BEFORE USE

Installing your refrigerator
The  oor should be sturdy and  at.
Lay the board which has 1cm thickness on the  oor if the refrigerator is installed on the carpet, tatami mat,
ooring or PVC sheet  ooring which may be hollow or discolor.
A location away from direct sunlight and heat is recommended.
The location is not damp and has good air  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 ef 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.

Left side or right side of the door may be slightly lower when the surface of the installation place is not
level or either of the left and right leg is sunk in the  oor surface because of the soft  oor material and
