PARTS IDENTIFICATION
SPECIAL FEATURE
1) NON-FLON
This unit uses totally NON-FLON MATERIALS both for refrigerant (Iso-butane (R600a) and for insulation
(Cyclo-Pentane). So, this refrigerator does not damage the earth’s ozone layer and has almost no effect
on global warming.
2) INVERTER
In accordance with temperature change inside the compartment, the motor runs at different speed.
When the temperature is stable, the motor runs at a lower speed (energy saving & lower noise).
When powerful cooling is required, the motor runs at a higher speed.

as it will leave stain on the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator at least once a month.
Point where petroleum
gel was applied
How to clean the door opening seal
• At the area of inner door opening seal,
petroleum gel was applied to reduce the
friction to the refrigerator body. You can

to be replaceable when it reaches its end
of life.
• While cleaning, if the seal is off from its
groove, push it back into the groove.

1. Do not open the refrigerator frequently or leave it open for a long time. This is to prevent water
dripping inside the refrigerator and will cause the waste of coolness and consumption of energy.
2. Do not refrigerate unnecessary items or hard-to-rot foodstuff such as pumpkin, shallot, garlic,
potato as it will make the refrigerator to work overload and waste the storage space without
necessity.
3. Adjust the temperature according to the actual operating condition for energy saving.
4. Do not refrigerate bottles bigger than the door shelf or the tray as the door will not close
completely causing coolness to leak.
5. Frequently check the door opening seal, it must be closed to the refrigerator’s body completely.
Do not leave the seal dirty or damaged or deteriorated as the coolness will leak and will cause
unnecessary consumption of energy.
6. If you will not be at home for several days or there are nothing refrigerated in the refrigerator, the
plug should be disconnected for energy saving, In this case, clean the refrigerator and leave it
half-open to prevent bad odour.
7. Clean the drain tray located over the compressor at the back of the refrigerator every three
months to prevent the odour generated from humidity.
8. Energy saving dryer pipes and heating pipes embedded around the refrigerator cabinet are
helping to prevent “condensation” on the outer surface of the cabinet without consuming energy.
This will make the outer wall of the refrigerator get warm and that is not a malfunction.
9. Drinking water bottles, beverage bottles such as soft drinks and fruit juices should be sealed
closely to prevent odour to get into the bottles.
