METHODS OF SAFE INSTALLATION
1. SAFE INSTALLATION PLACE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
4
•Place the refrigerator on
hard and level floor.
NO
NO
•Place your refrigerator
where there is no heat
source nearby.
High surrounding
temperature will lower
cooling efficiency and
increases 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
make rusting easier.
•Avoid places that are
exposed to smoke.
The discoloring can
occur to the refrigerator.
At least 15cm
At least 15cm
At least 30cm
Carpet
Wooden Board,
Rubber Mat
•For good ventilation
place refrigerator with
the spaced specified on
the figure.
This helps cooling
efficiency and lowers the
electricity bill.
•Placing the refrigerator
on the carpet may cause
heat to develop and
discolor the appliance. In
such a case put a hard
wooden board or a
rubber mat between the
refrigerator and the
carpet.
HOW TO OPERATE
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The Temperature Control inside the refrigerator controls the degree of
cooling for each compartment.
Freezer Temperature Control
The control has four settings form

Many factors may influence the internal temperature of the refrigerator
and freezer compartments.
■The temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment.
■The opening frequency of the doors 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 want to adjust the control to suit the season and your needs.
1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a dry cloth, and the inside
with a damp cloth.
2. Set the temperature control knob at normal position.
3. Connect the power supply cord.

■Turn the temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartment
toward WINTER for colder temperature and toward MIN for warmer
temperature.
■Allow approximately 12 hours or overnight for the temperature to stabilize,
Then check to see if further adjustments are necessary.
To turn off the refrigerator
Disconnect the power supply cord. Remove ice tray and food. Leave
doors ajar for air circulation and dehumidification of both sections.
DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR
It is defrosted automatically in the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid The Risk of Electrical Shock or Death unplug the power
cord before replacing a burned out light bulb or cleaning.
Cleaning
Remove all food from the freezer and refrigerator sections.
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.
Interior : Wash the liner with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Interior and Exterior
1. DO NOT USE abrasive, heavy-duty Powders, etc.
These can scratch and dull the surface, depending on their abrasiveness
and the cleaning pressure applied.
Avoid metal pads and abrasive impregnated plastic, nylon and cloth pads,
etc.
2. DO NOT USE concentrated liquid dishwashing detergent (dissiove in
warm water before using.), abrasive cleaners, solvents or polishing agents
on plastic parts. These cleaners may cause cracking or discoloring.

HOW TO INSTALL
10
WHAT TO DO...
9
When out of operating for a long time
■Remove the power supply cord.
■Dry your refrigerator, opening the door for 2-3 days.
When you get ready to move
■Securely fasten removable interior parts (or move and package them
separately).
■Do not lay your refrigerator horizontally, or compressor may be damaged.
If refrigerator is not operating:
■Is the power supply cord unplugged?
■Is home fuse blown or circuit breaker off?
If refrigerator is warmer than usual:
■Has the door been open frequently or for a long period?
■If refrigerator overcrowded preventing good air circulation?
■Is the hot thing stored without cooling?
■Is the clearance between side and rear plate of the refrigerator and the wall
allowed sufficiently?
If these are unusual sounds:
■Is refrigerator placed on the level?
■Are foreign objects behind the refrigerator?
■Are dishes on refrigerator shelves vibrating?
If so, rearrange the dishes.
Before you calling for service check a few things as below for yourself first.
Location
Install refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme heat and
cold. Allow sufficient clearance about 15 cm between the refrigerator
and rear wall so it is easy for refrigerator to radiate heat.
Leveling
Level refrigerator so it rests solidly on the floor without rocking.
Make sure all packing material is removed. If the shipping tape has left a
residue on the door, clean it with isopropyl alcohol (most rubbing alcohol is
this type).
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent or a simmilary qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
■The electrical plug must be accessible without moving the set.
■Changing the internal light bulb.
Disconnect the refrigerator from the main supply by removing the plug.
Replace the bulb with one of the correct type and size (15Watt SES
E14 Base).
