and dry them. Wash the rest of the interior with warm sudsy water or baking soda solution (3
tablespoons to 1 liter of water), rinse and dry it.
Magnetic door seals: Wash it with warm sudsy water.
The Finishing Touch: Replace all parts and return the thermostat dial to your desired setting.
2. lt is necessary to maintain enough ventilation space around the unit to attain the proper per-
formance, dissipation of heat, high efficiency and low power consumption. Clearance of a mini-
mum 2 inches should be maintained at the rear and sides of the unit. And especially do not
obstruct the hot air outlet frame. (see: "HOW TO INSTALL")
3. To attain proper performance, be sure to plug the appliance into a properly grounded 115/60
Hz outlet.

3. Check that the fuse has not blown in main supply circuit.
When you wish to move the fridge:
1. Secure all movable parts and contents. (pack them separately if necessary.)
2. Transport the fridge only in an upright position, for the compressor may be damaged in any
other position.
If the refrigerator seems too warm inside:
1. Check to see that the door is closing properly and the door seal is not damaged.
2. Check that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many goods stored. (The
fridge is overloaded)
3. Did you store anything hot without cooling it to room temperature first?
4. ls there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?
5. Do anything obstruct the front hot air outlet frame?
When the refrigerator is cooling excessively:
1.The temperature may be set too low.
2. lf you place food that contain a lot of moisture directly under the cool outlets, they will freeze
easily. This does not indicate a unit malfunction.
When the defrosting water overows inside the refrigerator and onto the oor:
1. Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not clogged.
2. Check that the drain pan is housed properly.
When condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator:
1. Condensation may form on the outside of the unit when the humidity level is too high such as
during a wet season, the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured
into a glass. Therefore, this does not indicate a failure. Wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
