ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure,
call the local ofce 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 efcient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner ttings 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,
ofces 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.

• Remove paper on spacer and then
attach a spacer (Gray block) on the
back side of refrigerator for better
performance. Make sure a spacer
x like above image when you install
the refrigerator. It is improving the
refrigerator performance.
(Only for A+++ energy grade models)
• Allow sufcient space to the right, left,
back and top for air circulation.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your energy bills
lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 10 °C.
• Please ensure that appliance can be moved
freely in the event of maintenance & service.
When installing, servicing, or cleaning
behind the refrigerator, be sure to pull
the unit straight out and push back in
straight after nishing.
Also, make sure your oor supports
the full-load refrigerator.
Otherwise, it may cause oor
damage.

the power cord at the back of the
refrigerator so as not to be touched
on the oor preventing the power
cord from being crushed by the
rollers upon relocation.
CAUTION
CAUTION
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that has
the same height as the rest of the ooring.
This surface should be strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator (or approximately 65
kg).To protect the oor nish, cut a large section
of the cardboard carton and place it under the
refrigerator where you are working.
• Pulling or pushing the refrigerator may
damage the oor.
Moving the refrigerator after installation
may damage the oor.

dry, then x the temperature label as shown in
the gure.

The interior temperature of the refrigerator depends on many factors such as the ambient temperature of
the room, the amount of stored food and the number of door openings. These factors must be taken into
account when setting up the appliance.
A B
A. Correct setting
B. Temperature too high, set the thermostat
In order to maintain the correct temperature inside
the appliance, make sure that the temperature
label is always blue. If the temperature label turns
white, the temperature is too high. In this case,
turn down the thermostat setting and wait 12
hours before checking the temperature label
again. When fresh food is stored, or when the
door is left open for any length of time, it is normal
for the label to turn white.
