HOW TO OPERATE

Starting your new Refrigerator

1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, and the inside with a damp cloth.
2. Keep the door open and insert the power supply cord into the socket.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to “Max”. Close the door and let the refrigerator operate for 15-20 minutes.

Temperature control

• You can control the inside temperature by turning the thermostat dial.
• “Max” means greater cooling power.
• “Min” means less cooling power.
• The dial does not have to be set exactly on the letters but can be any place in between.

NOTE:
Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the machine. The unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly.

How to defrost

• Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm(1/5 inch) thick.
• Set the thermostat dial to “OFF”. Remove foods. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave door open.
• Never use a knife or other metal instrument to remove ice/frost from the evaporator.
• After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position to start refrigerating again.

HOW TO CLEAN

• Cleaners: The cleaners noted below are available.

  • Is the power supply cord unplugged?
  • Is the home fuse blown or is the circuit breaker off?
• If the refrigerator is warmer than usual:
  • Has the door been open frequently or for a long period?
  • Is the refrigerator overcrowded-preventing good air circulation?
  • Is the hot thing stored without cooling?
  • Is the clearance between the refrigerator’s side and the wall allowed sufficiently?
• If there are unusual sounds:
  • Is the refrigerator placed on the level?
  • Are foreign objects behind the refrigerator?
  • Are dishes on refrigerator shelves vibrating?

SAFETY WARNING

SAFETY WARNING (R-600a Models Only)

This appliance contains a certain amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a) a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also combustible. when transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

• To avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
