Introduction
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment.
Before you dispose of your old refrigerator please remove doors but leave the shelves
in place so that children cannot climb inside.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
In order to prevent possible electric shock this appliance must be earthed. Improper
electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely
understood, or if you have doubts as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.
Do not use the combustible spray near the refrigerator.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a ammable propellant in
this appliance.
It may cause re.
Keep ventilation openings in the room where the appliance is installed clear of
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Disposal procedures. If disposing of this appliance, please consult with a service
This appliance may contain (Check the rating/comliance label for the refriger-
ant type and amount. Applicable to some models only) a small amount of
isobutane refrigerant (R600a),
natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure
that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out
of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any

▪ If a fault occurs, and none of the refrigerator buttons or functions are working,
do not turn power off but immediately contact your local service centre. Once

function to detect what caused the original fault.
The first ice and water may include particles or odour from the feed water pipe
or the feed water box. The should also be done if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
Children may push the dispenser switch incorrectly, or damage the dispenser
by breaking associated parts. It may also cause them injury.
If foods are placed at the entrance of the ice chute, ice may not be dispensed.
The ice chute may become covered with ice powder if crushed ice is most
commonly used. Remove the accumulated ice powder.
Such glasses or containers may be broken.
This may damage the automatic ice maker.
Water may be splashed if ice is added after the drink.
Touching the ice outlet may cause a breakage or hand injury.
Ice may be jammed in ice chute causing the refrigerator to fail.
If ice is allowed to pile up near the ice maker, the ice maker may think that it is
already full and it will stop producing ice.
A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.
Water is cooled while stored in the water tank in the refrigerator compartment, and
then sent to the dispenser. Ice is made in the automatic ice maker and is then sent
to the dispenser as either crushed or cubed ice.
NOTE
• It is normal that at first the water is not very cold. If you want colder water, add ice to the glass.
Throw away the first ice (about 20 pieces) and the first water (about 7 glasses)
passing through the appliance when the refrigerator is initially installed.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Always ensure that food does not block the ice chute.
Never use fine crystal glasses or crockery to collect ice.
Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice storage bin for
rapid cooling.
Put ice into a glass before filling with water or other beverages.
Never touch the ice outlet either with hands or any implement.
If discolored ice is dispensed, stop using the appliance and contact your serv-
ice centre immediately.
Never remove the ice maker cover. It might be necessary from time to time to
level the ice so the storage bin can fill to capacity.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
Never use narrow or deep glassware when using the icemaker
as ice can back up into the ice chute and cause a malfunction.

The other
functions
You can use the Automatic ice maker and Water Dispenser function
without having to connect an external water pipe to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator uses an internal water tank located on the
refrigerator door to supply water for these functions.
To fill the water tank
Lift up the clamps on both sides to open the water
tank cover, and then fill the tank. Pour water up to the
marked line (4.5ℓ). When the tank is full, close the tank
cover and lock the clamps on both sides.
The water tank can also be filled from the removable fill
cap located on the water tank lid.
NOTE
When assembling or disassembling the water tank, be careful not to apply
excessive force as it can damage the water tank.

As the ice maker uses water from the water tank, you may hear the water pump

Because the water tank can get heavy,don’t let children use or hold the water
It’s a good idea to clean out the water initially before filling it with water
Using other liquid besides water can cause problems to the pump.
To remove the water tank:
Turn the locking dial to the “OPEN” position as shown in
Fig.(1). Then hold and pull the cap of the water tank in the
direction of the arrow in Fig.(2) to release the water tank.
the water tank can now be lifted carefully out of the door
basket for filling or cleaning.
To refit the water tank:
Place the filled water tank back into the door basket and align
the pick up nozzle to the water pipe spigot as shown in Fig (3).
Firmly push the tank so that the water pick up nozzle locates into
the spigot. Fig (4). Then turn the locking dial to the “CLOSED” position.
The pump motor will then automatically operate when this is
done so that the water line is purged of any air.
NOTE: If the tank is not inserted correctly, water will leak
from the pick up nozzle onto the door basket.
Always wait 15 seconds after dispensing water before
attempting to remove the water bottle for filling or cleaning.

Suggestion on food storage

Storing foods
Suggestion for energy saving
▪ Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed
is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavour.
▪ Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas,
and melons.
▪ Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in a refrigerator could
spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
▪ When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid.
This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and
nutrients.
▪ Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps
refrigerator temperatures even.
▪ Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator and causes temperatures to rise.
▪ Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks
so that the door cannot fully close.
▪ Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
▪ Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrients.
▪ When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
▪ Do not touch cold foods or containers - especially metallic containers - with wet
hands or place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- You may get chill blains, and glass containers may break when frozen, causing
personal injury.
▪ Avoid placing sauces on top refrigerator shelves, which could freeze on direct
contact with chilled air.
▪ Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed
and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from
spoiling.
▪ When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and
always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
