[e] SHUT DOWN
1) Before shutting down the unit, move the stored
foods into another refrigerator/freezer.
2) Unplug the unit or disconnect the main power
supply.
3) When preparing the unit for long storage, clean
the cabinet interior and Door Gaskets, dry them
thoroughly and store the unit in a dry place.
III. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
1. B e f o r e c a r r y i n g o u t a n y c l e a n i n g o r
maintenance operations, unplug the unit.
2. D o n o t t o u c h o r w e t t h e m a c h i n e
compartment parts. This could result in
failure or breakdown.
1. INTERIOR, EXTERIOR, SHELF
* Clean the interior and exterior at least once a
week for sanitary use. The unit can be moved by
unlocking the Casters [caster models].
* Clean off the interior and exterior with a soft cloth
soaked in cold or warm water containing the proper
amount of neutral cleaner and wrung dry. Do not
use a water jet to clean the machine compartment.
* Chemical agents other than neutral cleaner might
cause damage to the interior and exterior surfaces.
* The Door Gasket and its contact surface get
soiled easily. Clean every surface of these parts
thoroughly. Remnants of food will accelerate
aging.
* Use a cloth to wipe off any water staying inside the
cabinet.
2. AIR FILTER
A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the
air, and keeps the Condenser from getting clogged.
As the filter gets clogged, the refrigerator/freezer’s
performance will be reduced. Check the filter at
least twice a month. When clogged, use warm
water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter. Do not
operate the unit with the Air Filter removed, or the
Condenser will get clogged, resulting in failure.
1) Open the Front Panel, and remove the Air Filter.
To prevent injury, do not touch the Condenser
Fins directly.
2) Wash the Air Filter carefully with cold or warm
water containing the proper amount of neutral

Decimal Point
4) The displayed cabinet temperature is adjusted
to be almost equal to the temperature at the
center of the cabinet without foods. But it can be
different from the actual temperature depending
on arrangement of stored foods, frequency of door
opening or measuring points.
[c] RAPID REFRIGERATION
To refrigerate stored foods rapidly, choose the rapid
refrigeration mode. The Interior Fan Motor will
operate continuously to accelerate refrigeration.
1) Keep pressing the Rapid Button for 5 seconds to
operate the Interior Fan Motor continuously. The
decimal point on the Temperature Display Window
will disappear during the rapid refrigeration.
2) To resume normal operation, keep pressing the
Rapid Button for 5 seconds. The decimal point
will reappear on the Temperature Display Window.
3. To prevent possible damage, do not clean
the plastic parts with water above 40°C or in
a dishwasher.
