ADDITIONAL TIPS
FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure,
call the local office of your
Electricity Company and ask
how long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are
corrected within an hour or two
will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures.
However, you should minimize
the number of door openings
while the power is off.
- But should the power failure
last more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• If keys are provided with the
refrigerator, the keys should
be kept out of the reach of
children and not be in the
vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not
operate consistently (possibility
of defrosting of contents
or temperature becoming
too warm in the frozen food
compartment) when sited for
an extended period of time
below the cold end of the
range of temperature for which
the refrigerating appliance is
designed.
• Do not store food which goes
bad easily at low temperature,
such as bananas, melons.
• Your appliance is frost free,
which means there is no
need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will be
carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during
defrosting can comply with
ISO requirements.
But if you want to prevent an
undue rise in the temperature
of the frozen food while
defrosting the appliance,
please wrap the frozen food up
in several layers of newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature of
frozen food during defrosting
can shorten its storage life.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods
that have thawed completely.
• The temperature of two
star section (sections) or
compartment (compartments)
which have two star symbol
( ) is slightly higher than
other freezer compartment
(compartments).
The two star section
(sections) or compartment
(compartments) is (are) based
on the instruction and/or the
condition as delivered.

Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a
cool, dry room with adequate
ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed
to direct sunlight and never put
it near a direct source of heat
(radiator, for example).
- Never block any vents or grilles
on the appliance.
- Allow warm food to cool
down before placing it in the
appliance.
- Put frozen food in the
refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low
temperatures of the frozen
products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the
appliance open for too long
when putting food in or taking
food out.
The shorter time for which the
door is open, the less ice will
form in the freezer.
- Allow clearance to the right,
left, back and top when
installing.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your
energy bills lower.
- We recommend the value of
clearance to be :
- Right, left, and back side:
more than 50mm
- Top side: more than 100mm
- For the most efficient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner fittings such as
baskets, drawers, shelves
on the position supplied by
manufacturer.
This appliance is intended
to be used in household and
similar applications such as
- staff kitchen areas in shops,
offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses and by clients
in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type
environments;
- catering and similar non-retail
applications.
