[. . . ] 23 2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION w Warning w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. w Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. w Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. w The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. [. . . ] If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting. BEFORE SETTING THE TEMPERATURE G The temperature of the refrigerator is kept constant regardless of changes in room temperature. It is recommended that, once set, the temperature settings(the controls for the refrigerator and freezer compartments) not be changed unless necessary. This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and one temperature control dial for the freezer compartment. The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment is `3°C'. The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is '5'. This refrigerator has a temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. It will start and stop the compressor automatically as needed. G G G G DOOR ALARM When the door of the refrigerator or the freezer is open for 1 minute, an alarm will sound three times. It the door remains open, the alarm will repeat every 30 seconds. LAMP AUTO OFF FEATURE When the door is open for 7 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off automatically to save energy and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the door is closed. SELF TEST G Your refrigerator contains a built in diagnostic capability. If it develops a malfunction in certain areas, it will display an error code to assist the repair technician. While an error code is displayed, other control and display functions will not operate. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise. G G G G G FREEZER COMPARTMENT G G G G Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing: REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT G Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer. G G G 18 CLEANING It is important that you refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. [. . . ] Clean the inside and outside of the cover cap with dishwashing detergent and rinse thoroughly under running water. If it is used with soft drinks, put water in the water tank and discharge three or four cups of water shortly. 20 GENERAL INFORMATION VACATION TIME During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. This is due to the anticondensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall. POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. [. . . ]
