deformation or discoloration may occur, so

place a board underneath the refrigerator.
Place the refrigerator away from other devices

Prevent noise and jammed image display on

TVs and other devices.
Locations where allow the power plug to be
cleaned easily

NN 50 mm

50 mm

Clean dust regularly.

(To prevent fire caused by dust.)

Before using the refrigerator for the first time. (P. 12)

· Wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a wet, soft cloth.

2. Fix the refrigerator. If the refrigerator has not been stabilized completely, you may hear rapping noises when the door is
opened/closed. (This will not affect the performance.) Install the refrigerator on a stout and flat floor.
Turn the adjustable legs (right and left) until they reach the floor to stabilize the refrigerator.

Adjustable leg
If the door is slanted downwards.
Turn the adjustable leg, as shown in the illustration on the right, in order to adjust the level. · The freezer/refrigerator doors may be slanted within 4 to 5 days
after installation due to the load of the food or adaptation to the floor surface. In this case turn the adjustable legs again to restore. · If it cannot be fixed by this method, use an adjustment plates.

Lower the right adjustable leg.

3. Plug into a wall outlet.
Plug into a wall outlet of the rated voltage on its own with the rated current and insert plug fully.
The power plug can be plugged into an outlet immediately after installation. The surroundings and surfaces (side surfaces) of the refrigerator may become hot
(approximately 50 °C to 60 °C when the ambient temperature is 30 °C) when the power is turned on, but this is not abnormal. (P. 13)
If the power plug is removed, wait at least 7 minutes before plugging it back in. (P. 14)
4. Cool the refrigerator interior. It may take approximately 4 hours to cool the interior. It may take 24 hours or more to cool the interior and achieve equilibrium in the summer, etc. Do not open/close the doors until the interior has been cooled sufficiently.
(Warm air flowing into the interior will block the cooling function.)

5

Installation
Installation (Continued)
Notices Immediately after the installation, the noise becomes larger a little because the interior of the refrigerator is not
cooled yet and the compressor or the fan is operated with high-speed rotation, but it is not abnormal. (Once the interior of the refrigerator is cooled, the noise becomes smaller.)
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.
For saving energy
· Do not stuff food into the compartments. That may interfere with the cold air flow. Provide sufficient space between foods.
· Open the door only when necessary. Minimizing the number of times the door is opened/closed prevents cold air from escaping and reduces the amount of wasted electricity.
· Do not block the cold air outlet with food items. If cold air does not spread into every corner of compartments, then the interior will not be sufficiently cooled and more electricity will be consumed.
· The cold air discharges from the outlet of the duct at the back. · Store warm food and drinks after they are cooled.
Otherwise, they will not only raise the interior temperature, but also affect the freshness of other foods.
Disposing of the packaging
Please recycle where possible (e.g. cardboard, plastic bags, adhesive tape and polystyrene) and make sure you dispose of all other packing materials safely. Keep the packaging out of reach of babies and young children to avoid injury or suffocation.

Do the sides or the back side of refrigerator or the power cord touch the
walls or furniture around the refrigerator? Place the refrigerator so that it does not touch surrounding objects.
The compressor or the fan may make loud noise when the refrigerator is being
cooled, such as when the refrigerator is not still cooled soon after installation, the doors are frequently opened and closed, the temperature around the refrigerator is high or Fast Freezer mode is set ON. This is not abnormal. When the refrigerator has been cooled, the noise becomes small.
When the floor is uneven or the door is closed with a force, the
refrigerator shakes and generates noise. Place a plate under the refrigerator to prevent it from shaking. (P. 5)
It is because that the rotation speed of the compressor is adjusted with
the inverter control. (Noise may not stop but it is not abnormal.)
The left and right side surfaces may become hot to let out heat generated
when the refrigeration system operates. The temperature may become 50 °C to 60 °C (when the ambient temperature is 30 °C) after installation or in the summer.
In the manufacturing process, the warpage or surface waviness may
occur, but this is not abnormal.
Air taken into the interior is suddenly cooled. The inner pressure becomes
lower than the external air momentarily. The doors seem to be pulled towards inside.
