■Our company is not liable for any accident or damage caused by the method not
described in the installation manual or without using the specified components.
Any product failure caused by such installation is out of the product warranty.
Because this product is for food storage,
use caution for place of installation.
■
Product use or storage in a hot-spring area or near
a sea coast may result in a failure.
(Due to high concentration of sulfuric acid or salt.)
■Product use in a location of possible freezing
may cause a failure.
■
For the purpose of fully utilizing the product
function, use it in the ambient temperature range
of 5 ℃to 35 ℃.
Cooling performance may deteriorate outside this
range.
■Place the product away from direct sunlight or heat-generating equipment as
much as possible. A close distance degrades cooling performance.
■Do not use the product outdoors. Use of the product with in a place affected
by rainwater may cause current leak or electrical shock.
Also, avoid a continuously humid location near a water faucet or kitchen sink.
■
Water condensation on the product exterior or door may be caused in a high humidity
atmosphere or with a certain internal temperature setting.
In such a case, install the product where wet floor does not cause a problem.
■For the purpose of good draining of thawed water, install the
product horizontally or slightly tilted toward the back.
■For the purpose of fully utilizing product functions, secure an
empty space of 300 mm or greater above the product
and 50 mm or greater back of the product.
Please secure an appropriate space around the side of the product.
■Correctly install the drain hose.
●When a drain channel is not located nearby, a separate pipe should be
connected for enabling drain connection.
●Do not directly connect the drain pipe to the sewer pipe. To avoid back flow
of drain water, do not dip the tip of the drain hose into the sewage water.
●Always install a trap on the freezer drain hose. Without a trap, cooling
failure may be caused.

Grounding terminal-equipped
Power outlet
(Rated 13 A, 250 V)
■
■
●Keep door opening frequency as small as possible, and door opening time
as short as possible. Close every door securely.
For saving energy
●Use appropriate temperature for the stored items.
●Remove dust on the condenser filter as often as possible.
Poor circulation of cold air may cause quality deterioration of stored items.
Do not block the suction and blow-out ports.
For the purpose of ensuring good circulation of cold air, food items need to
be placed with appropriate spacing between them.
■Use a dedicated power outlet.
Do not connect the power cord in the middle, or avoid
using an extension cord or branching connection.
It may cause electrical shock, heat generation or fire.
■Remove packaging materials and tape and open the door
for a while for ventilation.
■Take out accessories from the compartment and check
them.(Please see Page 9)
■Correctly attach shelf brackets and wire shelves.
(Please see Page 13)
■Although the interior was cleaned during packaging, clean it again.
■Perform a test operation.
Operate for approximately 1 hour after connecting to the power, and use it after
confirming cool interior of the compartment.
■Ice-making in the freezer increases compartment temperature and frozen
food may thaw. Do not make ice.

Use neutral detergent if severely
contaminated.
1. Open the grill and secure the opened
position.(Please see Page 11)
2. Detach condenser filter.
Slide the filter upward (1) and then pull
it out (2).

How to Inspect and Care
Please confirm
Power plug
Clean regularly.
Drain path
Request cleaning periodically in one or two-year interval.
Prohibited
CAUTION
Do not clean the path
by the user.
Cleaning may require
disassembly of the
product.
It may lead to injury.
■After completing cleaning, perform the following inspections.
For any question, please contact the product distributor.
Disconnect the power plug and remove dust from the terminals.
Also clean the dust around the power plug.
After cleaning, wait for 5 minutes before inserting the power plug to the outlet.
< Do not clean dust with a wet hand.>
＊Depending on the place of installation or environment, dust accumulation is
much faster than expected. Check periodically.
＊Exclude Page 16 "Drain Outlet"
■Accumulation in the drain path disturbs
normal flow of defrosted water or condensed
water.
Accumulated water from defrosting and
condensing penetrates the product body to
cause "performance deterioration of heat
insulation material" and leads to "poor cooling"
or current leak in the electrical components.
Cleaning interval varies by product
construction and installed environment.
Use as only a guideline. Contact your
distributor for cleaning of the drain path.
●Isn't any crack, scratch or trace of rat bite exist on the power cord?
●Isn't any abnormal heating in the power plug?
