6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
CAUTION
Installation
The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that
y
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
Be careful when you unpack and install the refrigerator. Immediately dispose of packing
y
materials (plastic) out of reach of children.
Use
Close the doors carefully when children are around.
y
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are
y
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
If food is stacked or stored poorly on the shelves, it may fall and cause injury when the
y
door is opened.
Do not move refrigerator while the refrigerator is operating. A Compressor rattling noise
y
may occur as a result and will only stop when the compressor cycles off, or when the
power to the unit is turned off and back on again. (This is normal and will not impact on
the performance or the life of the compressor. The rattling will stop after the compressor
comes to a rest.)
Maintenance
Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
y
Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas
y
before connecting.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product,
basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

y
your refrigerator is in operation.
Do not put glass containers, glass bottles or beverage cans in the freezer.
y
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this
y
appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
y
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

days. When disposing the refrigerator, remove the packing materials from the door or take
off the doors but leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
If the refrigerant gas has leaked, do not touch the refrigerator or the power outlet and
y
ventilate the room immediately. A spark could trigger an explosion causing a fire or burns.
Because this refrigerator uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly
refrigerant, even a small amount (50~60g) is combustible. If gas leaks from severe damage
during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any spark may cause fire or burns.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product,
basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural
gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no
parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes
could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or
potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for
several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the
refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be
sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
2
in size
for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your
dealer.
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
y
of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process,
y
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
y
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special
y
disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly
qualified person.

HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator
in airtight and moisture-proof material
unless otherwise noted. This prevents
food odor and taste transfer throughout
the refrigerator. For dated products, check
use by dates to ensure freshness.
Food How to
Butter or
Margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply, wrap
in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best
storage, place milk on interior shelf,
not on door shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or prepare fruit until it
is ready to be used. Sort and keep
fruit in its original container, in a
crisper, or store in a completely
closed paper bag on a refrigerator
shelf.
Leafy
Vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear off bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh fish and shellfish
the same day purchased.
Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap,
aluminum foil, or plastic containers
with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a
large quantity of food. Do not put more
unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours (no more than 1
to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer
space). Leave enough space in the freezer
for air to circulate around packages. Be
careful to leave enough room at the front
so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to
the quality and type of food, the type of
packaging or wrap used (how airtight
and moisture-proof) and the storage
temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed
package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside
the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.
NOTE
Check a freezer food guide or a reliable
cookbook for further information about
preparing food for freezing or food
storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room
temperature for 30 minutes, then
package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.
NOTE
Never freeze beverage cans or bottles
of any kind as they can explode or
shatter.

20 HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal
the package, it must not allow air or
moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator and could
also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-
y
fitting lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing
y
plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions
for proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer
y
wrap
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are
adjustable to meet your individual storage
needs. Your model may have either glass
or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different
heights of items will make finding the
exact item you want easier. Doing so
will also reduce the amount of time the
refrigerator door is open which will save
energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it
straight up. Pull the shelf out.
Refitting the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired
height. Then, lower the front of the shelf
so that the hooks drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level
from one side to the other. Failure to
do so may result in the shelf falling
or spilling food.
