ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local

ofﬁce of your Electricity Company and ask

how long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected within

an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator

temperatures. However, you should minimize the

number of door openings while the power is off.

- Should the power failure last more than 24

hours, remove all frozen foods.

• If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the

keys should be kept out of the reach of children

and not in vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(possibility of temperature becoming too warm

in refrigerator) when sited for an extended period

of time below the cold end of the range of

temperature for which the refrigerating appliance

is designed.

• Do not store food which spoils easily at low

temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• 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 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 sufﬁcient 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.

Therefore, if you keep the vegetables in dark

refrigerator, they continue breathing and it makes

organic matter in vegetables decrease and wither

more quickly.

If you keep vegetables and fruits in fresh safe drawer,

you can keep them fresher because they can breathe

and photosynthesize in there at the same time.

Fresh LED for a long time.

It may cause an eye trouble.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The appliance is not

operating at all or the

temperature is too high.

• Check if the power plug is correctly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set?

• Does sun shine on the appliance or are there any heat sources nearby?

• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?

The food in the refrigerator

is frozen.

• Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest

temperature?

• Is the surrounding temperature too low?

There are unusual noises.

• Check if the appliance is installed on a stable and even oor.

• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?

• Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?

• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?

• A ticking sound occurs when the various accessories contract or

expand.

The front corners and sides

of the appliance are warm

and condensation starts to

form.

• Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to

prevent condensation from forming.

When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be

effective. However, this is not abnormal.

• In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of

the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the

cool surface of the appliance.

You can hear a liquid

bubbling in the appliance.

• This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.

There is a bad smell inside

the appliance.

• Is there any spoiled food inside of the refrigerator?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, sh) is wrapped so

that it is airtight.

• Clean out your refrigerator periodically and throw away any spoiled or

suspect food.

There is a layer of frost on

the appliances walls.

• Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the refrigerator?

• Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.

• Is the door fully closed?

Condensation forms on the

inside wall of the appliance

and around vegetables.

• Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high

humidity level or the door has been left open for a

long time.

• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
