Safety information
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your electric
company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will
not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should
minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and
discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents
can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen
food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a
location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have
a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out
automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO
requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the
frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
• The temperature of two star section (sections) or compartment
(compartments) which have two star symbol ( ) is slightly higher
than other freezer compartment (compartments).
The two star section (sections) or compartment (compartments) is
(are) based on the instruction and/or the condition as delivered.

Saving Energy Tips
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it
near a direct source of heat (a radiator, for example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy
efciency.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use
the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
• Do not keep the door of the refrigerator open for too long when
putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time the door is
open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the
back and sides. This will help reduce power consumption and keep
your energy bills lower.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied
by manufacturer.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as
• staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
• farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential

Troubleshooting
If you encounter an abnormal situation with the refrigerator, rst check the table below
and try the suggestions.
General
Symptom Action
Does not operate or
cool.
• Make sure the power cord is connected properly.
• Make sure the temperature control is set correctly.
• Make sure to keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight
or a heat source. Failing to do so may affect the cooling
performance.
• Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear
and side walls or the cabinet. Failing to do so may affect the
cooling performance.
• Too much food may block the ventilation of the refrigerator.
To keep the refrigerator in normal operation, do not put too
much food inside.
Food in the fridge
freezes.
• Check if the temperature control is set to the lowest
temperature. If so, change the temperature to higher or
optimal.
• This happens if the ambient temperature is too low. Set the
temperature higher.
• Check if food containing a high portion of water is put in the
coldest area of the fridge or near the cooling vent. If this
happens, move the food to other shelves in the fridge.
Emits noises.
• Make sure the refrigerator is installed on a stable, at
surface.
• Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear
and side walls or the cabinet.
• Make sure to keep the refrigerator from impurities or foreign

Troubleshooting
Symptom Action
The front corners
and sides become
warm and form
condensation.
• To prevent condensation from forming, the refrigerator
has heat-proof piping in the front corners. If the ambient
temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively.
This is not a system failure.
• Condensation may form on the exterior surface of the
refrigerator if humid air comes into contact with the cool
surface of the refrigerator.
The ice maker does
not make ice.
• You must wait for 12 hours until the refrigerator makes ice.
• Make sure the ice maker is not stopped while making ice.
• Make sure the freezer is set below 0 °C (or -5 °C in warm
ambient air).
• Make sure the water tank is lled with water.
The water dispenser
is not functioning.
• Check if the water tank is frozen. If so, select a higher fridge
temperature.
• Make sure the water tank is lled with water.
• Make sure the water tank is installed properly.
• Make sure the water lter is installed properly.

refrigerator on a regular basis and remove any spoiled or
suspect food items.
• Make sure strong smelling food is wrapped up airtight.
Frost forms on the
interior walls.
• Make sure no food blocks the vents of the refrigerator. It is
also important to arrange food items evenly for ventilation.
• Make sure the door is closed properly.
Condensation forms
on the interior walls
or around vegetables.
• This happens when food containing a high portion of water is
stored uncovered, or the door has been left open for a while.
• Make sure food is covered or put in sealed containers.
