 OPERATIONS
STARTING
When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures
prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

CONTROLS FOR REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The default setting of the temperature control button for

the refrigerator compartment is NORMAL.
To control the refrigerator temperature, press the REF.
MIN MAX TEMP CONTROL button.
When the button is pressed, the LEDs light.
The temperature is set in 5 steps, from MIN to MAX.

Ref. Temp Control Button

CONTROLS FOR FREEZER COMPARTMENT

● The higher number the control setting is, the lower the
FREEZER CONTROL temperature of the freezer compartment becomes.
1 FREEZER MIN
5 NORMAL
8 FREEZER MAX ● Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air,
the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer
7 6 5 4 3 compartment becomes colder.

● When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter,

adjust the control for the freezer to High(6~8).

● Setting the Freezer Knob at will satisfy 4 STAR. Setting the Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have
sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORMAL.

GREEN ION DOOR COOLING (OPTIONAL)

● The anion coating in the duct cover purifies the air and
helps stored foods remain fresh longer.
● If water of foreign substances enter the cool air vent while
cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is
damaged, efficiency may be lowered owing to the escape
of cool air.

 OPERATIONS
ICE MAKING
Twisting Ice Serve Type
● To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and Ice Trays
insert in its position.
Ice Cube Box

● To remove ice cubes, hold the lever of the tray and

pull turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop in to the ice
cube box.

FRESH ZONE
● When the door is opened, the warmer air don't influence
in the fresh zone. So you can store food more fresh in it.

VEGETABLE DRAWER

• Sealing structure keep the humidity.

Vitamin Kit (Optional)

Vitamin Kit
• Vitamin Kit used to keep fruits more fresher.
• Please try to keep the kit from getting wet as
this would decrease its effectiveness.

12
 OPERATIONS
DEFROSTING
● Defrosting takes place automatically.
● The defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which located in
the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.

DEODORIZER (OPTIONAL)
● Unpleasant odor of food in fresh food
compartment is deodorized with no harm to
you and the food.

How to use
• As Deodorizer is located in cooling air inlet for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is no need
for any handling.
• Do not prick the cooling air inlet with a sharp tip because Deodorizer may be damaged.
• When storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because odor may be
passed on to other foods.

Re-Using of Deodorizer
• Used some length and the odor is strong,
Deodorizer can be revived and re-used.
• Separate Deodorizer in ceiling of refrigerator
compartment, using hair drier to remove
moisture or malodor and oxidize under sunlight
to decomposing malodor by ultraviolet.

13
 OPERATIONS
DAIRY CORNER
● Use the moving by pushing right the left with
protruded handle.

How to remove the cover when you clean

● Push the cover and move it to the center of basket
● Move the cover at the middle of basket and align the
hole with bothsides of the basket
● After aligning,turn basket from back to front and pull
out with both hands.

14
 SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
● Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
● Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
melons.
● Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills!
● When storing the 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 cause
temperatures to rise.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
● 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 nutrition.
● 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
● Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator
shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled
air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered
container.
● 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.
● Always clean food prior to refrigeration. 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 up-
right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
