•Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance.
It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which may
lead to injury.
•Pull the power plug out of the socket before
replacing the interior light in the refrigerator.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individu
al
electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances 
or
household lights from causing an overloa
d.
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be
placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection
in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding
(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent
possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you have doubts on whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Introduction
14
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is 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.
In order 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
2in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular
appliance 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.
Important Safety Instruction
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the
appliance require special disposal procedures. When
disposal, please consult with service agent or a
similarly qualified person.

damage.
•If the appliance is not to be used for a long time,
pull out the power plug.
Any deterioration in the insulation may cause fire.
•Do not let children touch or play with the control
panel on the front of the appliance.
•The refrigerant used in fridge/freezer and the
gases in the insulation material require special
disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes
on the back of the appliances are damaged prior
to disposal.

1.Select a good location.
Place your fridge-freezer where it is easy to use.
2.Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, 
direct sunlight or moisture.
3.There must be proper air circulation around your
fridge-freezer to keep it operating efficiently. 
4.To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate
for the uneven floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid
in door closing. 
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the
cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise(        ) to
raise the unit,  clockwise(        ) to lower it.
5.Clean your fridge-freezer thoroughly and wipe off all
dust accumulated during shipping.
6.Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their
proper places.They are packed together to prevent
possible damage during shipment.
7.Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet.
Don't double up with other appliances on the same
outlet.
8.To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge -
freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the
sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5
cm) from the rear wall.
When your fridge-freezer is installed, allow it 2-3 hours to
stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling 
it with fresh or frozen foods.
If power plug is disconnected, allow 5 minutes delay
before restarting.
Your fridge-freezer is now ready for use.

the temperature in the fridge and freezer compartments.
• Initially set the TEMP. CONTROL at
"4". Then adjust the compartment
temperature according to your
desire.
• If you want an inside temperature slightly less cold or colder, turn the
knob towards WARM or COLD
,
respectively. When the surrounding
temperature is low, adjust the TEMP. CONTROL 'WARM'.

→ -15°C → -16°C → -17°C → -18°C 
NoteThe actual inner temperature varies depending on the
food status, as the indicated setting temperature is a
target temperature, not actual temperature within
refrigerator.
Refrigeration function is weak in the initial time.
Please adjust temperature as above after using
refrigerator for minimum 2~3 days.

• This function automatically detects failure when failure
   is found in product during the use of refrigerator.
• If the failure occurs at product and it does not operate
   by pressing any button and normal indication is not
   done, do not turn the power off and immediately
   contact with the local service center. 
• A lot of time is needed for service engineer to detect

Suggestions on food storage
Storing Food
Storing Food
•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
NoteIf you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid
place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

the loose items with tape.
•Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving
the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch
the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
•The Anti-Condensation
pipe is installed around the
front side of fridge-freezer
as well as on the partition
between fridge
compartment and freezer
compartment to prevent
dewing.
•Especially after installation
or when ambient
temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot,
which is quite normal.
