• This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43°C (90 SOgr F). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed underlow ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation 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 ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.
• If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge 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.
