Preparations before Use

Installation

1. Install on a rigid and level floor.

2. Please use this refrigerator between the room temperature of 10°C to 43°C.
   Sufficient performance may not be obtained, if the room temperature is too low or too high.

3. Do not install where the refrigerator is exposed on a direct sunlight or other heat sources.

4. Install in a atmosphere which is dry or has air ventilation.

5. The refrigerator requires enough air ventilation space around the cabinet to have efficient cooling performance space of at least 30 cm over the top and 10 cm at rear and 5 cm at both sides for proper air circulation.

6. Ground the refrigerator to prevent electric shock and noise interference. Always ground this refrigerator when using it in places with high humidity or moisture. (Please consult with retailers.)

7. Adjusting the adjustable legs to keep the left/right refrigerator door level.
   ■ Without adjusting the legs, door height may not be level, or there may be abnormal vibration or noises depending on floor conditions. Follow the instructions below.
   1. Turn the adjustable legs to lower the adjustable legs until they touch the floor firmly.
   2. Compare the height of left and right doors and lower adjustable leg whose door height is lower than the other until the both door height become level.
   • Turn the adjustable leg for 1 turn makes approx. 1mm door height change.
   • It will take several days until the legs fits the floor and the door height becomes stable.

Beginning

1. Cleaning inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surface gently with soft cloth.
2. Connect the refrigerator to an exclusive wall power outlet. The refrigerator can be connected to an outlet soon after it is installed. Surely use with the rated voltage and exclusive power outlet.
3. Allow enough duration for sufficient cooling before storing food. It may take about 4 hours to fully cool down and could even take about 24 hours when the ambient temperature is high.

Food storage

1. Keep enough space between food. Several food placed to close together may obstruct the flow of cold air.
2. Make food cool enough before putting it in the refrigerator. Putting warm food in the refrigerator raises the inside temperature and wastes electricity.
3. Do not block the cold air vent. This will adversely affect the cold air flow and may not keep the temperature inside even. Moreover, it could result in food near the vent freezing.
4. Using food wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying on transition of smells.
