Operation
8
Your fridge-freezer has two controls that let you regulate
the temperature in the fridge and freezer compartments.
• Initially set the TEMP. CONTROL
at "4". Then adjust the
compartment temperature
according to your desire.
• If you want an inside temperature
slightly less cold or colder, turn the
knob towards COLD or WARM, respectively.
When the surrounding temperature is low, adjust the
TEMP. CONTROL 'WARM'.
• Freezer temperature control is on the top of the fridge-
freezer. Initially set the Freeze Temp at mid-point. By
pressing the Freezer Temp button, you can adjust the
temperature of the Freezer as indicated by the numbers
of lamps lit.(the setting is composed of five steps,
5 lamps lit indicates coldest.)
• When you starting the Fridge-Freezer or connecting the
power plug to the outlet, temperature setting is
automatically set to the mid-point.
• This function is used when
you want to freeze the foods
quickly. Press the 'QUICK
FREEZE' button once, and
then the quick freeze
operation starts with the
lamp lit.
The quick freeze operation
takes about 3 hours.
When its operation ends,
it automatically returns to the normal state.
If you want to stop the quick freeze operation, press
the 'QUICK FREEZE' button once more, the lamp goes
out, and the quick freeze operation stops and the
refrigerator returns to the normal state.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
10
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food
in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to
higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets
warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes
loss of taste and nutrition.
Storing Food
Note
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place,
frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it,
dew may form in it, which has no effect on its
performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

11
Care and Maintenance
• 1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods
stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too
frequently.
• Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the
loose items with tape.
• Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving
the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the
floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
• The Anti-Condensation pipe
is installed around the front
side of fridge-freezer as well
as on the partition between
fridge compartment and
freezer compartment to
prevent dewing.
• Especially after installation or
when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer
may feel hot, which is quite normal.
Lamp Replacement
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove fridge shelves.
3. To remove the lamp cover, insert
type driver in the underside of
the lamp cover and pull it out
forwards.
4. Turn the lamp counterclockwise.
5. Assemble in reverse order of
disassembly.
Replacement lamp must be the
same specification as original.

AVERTISSEMENT
Cet appareil ne doit pas être utilisé par des personnes (y
compris des enfants) souffrant de capacités physiques,
sensorielles ou mentales réduites, ou manquant d’expérience
et de connaissances, sauf sous la surveillance d’une personne
responsable de leur sécurité leur ayant indiqué comment

Introduction
17
Débranchez la fiche d’alimentation avant de nettoyer le
réfrigérateur-congélateur.
N’endommagez pas, ne pliez pas, ne tirez pas, ne tordes pas le câble
d’alimentation car un câble d’alimentation endommagé peut causer
un incendie ou une décharge électrique.
Ne mettez jamais des produits en verre dans le congélateur parce
qu’ils pourraient se casser quand leur contenu est congelé.
Si possible, branchez seulement le réfrigérateur-congélateur à une
prise électrique pour le protéger et pour protéger d’autres appareils
ou des lampes d’une surcharge.
Le réfrigérateur-congélateur doit être positioné pour que la prise
d'alimentation est accessible pour la déconnexion en cas d'accident.
Si la corde d'alimentation est endommagée, elle doit remplacée par
le fabricant ou par l'agent de service ou par quelqu'un qualifié
similaire pour éviter le hasard.
N’emmagasinez pas ou n’utilisez pas de l’essence ou d’autres produits
inflammables en proximité de cet appareil ou d’autres appareils.
Dans le cas d’un court-circuit électrique, la mise à terre réduit le risque de chocs
électriques en fournissant un câble de fuite au courant électrique. Pour prévenir
tout choc électrique, l’appareil doit être mis à terre.
Une utilisation impropre de la fiche de terre peut provoquer un choc électrique.
Consultez un électricien qualifié si vous n’avez bien compris les instructions de
mise à terre ou si vous avez quelques doutes sur le fait que l’appareil a été
correctement mis à terre.
