STARTING
When
your refrigerator
is first
installed,
allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal
operating temperatures
prior
to
filling
it with fresh or frozen foods.
If
operation
is
interrupted,
allow 5 minutes
delay
before
restarting.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
REFRIGERATOR
?
Your
refrigerator
has two controls that let
you regulate
the
temperature
in the freez-
er and
refrigerator compartments.
?
Initially
set the TEMP. CONTROL at "5" and the COLD AIR CONTROL at "5".
Leave it
operating
for 24
hours(one
day)
to stabilize.
Then
adjust
the
compartment temperature according
to
your
desire.
?TEMP.CONTROL-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
The
higher
the number
setting,
the colder the
refrigerator compartment
will
become.
?COLDAIRCONTROL-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Setting
at
"9",
the freezer
compartment
becomes colder.
But the
refrigerator compartment
becomes warmer because less cold air flows
into the
refrigerator compartment.
?
In cold
weather
the unit
operates
less and the freezer
compartment
has a
tendency
to warm
up.
For colder
freezer,
turn the COLD AIR CONTROL to "7"~"9".
?
If
you
take
a
lot
of foods in
the
freezer or
open
its
door
frequently,
its
temperature
is
apt
to be somewhat
high-
er. In this
case,
set the COLD AIR CONTROL dial between 7 and 9 to cool it. Return the COLD AIR CONTROL
dial to the
original position
to cut down the
consumption
of
energy.
?
In
hot weather
or
to
put
much foods in
the
refrigerator compartment,
the
refrigerator compartment
has a ten-
dency
to warm
up.
For colder
refrigerator,
turn the COLD AIR CONTROL to "2"~"4" to direct more cold air into the
refrigerator compart-
ment,
and the TEMP. CONTROL to "7"~"9".
Setting
at "7"~"9" of the COLD AIR
CONTROL,
the
refrigerator compartment
will not be cold
enough.

CHILLED COMPARIMENT
When the door is
opened,
the warmer air doesn't influence
in the fresh meat. So
you
can
keep
food fresher in it.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting
takes
place automatically.
The defrosted water flows down to the
evaporating tray
which is located in the lower back side of the
refrigerator
and is
evaporated automatically.
DEODORIZER(OPTIONAL)
By using
a
catalyst, deodorizing performance
is
guaranteed.
Unpleasant
odor of food in fresh food
compartment
is deodorized with no harm to
you
and the food.
How to use
As the
catalyst
is located in
cooling
air outlet for
circulating
air in fresh food
compartment,
there is no
need for
any handling.
Do not
prick
the
cooling
air outlet with a
sharp tip
because the
deodorizing catalyst may
be
damaged.
When
storing
food with a
strong
odor,
wrap
it or store it in a container with a lid because odor
may
be
passed
on to other foods.
To remove the
deodorizer,
take down while
pulling
it forward
after
inserting
§^
type
driver into the inside hole as shown
in the
figure
at
right.

the aroma and the smell of the food for a
long
time.
More effective food
storage.
It is useful to store the food without
seasoning
such as salt or
sugar,
and the food needed to
keep
as low
temperature
with
the raw food uncooked
heating
or no
disinfecting.

Operating
When the
refrigerator begins
to
operate,
F.I.R
Lamp
turns on.
During
the
refrigerator's operating,
the on and
off of the F. I. R
Lamp
is
automatically
controlled
by
the
refrigerator
inner
temperature.
Therefore it is not
necessary
to handle F.I.R
Lamp.
F.I.R

special
materials for the vest
results of F.I.R
Lamp's
effect decreases.
If F.I.R
Lamp
is veiled or
covered,
the F.I.R
Lamp's
effect
decreases.
If
you
store the foods
wrapped
in the
vinyl
or
wrapper,
not in the vessel with
lid,
the foods will
get
more
effective F.I.R results.
If
you
want to check the F.I.R
Lamp operation,
don't touch F.I.R
Lamp
because
you may
burn
your fingers
with the
high temperature
of its surface.
During

OPERATIONS
NOTE

STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the
refrigerator compartment.
How food is frozen and defrosted is an
important
factor
in
maintaining
freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which
goes
bad
easily
at low
temperatures,
such as
bananas,
pineapples,
and melons.
Allow hot food to cool
prior
to
storing. Placing
hot food in the
refrigerator
could
spoil
other
food,
and lead
to
high
electric bills!
When
storing, wrap
food in
vinyl,
or
place
in a covered container. This
prevents
moisture from
evaporat-
ing,
and
helps
food to
keep
its taste and nutritional valve.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air
keeps refrigerator temperatures
even.
Do not
open
the door
frequently. Opening
the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator, causing tempera-
tures to rise.
To
adjust
the
temperature
control
easily,
do not store food near the
temperature
control dial.
FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment
-
they may
break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional valve.
When
storing
frozen food like ice cream for a
long period, place
it on the freezer
shelf,
not in the door
rack.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid
placing
moist food on
deep
interior
refrigerator
shelves,
it could freeze
upon
direct contact with
chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
It
is desirable
to store moist
food
(especially vegetable
and
fruit)
in
the
vegetable storage compartment.
If
it
is
necessary
to store
on a shelf of
the
refrigerator, put
it
close
to the
door
away
from
the
back wall of
the
refrigerator
to
avoid
being
frozen
by
the
cool
circulating
in
the
refrigerator.
Always
clean food
prior
to
refrigeration. Vegetables
and fruits should be washed and
wiped,
and
packed
food should be
wiped
clean,
to
prevent adjacent
food from
spoiling.
When
storing eggs
in their
storage
rack,
ensure that
they
are
fresh,
and
always
store them in a
up-right
position,
which
keeps
them fresh
longer.
If
you keep
the
refrigerator
in a
hot,
and humid
place, frequently open
its door or
put
a lot of
vegeta-
bles in
it,
dew
may
form in
it,
which has no effect on its
performance.
Remove the dew with dust
cloth free from care.
If
droplets
form beneath the cover of the
vegetable
drawer,
keep vegetables
or fruits
wrapped by
plastic wrap.

surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic
scouring pads,
brushes,
coarse
abrasive cleaners or
strong
alkaline solutions on
any
surface.
Before
you
clean, however,
remember that
damp
objects
will stick or adhere to
extremely
cold sur-
faces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp
hands.
EXTERIOR
-
Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap
or
detergent
to clean the durable finish of
your
refrigerator. Wipe
with a
clean,
damp
cloth and
then
dry.
INTERIOR
-
Regular cleaning
of the interior and
interior
parts
is recommended. If
you
have the
Wash all
compartments
with a
baking
soda
solution. Rinse and
dry.
INTERIOR PARTS
-
Wash
compartment
shelves,
door
racks,
storage trays
and
magnetic
door seals
etc. with a
baking
soda solution or a mild
detergent
and warm water. Rinse and
dry.
WARNING
Always
remove
power
cord from the wall
outlet
prior
to
cleaning
in
the
vicinity
of elec-
trical
parts (lamps,
switches, controls,
etc.).
Wipe up
excess moisture with a
sponge
or
cloth to
prevent
water or
liquid
from
getting
into
any
electrical
part
and
causing
a electric
short circuit. Do not use flammable or toxic
cleaning liquids.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION
TIME
During average length
vacations,
you
will
probably
find it best to leave the
refrigerator
in
operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for
longer
life.
When
you plan
to be
away
for an extended
period,
remove all
food,
disconnect the
power
cord,
clean
the interior
thoroughly,
and leave each door OPEN
to
prevent
odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
Most
power
failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect
your refrigerator temperatures.
However,
you
should minimize the number of door
openings
while the
power
is off.
During power
fail-
ures of
longer
duration,
place
a block of
dry
ice on
top
of
your
frozen
packages.
IF
YOU MOVE
Remove or
securely
fasten down all loose items
inside the
refrigerator.
To avoid
damaging
the
leveling
screws,
turn them
all the
way
into the base.
ANTI-CONDENSATION
PIPE
The outside wall of the
refrigerator
cabinet
may
sometimes
get
warm,
especially just
after instal-
lation. Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the anti-
condensation
pipe,
which
pumps
hot
refrigerant
to
prevent "sweating"
on the
outer cabinet wall.

it and other
appli-
ances or household
lights
from
causing
an over-
load that could cause a
power outage.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If the
supply
cord is
damaged,
it must be
replaced
by
a
special
cord or
assembly
from the manufactur-
er or its service
agent.
ABOUT
GROUNDING(EARTHING)
