CAUTIONS WHILE USING

For optimum operation, do not leave the door open
for any longer than necessary.
Leaving the door open allows warmer air to enter
the refrigerator and causes the refrigeration unit to
use more energy to maintain the temperature.
-
-
Do not store volatile chemicals such as
ether and benzene in the refrigerator.
The fumes, besides damaging food, can
build up and cause an explosion.
-
-
Do not use the refrigerator if it is not operating
correctly or has been damaged. Disconnect it from
the power supply and call your local service center.
If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by
replacing it through the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person
-
-
Always be careful of not banging your head on the
bracket lock while storing or taking out food.
-
Frequent opening of door can cause excessive
frost in the unit that will reduce the cooling
momentarily, this is a general phenomenon
especially in coastal or high humidity area. It is
not a malfunction. Opening of door should be avoided
while defrosting.
Avoid keeping freezer door open for long time to prevent
frost accumulation.
