ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER 
USAGE
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after 
installation.

-  Do not place foods too closely in front of 
the vents at the rear of the appliance as it 
can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer 
compartment.
-  Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight 
containers before put it into the fridge freezer
-  Do not put any newly introduced food for 
freezing near to already frozen food.
There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator 
from the power supply if you will be away for 
less than three weeks. But, remove all the food 
if you are going away for three weeks or more. 
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and 
dry.
 
The appliance might not operate consistently 
(possibility of defrosting of contents or 
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen 
food compartment) when sited for an extended 
period of time below the cold end of the range 
of temperatures for which the refrigerating 
appliance is designed.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low 
temperature, such as bananas, melons.
Place the ice tray at the originally provided 
posistion by manufacturer in order to achieve 
optimal ice-freezing.
Your appliance is frost free, which means there 
is no need to manually defrost your appliance, 
as this will be carried out automatically.
Temperature rising during the defrost can 
comply with ISO requirement. But If you want 
to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of 
the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, 
please wrap the frozen food in several layers of 
paper such as newspaper.
Any increase in temperature of frozen food 
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
Saving Energy Tips
-  Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with 
adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and 
never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for 
example).
- Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
-  Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in 
the appliance.
-  Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the 
frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
-  Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too 
long when putting food in or taking food out.
The shorter time for which the door is open, the less 
ice will form in the freezer.
-  Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust 
increases energy consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
-   
 
Ensure suf cient air exhaust at the refrigerator base 
and at the back wall of the refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent openings.
-  Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when 
installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep 
your energy bills lower.

direction. You should then be able to unscrew the 
nut 
1 with your  ngers.
2.  Adjust the height difference between the doors 
by turning the bolt 
2 clockwise  or 
counter clockwise 
.
When you turn clockwise 
, the door will
