Notes for Operation 

 

Do not use the ice water dispenser tank for 

beverages other than drinking water.

 

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.

 

Do not open or close the appliance door 

excessively.

 

The LED lamp is only intended for use in 

domestic appliances and is not suitable for 

household room illumination.

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 appliance.

 

Do not set the temperature of the appliance 

lower than needed. For ice making in normal 

climates, the freezer temperatures should be set 

to -19 or colder.

 

Do not put food near the temperature sensor of 

the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at 

least 3 cm from the sensor.

 

Please 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.

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. Fill less than 70 % 

of the space. Cold air can not circulate properly 

if the appliance is overfilled.

 

Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot 

food is placed inside, the internal temperature of 

the appliance can increase and negatively affect 

other foods stored in the appliance.

 

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

 

Always keep the appliance clean.

NOTE

 

Do not put living plants into the appliance.

Max Freezing Capacity

 

The Express Freeze function will allow the 

freezer to its maximum freezing capacity. This 

generally takes up to seven hours, however, it 

will automatically turn off after a given time and 

can also be turned off manually at any given 

time.

 

To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts 

like baskets, drawers, and shelves.
