the cabinet. The condition will be more noticeable when you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and

after excessive or lengthy door opening.

Too frequent or too long door opening.

In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened.

MOISTURE COLLECTS INSIDE

Not unusual during periods of high humidity. To help prevent rust, wipe surface & keep dry.

MOISTURE FORMS ON CABINET SURFACE BETWEEN THE DOORS

Food not wrapped properly.

Hot, humid weather.

EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN CRISPER

Food not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.

FOOD DRIES OUT

Door may have been left open.

Too frequent or too long door opening.

FROST OR ICE CRYSTAL ON FROZEN FOOD

Turn temperature control to colder settings.

Door may have been left open.

SLOW ICE CUBE FREEZING

Ice storage box needs to be emptied, washed and old cubes need to be discarded.

Unsealed packages in the refrigerator and/or frozen food storage

compartments may be transmitting odour taste to ice cubes.

Interior of the refrigerator needs cleaning.

ICE CUBES HAVE ODOUR/TASTE

Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to temperature control section.

Hot food stored without cooling.

Blocked air duct in freezer compartment.

Warm weather, frequent door opening.

Door left open for too long.
