Before Use

Notes for Operation
• Users should keep in mind that frost can form.
If the door is not closed completely, if the
humidity is high during the summer, or if the
freezer door is opened frequently.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food
stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the
door to close completely.
• Opening the door lets warm air enter the
appliance, and may cause the internal
temperature to rise.
• If you are leaving the appliance turned off for
an extended period of time, remove all food
and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior,
and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent
mold from growing in the appliance.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored
foods. This allows cold air to be circulated
evenly and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order
to prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment,
set the freezer temperature lower than the
temperature indicated on the food.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of
the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at
least 3 cm from the sensor.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting
has a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the
impact this may have on the food storage due
to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored
food in several layers.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions.
Storing Foods Effectively
• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
• Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
• Do not store food for a long period of time
(more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low
temperature.
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food
in each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which
has been completely thawed again will lower its
taste and nutrition.
• Do not wrap and store vegetables with
newspaper. Printing material of newspaper
or other foreign substances may smear and
contaminate food.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• If you set an excessively low temperature
for food, it may become frozen. Do not
set a temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored correctly.
• For more space, you can remove bottle rack,
egg tray, ice tray and fresh converter drawer.
