From installing to running your refrigerator

Installation

Where to install your fridge

• Install in a place where there is no direct sunlight or heat, and with good ventilation.
  This protects against a decrease in cooling power and saves on electricity bills.

• Install in a place with low humidity.
  This prevents rust, electric shock or fires from occurring.

• Install on a solid and level floor.
  This prevents vibrations, noise, and partially open doors or doors left ajar. Prevent changes or discoloring by its mass or heat.
  ※ If the refrigerator adjustment feet sink easily into the flooring material, please lay a strong board on top of the flooring.

• Install away from other appliances. This prevents noise or image disturbances to the television, etc.

• Leave a space of more than 2 cm to the left and right, and more than 10 cm from the ceiling, and more than 5 cm from the back.
  This is to allow heat to escape from the top, the back and sides.
  ※ If refrigerator is too close to the wall, it will cause an increase in sound levels.
  Please care to remove the dust within the gap.

| Do not install in an outdoor area where water can get on it or where there is a lot of moisture.
Due to insulation failure, it may cause an electric shock or fire.
---|---
| Allow some space around the refrigerator.
If the refrigerant (gas) leaks, it can remain in the area and there’s a risk that it may cause a fire or explosion.
---|---

Turning on the power

• Turn on the power of the refrigerator as soon as possible.
  The refrigerator will not be damaged even if you turn on the power immediately after the installation.

Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specified on the rating label.

How to remove the energy label

• Remove the energy label carefully. A glue residue may remain, particularly if the label has been in place for a long period of time.
• Apply either Eucalyptus or Tea Tree oil directly on any residue.
• Do not allow the oil to run or drip onto plastic parts as it may cause the plastic to degrade and potentially crack over time.
• Allow the oil to sit for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the glue residue has softened.
• Wipe off with a damp cloth.
• If any residue remains, repeat the above process.
• Rinse with clear water.
• Dry thoroughly.

Adjustment and affixing

(to prevent half-opened door/noise/move/vibrate)

※Before adjusting, please pull the toe grille to the front and remove it.

• Please fix the tilt by adjusting the legs.
  Please adjust the adjustable leg as the following picture to level the refrigerator.

※After several days from installing, it may sink to the floor by weight.
Please re-adjust the adjustable legs again.

Keep the front at a slightly higher angle. This makes closing the door easier and prevents the door from partially opening.

When the tilt cannot be corrected with the adjustable legs.
If installed in a corner of a room, there are times when one side of the back legs sinks into the floor.
When that happens, please make adjustments in the rear with caster support (separately sold) or a strong board underneath (normally, the thickness of the board should be 2 – 3 mm.)

For the caster support, please contact the shop where you purchased.
Model No.: MRPR-03CS

• After adjusting please insert the toe grille.
  (toe grille included in the refrigerator)

Start using

● It takes time to cool down.

• Put in warm food items or ice cream after the refrigerator has been adequately cooled down.
• Keep opening and closing of the door to a minimum, and open in a short time.
• In the summer, it will take approx. 24 hours to make the first batch of ice.

● It may smell of plastic.

• The smell will gradually disappear.
  Please ensure room is adequately ventilated to remove odors.

● When the refrigerator is in cooling mode the following may occur (also occurs during summer).

• The side will be hot allowing the outside of the refrigerator to cool.
• Operating noise will be loud due to the compressor being in high-speed operation.

| Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (piping) of the refrigerator; do not drive in screws.
Because a flammable refrigerant (gas) is used, there is the danger of igniting or explosion.
---|---

Use in hot spring areas
Corrosion control treatment must be applied for the refrigerant circuit (pipe) due to generation of corrosive gases. Contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.

Using each compartment

Refrigerator / Sliding case

Insert drinks or immediately used foods in refrigerator compartment. Sliding case can store meats, fish, dairy products, processed foods, etc. at a lower temperature than the refrigerator compartment.

Refrigerator

One-two shelf

The layout of shelves can be rearranged.

It makes a large space when set up by overlapping the back of the shelf.

The shelf can be added by setting to the lower level. Install a space to accommodate tall stuffs in front.

To prevent odors?

We recommend you wrap or store the foods in airtight containers.

Foods with strong odor
Kimchi, dumplings, sardine (seafood), beef, etc.

Foods that easy to absorb odor
Rice, potato salad, etc.

Air blowing outlet

Food items with a lot of moisture may freeze if put near air blowing outlet. (Especially canned beer or carbonated drink, there is a risk of rupture when freezing.)

Sliding Cases

Please note

• Do not leave food hanging over shelves or pockets.
• Do not place bottles that cannot fit all the way to the bottom of the bottle pocket.
• Do not attach a case that you purchased separately onto the outside of a pocket.
• Do not heat the glass surfaces of the glass shelves or place hot objects on them.
• Do not close the door while food is in front of the upper case or the lower case.
• Fully stow away the cases. Otherwise they may keep door ajar and reduce the cooling performance, or food may fall and cause damage to a case.
• Do not pile food to the top. Leave a gap so that cold air can flow to the ceiling and between food.

Suggestions

• The temperature of the lower case (when supercool chilling is set) may exceed 0° C.
  Also, when lower case set is supercool chilling, can set as “Colder”. Setting “Colder”: When the light (green) is on, press the button and hold for 5 seconds or more until you hear the sound. ➡ Light (green) are displayed when supercool chilling will be activated after 2 flashing lights. If the food is frozen, please make the same setting again and make it the standard setting (The light does not blink and remains lit).
  The setting will not reset even if you cancel “when supercool chilling is set”.
  

• Because sliding cases cannot guarantee the quality of foods that easily freeze (such as tofu, konjac, raw eggs, vegetables, etc.), storing such foods is not suitable. Depending on the type and amount of food, as well as its condition at the time it is placed in the refrigerator, food may freeze.

• Please set the temperature in refrigerator at “medium” ~ “low” when the food in the refrigerator or the fresh zone is frozen. Cancel the “Colder” setting (when supercool chilling is set).

Vegetable compartment

Store fruit and vegetables.
If you wrap fruit and vegetables, they will stay fresh longer.

Please note

Do not put tall items in the sliding case.

• It can damage food items or damage the sliding case.
• If the sliding case is taken out and used separately, the vegetable compartment will become dry.

Suggestions

• Store vegetables using transparent containers or wrappings to enable exposure to the LED light.
• With exposure to the LED light, photosynthesis process for green vegetables will be enabled, the effect will depend on the initial freshness of the vegetables stored.
• Do not use any sharp objects to scratch or adjust the LED light to prevent damage which may affect its normal operation and effectiveness.
• If the LED light is damaged or not operating, do not adjust or repair, please seek technical assistance from the authorized service center

Freezer compartment

You can storage frozen food, ice cream, bread, meat, fish, etc.

Notice

Non-Freon Refrigerator

• This refrigerator uses non-freon foam insulation material. Non-freon foam insulation material (cyclopentane) does not deplete the ozone layer and their contribution to global warming is extremely low, making them environmentally friendly substances.

To economize power

Quickly open and close the door
Cold air may leak outside, or power consumption may increase if open a long time or open the door frequently
| Do not block the air outlet or suction port
The foods may not easily get cold if blocking the cool air. The temperature near air outlet may decrease, moist foods may easing to freeze.

---|---
Leave some space between the foods.
Cool air may not flow very well; the foods may not easily get cold if you do not leave a space between the foods
| Cool down hot foods before put in the refrigerator
