BEFORE USE

Preparation before use

1
Please arrange it as shown below.
● The floor should be sturdy and flat.
Lay a board with 1cm thickness on the floor if the refrigerator is installed on the
carpet, tatami mat, flooring or PVC sheet flooring which may be hollow or discolor.
●
Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat.
This will reduce adverse effects to refrigerating power and keep electricity cost down.
●
Do not place it in damp areas, and ensure good air ventilation.
This will prevent rust and condensation.
●
The refrigerator should be separated from other equipment such as TVs.
This is to prevent disturbance (noise / scattered image) to TVs and other devices
caused by the refrigerator.
2
Adjust and fix the refrigerator horizontally.
Hold the leg cover and pull it toward you to remove it.

the refrigerator when installing it.

Notice
● Depending on the strength and type of the
floor material, and the weight of the food,
the door may lower several days later
(about 5 days). In this case, adjust the
doors to be parallel again.
● If the place where the refrigerator is installed
is not horizontal or the floor material is soft,
there may be a height difference between
the left and right doors of the refrigerator.
There is no problem with the functioning of
the refrigerator, but if you are concerned,
adjust the doors to be parallel by following
the procedure on the left.
● If you make the refrigerator horizontal left
to right but make the front slightly higher
than the back, it will be easier to close the
doors and the doors will be less likely to
remain partially open.
● When you release your hand from a
refrigerator door with the door open,
the door may move, but this is normal.
