BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazard
that can hurt you or others or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded
by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), 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.
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 is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used.
The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can ignite and cause
a fire if you do not take care.

INSTALLATION
SELECTA GOOD LOCATION NEXT
1. Place your refrigerator where it is easy to use. 1. Wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping
and clean your refrigerator thoroughly.
2. Install accessories such as the ice cube box,
evaporating tray cover, etc., in their proper
places. They are packed together to prevent
possible damage during shipping.
3. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the
outlet. Don't double up with other appliances
on the same outlet.
3. Air must circulate properly around your
refrigerator to ensure efficient operation.
If your refrigerator is placed in a recessed area
in the wall, allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) or
greater clearance above the refrigerator and 2
inches (5 cm) or more from the wall.
The refrigerator should be elevated 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from the floor, especially if the floor is
carpeted.
2.Avoid placing the unit near or next to heat
sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
Do not install the refrigerator in an open or
sheltered outdoor environment.
4.
To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to
compensate for unevenness of the floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
The front leveling screws can be turned easily
by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws clockwise( ) to
raise the unit, counterclockwise( ) to
lower it.
5.Don't install this appliance below 5°C.It may
cause the debasement of the refrigerator.
4. Prior to storing food, leave your refrigerator
on for 2 or 3 hours.

NOTE
SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
- Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
- Too much food are not advised to be put in.
- Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature
sensor.
- Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
tore fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining its 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 higher electric bills!
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture
from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause
temperatures to rise.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
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.
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.
13
●Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of theappliance.
If the refrigerating appliance isleft empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave
the door open toprevent mould developing within the appliance.
Store raw meat and fish insuitable containers in therefrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
●
●
ICE MAKING COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the ice making compartment - they may break when frozen.

CLEANING
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. pilled food should be wipe up
immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic 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 surfaces. Do not touch
frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or
dish washable solution to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild Detergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with
a oft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, bleach, or other
products containing chlorine on stainless steel.
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior
parts is recommended. Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap or dish washable solution to clean the durable finish
of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then
dry.
INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door
racks, storage trays and magnetic door seals etc. Use a
lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to
clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a
clean damp cloth and then dry.

WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical 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 electric
shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning
liquids.
• Do not use : Surface
active agents, Car wax, Anticorrosive, or any kind
of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.
• Only use dish washable
solution, and soapy water when cleaning.
• Using harsh cleaning chemicals will cause the
external finishes to change colour.

GENERAL INFORMATION
LAMP REPLACEMENT
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in for
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
failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on
top of your frozen packages.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm,
especially just after
installation.
Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the anti-
condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to
prevent "sweating" on the
outer cabinet wall.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them
all the way into the base.
