How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor. Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills! When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in 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 chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even. Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise. FREEZER COMPARTMENT ● ● ● ● ● 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. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. It is recomended to load food at least 11mm against back of freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment. Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing: Newly Introduced Food ● Freezer Door Basket, marked ( storage of frozen food (optional). ) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT ● Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container. ● It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator. Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. ● ● When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer. 21 CLEANING It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Before you clean, however, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands. INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the inner lining of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. WARNING Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts(lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anticondensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall. POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. IF YOU MOVE Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them all the way into the base. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: - Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments. - Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments. - Bed and breakfast type environments. - Catering and similar non-retail applications.

Door may have been left ajar. 26 EARTH (GROUNDING) CONSTRUCTION (OPTIONAL) It is recommended to install the earth wire to prevent electric shock in case of electricity leakage. How to connect the earth wire: • Connect the earth wire's metal ring end to the earth screw on the back of the refrigerator. • Peel off the cable sheath/insulation at the other end of the earth wire. Attach the peeled wire to a metal screw/nail and then drive it through the wall or ground. Do not connect the earth wire to the following locations. • Gas pipe It could produce sparks which lead to fire and explosion. • Telephone earth wire and lightning rod It is dangerous during lightning. • Water pipe and water tap The earth wire connection will not work when the middle of the water pipe is made of plastic. If it is connected to a metal water pipe, it could cause someone to be electrocuted. When installing the product in a humid or wet location, you must install the earth wire. Ex) • Unfloored or dirt floored room (Room with dirt and no floor), concrete floor • Location where it can get wet such as near the sink • Location where water can leak or is humid such as basement • Other wet or humid location Especially, for locations where it always get wet such as near the restaurant sink, you are obligated by the law to install a circuit breaker in addition to the earth wire. After consulting with your retailer or electric construction company, you must do the earth wire construction (Type 3 earth construction). Please note that earth construction could incur extra fees. 27 SMART DIAGNOSIS (Only for applied models) Smart diagnosis function is...
