• Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. But should the power failure last more than 24hours, remove all frozen food.

• If the key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the appliance.

• 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.

• 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.
