5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

• Turn off power before cleaning or repairing the refrigerator.

• The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are interior LED lighting, and service should be

performed by a qualified technician.

• Turn off power immediately in the event of a blackout or thunderstorm.

• Turn the power off if water or dust penetrates into the refrigerator. Call a service agent.

• Do not store glass containers or soda in the freezer compartment. Contents may expand when frozen,

break the container and cause injury.

• Do not store, disassemble or repair the appliance yourself or allow unqualified personnel to do so.

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

• If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent

or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Disposal

• Risk of child entrapment. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for

only a few days. When disposing of the refrigerator, remove the packing materials from the door or take

off the doors but leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• If disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant and insulation foam are removed for proper

disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release the refrigerant or throw away the insulation foam, you

may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law. Insulation foam contains

flammable blowing gas.

• When discarding the appliance, remove the door gasket while leaving the shelves and bins in place, and

keep children away from the appliance.

Grounding Instructions

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is 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 naked flames or potential sources of

ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating

circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the

amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for

every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your

particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an

appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,

check date code to ensure freshness.

CAUTION

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door

bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or

personal injury if items are removed with

excessive force.

• Do not store glass containers in the freezer.

Contents may expand when frozen, break the

container and cause injury.

How to Store Food

• Butter or Margarine

- Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed

compartment. When storing an extra supply,

wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

•Cheese

- Store in original wrapping until used. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or

aluminum foil.

• Milk

- Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place

containers on an interior shelf.

• Eggs

- Store in original carton on interior shelf, not in

door bin.

•Fruit

- Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be

used. Sort and keep fruit in original container

in a crisper, or store in completely closed

paper bag on refrigerator shelf.

• Leafy Vegetables

- Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off

bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold

water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic

container and store in crisper.

• Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

- Place in plastic bags or plastic container and

store in crisper.

•Fish

- Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not

being eaten the same day purchased. Eating

fresh fish and shellfish the same day

purchased is recommended.

•Leftovers

- Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum

foil, or store in plastic containers with tight

lids.

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a

short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.

Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will

stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.

• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for

an extended period, remove all food and unplug

the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the

door open to prevent fungi from growing in the

refrigerator.

• Do not store food with high moisture content

towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture

could come into direct contact with the cold air

and freeze.

• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator.

Vegetables should be washed, and food

packaging should be wiped down to prevent

adjacent foods from being contaminated.

• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid

place, frequent opening of the door or storing a

lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause

condensation to form. Wipe off the

condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

• If the refrigerator door is opened or closed too

often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

and raise its temperature. This can increase the

running costs of the unit.

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for

further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity

of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the

freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more

than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer

space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to

circulate around packages. Be careful to leave

enough room at the front so the door can close

tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality

and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap

used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the

storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed

package are normal. This simply means that

en-us_main.book.book Page 17 Tuesday, January 10, 2023 2:32 PM

18 OPERATION

moisture in the food and air inside the package

have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE

• Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for

30 minutes, and then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not

allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could

have food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging Recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for

proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
