OPERATION

CONTROLLING TEMPERATURES

The refrigerator controls its temperature automatically. However, if needed, adjust the temperature as follows.

Freezer compartment

FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL regulates the quantity of cold air to the freezer.
FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL
(WINTER SEASON)
MIN MED
1 2 3 4 5 6
• 7 (MAX) setting directs more cold air to the freezer compartment. (mak-
ing the freezer compartment colder)
• 1 (MIN) setting directs less cold air to the freezer compartment. (making
the freezer compartment less colder)
• If the freezer does not cool even when setting FREEZER TEMP. CON-
TROL to 7(MAX), set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL to 5 (Coldest)
as well.

Refrigerator compartment

REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL controls the compressor running time
of the refrigeration system.

• 5 (Coldest) setting will result in colder temperature in the both (refrigera-
tor and freezer) compartments.
• 1 (MIN) setting will result in warmer temperature in the both (refrigerator
and freezer) compartments.
• If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with REFRIGERATOR TEMP.
CONTROL set at 5 (Coldest), foods stored in the refrigerator compart-
ment may also freeze.
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if RE-
FRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set to 1 (MIN).
• The freezer compartment may not cool sufficiently when leaving REFRIG-
ERATOR TEMP. CONTROL as 1 (MIN) for an extensive period. To cool
the freezer compartment properly, set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CON-
TROL closer to 5 (Coldest).

HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE

1.Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes will be joined to-
gether when frozen.
2.When the ice cubes are made, turn the lever clockwise to empty the ice into Ice
cube box.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not make ice in the Ice cube
box or pour oil into it.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time is proportional to
the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during the winter
season or you're away on holidays), the longer the time between each defrost cycle.
7(MAX)
For making ice rapidly or fast freezing.
MAX
Coldest
4(MED)
7
For normal freezing.
1(MIN)
When frozen food or ice cream is not stored.
For keeping foods fresher tasting.
When the refrigerator does not provide sufficient cooling.
3(MED)
For normal operation.
1(MIN)
When the refrigerator provides excessive cooling.
NOTE:
• For hot summer conditions (about over
35°C ambient temperature), set your
FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL to less
colder than 4(MED) towards 1(MIN).
This is because 7(MAX) setting may re-
sult in too little air flow to the refrigerator
compartment, causing too warm tem-
perature in the refrigerator compartment.
And set your REFRIGERATOR TEMP.
CONTROL to colder than 3(MED).

• In a cold kitchen (about under 10°C am-
bient temperature), set your FREEZER
TEMP. CONTROL to 7(MAX) to avoid
too warm temperature in the freezer
compartment. This is because the com-
pressor operation is too short in winter,
and not enough cold air is provided to
the freezer compartment. And if the
foods in the refrigerator compartment
freeze, you must set REFRIGERATOR
TEMP. CONTROL to less colder setting
towards 1(MIN).

• With FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set
to 7(MAX), there will be less cold air di-
rected to the refrigerator compartment,
and the refrigerator compartment may
not become cold enough.
