When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabili\
ze at normal operating temperatures
prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.
BEFORE SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
●The temperature of the refrigerator is kept constant regardless of chang\
es in room temperature.
It is recommended that, once set, the temperature settings(the controls\
 for the refrigerator and
freezer compartments) not be changed unless necessary.
●This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerato\
r compartment and one
temperature control dial for the freezer compartment.
●The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerat\
or compartment is ‘3°C’.
●The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer comp\
artment is 5.
●This refrigerator has a temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartme\
nt. It will start and stop the
compressor automatically as needed.

n alarm will sound three times. 
It the door remains open, the alarm will repeat every 30 seconds.
LAMP AUTO OFF FEATUREWhen the door is open for 7 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off \
automatically to save energy
and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the do\
or is closed.
SELF TEST●  Your refrigerator contains a built in diagnostic capability. If it devel\
ops a malfunction in certain areas, it will
display an error code to assist the repair technician. While an error co\
de is displayed, other control and
display functions will not operate.

unlock, press and hold the CHILD LOCK
button for 3 seconds again.
CONTROLS FOR FREEZER COMPARTMENT
●  The higher number the control setting is, the lower the
temperature of the freezer compartment becomes.
●  Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air,
the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer
compartment becomes colder.
●  When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter,
adjust the control for the freezer to High(6~8).
●  Setting the Freezer Knob at            will satisfy 4 STAR. Setting the \
Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have
sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORM\
AL.

●
How to use
Re-Using of Deodorizer
DEFROSTING
●
●
• As Deodorizer is located in cooling air inlet for circulating air in fre\
sh food compartment, there isno need for any handling.
• Do not prick the cooling air inlet with a sharp tip because Deodorizer m\
ay be damaged.
• When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container\
 with a lid because odor may be passed on to other foods.
Defrosting takes place automatically.
The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which located in \
  
the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.\
Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food
compartment is deodorized with no harm to
you and the food.
• Used some length and the odor is strong, Deodorizer can be revived and re-used.
• Separate Deodorizer in ceiling of refrigerator compartment, using hair drier to remove
moisture or malodor and oxidize under sunlight
to decomposing malodor by ultraviolet.

STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and\
 thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as ban\
anas, pineapples, and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrige\
rator could spoil other  
food, and lead to higher electric bills!
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container \
with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrient\
s.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keep\
s refrigerator temperatures 
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter th\
e refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator
shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled
air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered
container.
It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable
and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is
necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it
close to the door away from the back wall of the
refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrig\
erator.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should b\
e washed and wiped, 
and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoilin\
g.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and\
 always store them 
in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when fr\
ozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and\
 nutrition.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on t\
he freezer shelf, not in 
the door rack.
Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods \
on the following position for freezing:
 even.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

CLEANING
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean
to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should
be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes,
coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet
or damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap or dish washable solution to clean the
durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and then dry.
INTERIOR  - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Use a lukewarm
solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to
clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe
with a clean, damp cloth and then dry. INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment 
shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic 
door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild 
soap or dish washable solution to clean 
the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe 
with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall 
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of 
electrical parts(lamps, switches, controls, etc.).
Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or
cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting 
into any electrical part and causing electric 
shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning
liquids.
• Caution for Cleaning Not in use : Surface
active agent, Car wax, Anticorrosive, All sorts
of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.
• Usable Detergent Vegetable dish washable solution, Soapy water.
• When careless using, it can occur a color change.
GENERAL INFORMA TION
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN
to prevent odor formation.
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on
top of your frozen packages.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them
all the way into the base. The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm,
especially just after
installation.
Dont be alarmed.
This is due to the anti-
condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to
prevent sweating on the
outer cabinet wall.
