OPERATION
CONTROLLING TEMPERATURES
The refrigerator controls its temperature automatically. However, if needed,
adjust the temperature as follows.
Freezer compartment
• 7 (MAX) setting directs more cold air to the freezer compartment. (mak-
ing the freezer compartment colder)
• 1 (MIN) setting directs less cold air to the freezer compartment. (making
the freezer compartment less colder)
• If the freezer does not cool even when setting FREEZER TEMP. CON-
TROL to 7(MAX), set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL to 5 (Coldest)
as well.
Refrigerator compartment
R E F R I G E R ATO R
TEMP. CONTROL
controls the com-
pressor running time
of the refrigeration
system.
• 5 (Coldest) setting will result in colder temperature in the both (refrigera-
tor and freezer) compartments.
• 1 (MIN) setting will result in warmer temperature in the both (refrigerator
and freezer) compartments.
• If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with REFRIGERATOR TEMP.
CONTROL set at 5 (Coldest), foods stored in the refrigerator compart-
ment may also freeze.
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if RE-
FRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set to 1 (MIN).
• The freezer compartment may not cool sufficiently when leaving REFRIG-
ERATOR TEMP. CONTROL as 1 (MIN) for an extensive period. To cool
the freezer compartment properly, set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CON-
TROL closer to 5 (Coldest).
NOTE:
• For hot summer conditions (about over
35
°
C ambient temperature), set your
FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL to less
colder than 4(MED) towards 1(MIN). This
is because 7(MAX) setting may result in
too little air flow to the refrigerator com-
partment, causing too warm temperature
in the refrigerator compartment. And set
your REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL
to colder than 3(MED).

COOLING CAPSULE
It is possible to cool juices so that they become slush. Juice may not freeze depending on
the condition of use.
• 2 cans that are 121mm in height and 68mm in diameter (equivalent to 350ml cans) may
be placed.
NOTE:
• There is no rapid freeze function. The cooling speed is the same as the refrig-
erator compartment.
• Do not place ice cream or it will melt.
• Do not place bottles or they may break.
• Always completely close the cooling capsule lid.
• In a cold kitchen (about under 10
°
C am-
bient temperature), set your FREEZER
TEMP. CONTROL to 7(MAX) to avoid too
warm temperature in the freezer compart-
ment. This is because the compressor op-
eration is too short in winter, and not
enough cold air is provided to the freezer
compartment. And if the foods in the re-
frigerator compartment freeze, you must
set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL
to less colder setting towards 1(MIN).
• With FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set to
7(MAX), there will be less cold air directed
to the refrigerator compartment, and the
refrigerator compartment may not become
cold enough.

HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE
1.Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes will be joined together when
frozen.
2.When the ice cubes are made, turn the lever clockwise to empty the ice into Ice cube
box.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not make ice in the Ice cube box or pour oil
into it.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time is proportional to
the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during the winter
season or you’re away on holidays), the longer the time between each defrost cycle.
