OPERATION
CONTROLLING TEMPERATURES
The refrigerator controls its temperature automatically. However, if needed, adjust the temperature as follows.
Freezer
compartment
If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with
FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set at 7 (MAX),
foods stored in the refrigerator compartment may
also freeze.
2 star section for storing frozen foods only.
(not freezing)
Refrigerator
compartment
If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with REFRIG-
ERATOR TEMP. CONTROL set at 7 (Coldest), foods stored
in the refrigerator compartment may also freeze.
Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze
even if REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set to 1
(MIN).
HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE
1.Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes will be joined to-
gether 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 youre away on holidays), the longer
the time between each defrost cycle.
DEODORIZING UNIT
A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts oper-
ating when the refrigerator is powered on.

STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To
maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible qual-
ity. The following is a general guide to help promote
longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap,
bags ( do not seal ) and place in the Vegetable crisper.
Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g. or-
anges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer
packaging which informs the recommended tem-
perature and shelf life of the product.
Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the
rear of the shelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or
placed in an airtight container.
NOTE:
Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to
circulate efficiently.
FOR BEST FREEZING
Quality of foods should be fresh.
Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.
Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should
be removed to seal tightly.
Evenly place the food in the freezer.
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.
Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Stor-
ing hot foods increases the temperature in the
unit and increases the risk of food spoilage.
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air
circulating circuit with foods or containers; oth-
erwise the foods will not be evenly cooled
throughout the refrigerator.
Do not place food directly in
front of cold air outlet. This
may lead to the food freezing.
