Risk of fi re / fl ammable materials
WARNING
For power plug and cord...
● Periodically wipe the power plug with a dry cloth. (Dust accumulated on the plug of a refrigerator that operates continuously leads to reduced insulation due to moisture and may cause fi re.)
● Plug into a wall outlet of the rated voltage on its own with the rated current and insert plug fully.
● Connect to an exclusive wall outlet for the refrigerator only. Avoid connecting other appliances to the same wall outlet. Unroll entire length of the cord before plugging in.
● Unplug the unit when cleaning the refrigerator.
● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly quali fi ed persons in order to avoid a hazard.
● Please ensure minimum clearance of 10 cm for air ventilation and prevent damage to the power cord.
Introduction
For power plug and cord...
● Do not let the cord get damaged.

Installation
Installation
Is the refrigerator installed in the following locations?
● Locations subject to heat and direct sunlight
(The cooling power will be reduced and electricity wasted.)
● Poorly ventilated locations with high humidity
(Rust will be caused.)
● Locations where the surface is unstable and slanted
On carpet, mats, or vinyl fl oors, place a plate underneath the refrigerator.
● Locations not allowing the power plug to be cleaned easily
(Dust accumulated may cause a fi re.)
Has a heat radiating space been provided around the refrigerator?
10 cm or more at the back of the refrigerator
30 cm or more above the refrigerator
Before using for product.
8
5 cm or more both left and right
For safety, the grounding connection should be done
(For a refrigerator with plug (2-pin plug) without any grounding wire)
The grounding connection will allow prevention of danger resulted from electricity leakage.
The grounding connection can be performed in 2 ways as follows:
● In the case that the grounding receptacle has been prepared for the socket (plug socket), connect the grounding wire to the screw used for grounding connection at the bottom rear of the refrigerator 1
(regarding the screw used for grounding connection, please notice the
symbol) as shown in the illustration 1 .
● In the case that the socket (plug socket) has not been provided with any grounding receptacle, connect the grounding wire to the screw at the bottom of the refrigerator, (as regard to the screw used for grounding connection, please notice the
Grounding wire
Grounding receptacle

Illustration for the grounding connection
Prohibited spots for grounding connection
● Water supply pipes and gas pipes (dangers from electric shock or explosion).
● The grounding wires of telephone cords and lightning rods (dangers from lightning).
Installation
Requests and notices
Do not peel the seal on the back.
Seal
Otherwise, the cooling performance may deteriorate. If you have peeled it, then cut a cloth packing tape into a square and paste it onto the refrigerator.
Fix the refrigerator.
Turn the adjuster bolts (right and left) until they reach the fl oor to stabilize the refrigerator.
Refrigerator doors should not be opened during the interior cooling process.
The doors should not be opened until the interior has been cooled down suf fi ciently. (Warm air fl owing into the interior will block the cooling function.)
Quick Ice Making
ICE TWISTER
Please wait until the interior has cooled down.
● It may take approximately four hours to cool down the interior.
● It may take 24 hours or more to cool down the interior and achieve equilibrium in the summer, etc.
Have any measures taken against tipping due to earthquakes?
In order to prevent the refrigerator from tipping, permanently fi x it by using belts, etc.
If the door is slanted downwards.
Turn the adjuster bolt on the lower side, as shown in the diagram, in order to adjust the level.
● The freezer/refrigerator doors may tilt within four to fi ve days after installation due to the load of the food or adaptation to the fl oor surface, turn the corresponding adjuster bolt with the dedicated tool to adjust and level the door again to restore.
When the door is lowered.
Lower the right adjuster bolt for the right door.
Lower the left adjuster bolt for the left door.

SPECIAL FEATURE
● NON-FLON
This unit uses totally NON-FLON MATERIALS both for refrigerant (iso-butane (R600a)) and for insulation (Cyclo-Pentane). These materials do not damage the earths ozone layer and has almost no effect on global warming.
● INVERTER
In accordance with temperature change inside the compartment, the motor will run at different speeds. When the temperature inside the refrigerator is stable, the motor will run at a lower speed to save energy and lower noise.
When powerful cooling is required, the motor will run at a higher speed.

ECONAVI Operation
Model : NR-CY55 0 ( GK XZ)
The refrigerator detects the opening and closing of the refrigerator door and the brightness around the refrigerator to automatically control operation to ensure maximum energy saving.* 1
ECONAVI operation
● The refrigerator learns the lifestyle patterns of your family from door opening and time periods of infrequent use to maximise energy effi ciency.
● The refrigerator learns your lifestyle patterns from the previous 3 weeks of use and uses that data from the
4 th week onwards.
Therefore the ECONAVI lamp “ON/OFF” pattern may change from the 4 th week onwards.
● The refrigerator performs the ECONAVI energy saving operation when it becomes dark*
● The brightness of the ECONAVI lamp is lowered approximately 5 minutes after it is lit.

Light intensity sensor
Settings for enabling ECONAVI operation
● ECONAVI operation is automatically enabled when the temperature control for both the freezer compartment and fridge compartment is set to “Med”.
● ECONAVI mode does not operate if the [Quick Freezing] mode is in operation.
● It is not possible to force to start of the ECONAVI mode.
Remark
* 1 The effectiveness of the ECONAVI mode is dependant on the ambient temperature, ambient brightness and the number of times the refrigerator door is opened and closed and
* 2 the state in which food is stored.
Darkness is detected by the light intensity sensor at approximately 3 lx to 10 lx or less.
Model : NR-CY55 0 ( P KXZ)
This model also has ECONAVI mode, but it does not feature ECONAVI lamp and light intensity sensor.

Food Stored
In order to preserve food quality for long time, please store it in the right place.
When storing food...
● Foodstuff such as vegetable, fruits and fresh food should be wrapped or pack in box before freezing and refrigerating.
● If you will put high moisture content into refrigerator, should be sealed and wrapped to prevent dew and frost.
● Drinking water, beverage bottles should be sealed to prevent the odour.
● Store fruits and vegetables in vegetable case, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.

Using Tips
Basics of energy saving
Save cool air!
Do not stuff food into the compartments.
That may interfere with the cold air fl ow.
Provide suf fi cient space between foods.
Store warm food and drinks after they have cooled.
Otherwise, they will not only raise the interior temperature, but also affect the freshness of other foods.
Quick Ice Making
ICE TWISTER
Do not block the cold air outlet with food items!
If cool air does not spread into every corner of compartments, then the interior will not be
(Air outlet) suf fi ciently cooled and more electricity will be consumed.
When condensation occurs.
The humidity in the vegetable case is high and condensation may occur.
Just wipe off the water drops.
Do not put food in the refrigerator when it is not necessary.
A cold dark place will suf fi ce!
Cool just before you eat!
It is not necessary to store uncut onions, potatoes, etc. in the refrigerator (except during the summer).
If uncut tropical fruits are cooled down excessively, they may be discolored or their vitamin contents may decrease.
Storage using tightly sealed containers is recommended!

● Cut citrus fruits
( → The plastic will be discolored white.)
● Garlicky or other strong smelling vegetables
( → Odors will spread to other nearby food.)
