• Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase the energy consumption of the unit. any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
• This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43°C (90°F). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C (5°F), frozen food in the freezer will not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System, the product should NOT be exposed to low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operating temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When the ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change the button setting according to your need.
• If the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the food in the refrigerator compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.
• In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door is opened, or any key is pressed.
