How to fill the water dispenser
WARNING
■Fill with potable water only.
1 To open or close slide the lid
of the water tank as shown.
Ensure that the lid is shut
after filling to prevent spillage.
Do not overfill.
NOTE
• Do not open or close the door with force. Water may spill
from the water tank.
• Only fill with water. If other liquid such as juice is poured in, it
might cause a failure.
(Do not fill with hot water. Maximum temperature is
approximately 50°C)
How to dispense water
1 Push the lever with a glass to
dispense water.
Move the glass slowly away from
the lever. (The lever returns to the
original position, and water stops.)
NOTE
• For hygienic reasons, replace the water in the water tank
approximately once a week.
• Frequently empty spillage from
tray.
• If the water dispenser is not
used for an extended period of
time, clean and dry the water
tank thoroughly, and attach it to
the original position.
Child lock
The water dispenser can be locked.
Use this feature to prevent children or someone from
tampering with the dispenser.
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure
that the food is the freshest possible quality. The following is a
general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
• To minimise spoilage, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do
not seal) and place in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and
increases the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
system with food or containers; otherwise the food will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Keep the door securely closed.
For best freezing
• Quality of food should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a
time to freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or
covered and the air should be
removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an
inventory of freezing food.

WARNING
■Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric
shock.
■Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet
or the interior. This may lead to rusting and
deterioration of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips:
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.
• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
• Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately, as acid
or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
1 Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing
water; rinse in clean water and dry.
(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)
2 Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.
3 Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4 Clean the magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
NOTE
• Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders, creams
or spray-on cleaning products, or any other cleaning
products such as mineral turpentine, methylated spirits,
thinners, petrol etc. These may damage your refrigerator
and may void any warranty.
• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
How to remove the water tank
(Cleaning once a month is recommended.)
1 Push the lever and let out all water in the water tank.
2 Remove the pipe cover.
Disconnect the both ends of the joint pipe.
3 Remove the water tank from the door.
4 Remove the cover and take out the mesh filter.
NOTE
Ensure that all parts are reassembled. Incorrect assembly
may cause water leakage.
Switching off your refrigerator
If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended
period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the
symptom of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for
air circulation.

Problem Solution
The outside of the cabinet is hot when
touched.
This is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent condensation
generation.
When there is refrigerator noise. It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds:
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts
--- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor
--- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost
operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)
--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from
time to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound
--- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal
parts during cooling.
Frosting or condensation generation
occurs inside or outside the
refrigerator.
This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost
and a dry cloth for wiping condensation.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When food containing plenty of moisture is stored. (Wrapping is required.)
The foods in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with temp. control set at MAX?
• Low ambient temperature may cause food to freeze even if refrigerator
temp. control is set to MIN.
Noticeable odours. • Wrapping is required for food with strong odours.
• Deodorising unit cannot remove all of the odours.
