4_ safety information

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER

USAGE

• Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.

• To get best performance of product,

- 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 suffi 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.

troubleshooting

PROBLEM

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill suffi ciently.

The food in the fridge is frozen.

You hear unusual noises or sounds.

The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

SOLUTION

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge? Try moving those items into the body of the fridge instead of keeping them in the CoolSelect Zone™ drawer.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so that it is airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?
