WARNING
LGR-H41TA, GR-H46TA
•Get a 230-240V power supply by putting the plug in a wall socket properly wired.
•Use a special outlet for the refrigerator.
Plugging several appliances into one outlet will cause the outlet to heat and may result in a fire.
•Highly inflammable spray lacquer or paint must not be stored in the refrigerator or placed or used nearby.
These could be ignited by sparks produced as the switch of the refrigerator is turned on or off.
•Alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc. should not be stored in the refrigerator as they could explode.
•Do not place vessels filled with water, etc. on the refrigerator.
The liquid spilt will lower electric insulation performance and may cause fire or electrical shock. Or, if dropped,
it may cause injury.
•Do not spilt water directly on the refrigerator.
Water on the electrical lines and parts could result in a short or other malfunction.
•Do not hang down from the door.
If so, the refrigerator may fall down and this may cause injury, or the fingers may be caught in the door.
•If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by
manufacturer, in order to avoid a hazard.
•Do not place weight on the supply cord.
Make sure that the cord is free of the casters of the refrigerator, and that no furniture or other objects are placed on
the cord. Heavy weight placed on the cord may damage it and lead to scorching or short circuit.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
•Do not touch food or metal containers inside the freezer with wet hands.

•When the refrigerator is carried, it must be held at the positions shown in the diagram on page 5.
(Do not hold the door or the handle.)
INSTALLATION
When you open the door of the refrigerator, there may be some smell of plastics. This signifies nothing
unusual.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Select a dry place.
Avoid any humid or wet place, for example, the neighborhood of a kitchen sink. Such a place could cause corrosion
or electric leakage in the refrigerator. If installed directly on the ground, your refrigerator will be liable to damage.
Place a board under the machine in such a case.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Installation.
Install your Toshiba Refrigerator on a strong and level floor. Turn the leveling screws and stabilize the refrigerator
horizontally.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Leave space around the refrigerator.
Select a well-ventilated place. Provide at least 10 cm (4 inches) at top and
4 cm (1.6 inches) on both sides for proper air circulation.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Use in a cool place.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, a gas or heated sources.
If the refrigerator is installed in direct sunlight or near a heat emitted object,
this will deteriorate the cooling system and it may malfunction.

refrigerator, the door closed, and after the temperature had stabilized.
How to Make Ice
1Fill the ice tray with water up to
the water level line.
If the water exceeds the water
level line, if freezes over and
becomes hard to remove.

CAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
The refrigerator should not be used to store chemical materials or medical products.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
After removing the plug from the outlet, wait at least 7 minutes before reinserting it.
•If the plug is reinserted too soon, the compressor may not run properly and may produce a rattling noise.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
When Moving and Transporting
•First remove the food.
•When carrying, hold the positions shown in the diagram.
(Never hold by the door or handle.)
When Transporting while relocating
•Do not lay the refrigerator on its side. Doing so may cause it to malfunction.
INFORMATION
•Heat Generation by the Compressor
The refrigerator compressor will generate heat during normal operation. Note that this is not a malfunction.
•Heat on Refrigerator Walls
The condenser is built the outer shell and radiates heat into the room air. The temperature of the outer shell
may reach high temperature during normal refrigerator operation. This is not a malfunction.
Don’t panic! This refrigerator will ventilate the heat through the wall of both left and right sides.
And the hot tube will distribute to the front edge of the refrigerator to keep out the humidity and
prevent condensing. This will also prolong the use of the refrigerator.
•Refrigerator Operation
When the power is first turned on or when the power comes on again after an extended power outage, the
refrigerator may run continuously for 9 to 14 hours in order to cool the entire cabinet to the normal operating
temperature. When the inside temperature has stabilized, the refrigerator will enter the automatic control mode.
Should the refrigerator run continuously under the above conditions, remember that this is not a malfunction.

When cleaning them, be sure to pull out the refrigerator’s plug from the socket and be careful not to pull the cord or
get it caught under the machine.
Do not pour water directly on the refrigerator.
Outside Surfaces
Polish them with a soft rag. A heavy stain should be wiped off with a rag soaked in a cleanser solution.
The door handle should be wiped with a dry cloth.

Interior Plastic units
If they are stained or have any odor, the interior plastic units should be cleaned with a cleanser solution.
When smeared with salad oil or other cooking oil, the interior plastic unit may crack. Wipe such smears off.
Door Packing
The packing on the doors will be short-lived if stains are not removed.
Occasionally, inspect the packing on the doors, and remove any stain with a cleanser solution.
The refrigerator does not get cold at all.
•Is the refrigerator plugged in properly ?
•Has the fuse for your house’s electricity supply blown, or has the breaker shut off ?
•Has the electricity supply been shut off ?
The refrigerator does not get cold enough.
•Is the temperature control dial set to “1”?
•Is the refrigerator placed in direct sunlight, or near a stove or heater ?
•Is the door closed properly ?
•Is the door being opened and closed too frequently ? Has anything hot been placed in the refrigerator ?
•Is the refrigerator overloaded ?
•Is there sufficient air circulation around the refrigerator ?
Food in the refrigerator compartment freezes.
•Is the temperature control dial set to “5”?
