Drawers
When first turning on refrigerator after a
period of non-use, allow the refrigerator to
cool at least 2 hours before adding food.
Do not block air circulation vents with stored
items.
Store items so that the air can circulate
freely around them.
Cover or wrap stored food well to avoid
transfer of odors.
Once defrosted, food quality will deteriorate
rapidly. Defrosted food should not be refrozen.
Neither bottled nor canned drinks should be
stored in the freezer compartment. Bottles
and cans may explode.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm
water when they are cold. Shelves and covers
may break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered
glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves
and covers are heavy. Use both hands when
removing them to avoid dropping.
Refrigerator
Glass shelves and Door racks
The refrigerator compartment is provided with
several different door racks, which are suitable
for the storage of eggs, canned liquid, bottled
drinks and packed food. They can be placed at
different heights according to your need, but do
not place too many heavy things in racks. Before
you lift up the door shelf vertically, please take
the food out.
Note:
The door racks and shelves can be taken
out to be cleaned.
When you remove the shelves, gently pull them
forward until the shelf comes clear of the shelf
guides. When you return the shelves, make sure
there is no obstacle behind and gently push the
shelf back into the position.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug your appliance or disconnect power before
cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock or
personal injury.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about
once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up
spills immediately. To avoid odor transfer and
drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents,
abrasives or metal scouring pads to clean your
refrigerator inside or out. They can damage
and/or discolor the refrigerator finish.
Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves
while they are still cold. Glass may break when
exposed to sudden temperature changes or
impact.
WARNING
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Clean the interior.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts
and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water.
3. Clean the door seals (gaskets). A dirty or
sticky door seal may adhere to the cabinet
and tear when you open the door.
Using a soft cloth and a solution of mild
detergent and warm water, hand wash the
door seals. Rinse with clear water and dry
thoroughly.
4. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Vacation
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While
You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other
items.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You
Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and
freezer.
2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough for
air to get in. This stops odor and mold from
building up.
5. Raise the leveling legs so they don’t scrape
the floor . See “Level Refrigerator.”
6. Tape the doors closed and tape the power
cord to the back of the refrigerator. When
you get to your new home, put everything
back and refer to the “Installation Instructions”
section for preparation instructions.
1. Clean refrigerator. See “Cleaning.”
2. Place refrigerator in desired location and
level. See “Installation Instructions.
If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal
or tilted position for any period of time wait 4
hours before plugging it in to allow the oil to
settle into the compressor.

Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below
to save energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long
periods
in order to conserve energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from
any
sources of heat. (Direct sunlight, electric oven or
cooker etc.)
Don't set the temperature colder than
necessary.
Don't store warm food or evaporating
liquid in
the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well
ventilated,
humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing
your new appliance chapter.
T
he diagram shows the correct
combination
for the drawers, crisper and shelves. Do
not
adjust the combination as this is
designed to be
the most energy efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into
the
refr
igerator, the internal temperature will increase
resulting in the compressor having to work harder
and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food
, particularly if it
has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate
freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap
and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer. Always follow food storage times and
use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
They should
be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in
the special drawer provided.
Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped inairtight
foil or plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles:Should have a lid and be stored in
the door racks.
Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a
period out of
use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the
higher settings before putting food in the
compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity
required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh frozen food to
touch the
food which is already frozen to avoid partially
thawing the frozen food.
Iced products, if consumed
immediately
after
removal from the freezer compartment, will
probably cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of the
storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been
stored
correctly by the food retailer.
Once defrosted
food will deteriorate
rapidly and
should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the
storage
period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off
for an extended period, the following steps
should be taken prevent mould on the
appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the
mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open
slightly to allow air to circulate.
