BEFORE USE

Preparation before use

1

Installing your refrigerator

● The fl oor should be sturdy and fl at.
Lay the board which has 1cm thickness on the fl oor if the refrigerator is installed on the carpet, tatami mat,
fl ooring or PVC sheet fl ooring which may hollow or discolor.
● A location away from direct sunlight and heat is recommended.
● A location is not damp and has good air fl ow.
This will reduce adverse effects to refrigerating power and keep electricity cost
down. This will also prevent the refrigerator from discoloring and rusting.
● To cool effi ciently, allow enough space around the refrigerator for
radiating heat.
● The actual size of the center part of the side of the refrigerator's main body
is slightly larger than the nominal size. Therefore, please allow enough space
around the when installing the refrigerator.
● The back of the refrigerator can be placed very close to the wall. If any
vibration sound occurs and/or any discolor/dirt is found on the wall,
move the refrigerator away from the wall.
