MAINTENANCE ALONG WITH SOME USEFUL TIPS.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Install in an appropriate location.  
NEXT  
Place the refrigerator where it is easily  
accessible.  
1. Clean your refrigerator and remove dust  
accumulated during transportation.  
2. Avoid placing your refrigerator near heat sources,  
direct sunshine, or areas of high humidity.  
2. Install all accessories, such as ice trays, in the  
correct places.  
3. There must be an appropriate air flow  
around your refrigerator in order to get a good  
performance. If your refrigerator is placed close  
to the walls, it must have a clearance of 10"  
on top and 2" on both sides.  
They are packed together to prevent damage  
in transit.  
3. Follow the instructions for handle assembly.  
4. After moving the refrigerator, wait an hour  
before plugging it in to allow the oil to settle  
in the compressor.  
The refrigerator must have a 1” clearance from  
the floor, specially if it’s carpeted.  
4. To avoid problems, the refrigerator should be  
properly leveled. If necessary, adjust the leveling 5. Connect the power cord to the power outlet.  
screws.  
Do not connect more than one appliance to the  
The front must be slightly higher than the back so  
the doors will close properly.  
The leveling screws are easier to turn if you lean  
the refrigerator slightly backwards. Turn the  
leveling screws clockwise to raise the front of the  
refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower it.  
same outlet.  
If your refrigerator's power cord has 3 terminals,  
DO NOT remove the ground terminal.  
Grounding minimizes the risk of electric shock.  
This connector requires a 3-terminal power outlet.  
If the customer does not have the proper outlet,  
he must contact a qualified electrician to have the  
proper outlet installed.  
5. Install the refrigerator in a place where the  
temperature is between 50° F (10°C) and 104° F  
(40°C). If the temperature is higher or lower, the  
cooling performance of the appliance can be  
diminished.  
5. Before using your refrigerator, let it run for 2 or 3  
hours.  
Verify the cold air flow at the freezer to ensure  
proper cooling. Now your refrigerator is ready to  
use.

OPERATION  
START UP  
When your refrigerator is installed or relocated, let it stand for an hour before starting it.  
Then let it run for 2 or 3 hours to stabilize the internal temperature before filling it with food.  
If power is interrupted, allow 5 minutes to pass before restarting.  
BEFORE CONFIGURING THE TEMPERATURE  
i This refrigerator has a temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and a selector  
for the freezer compartment.  
i · The basic configuration for the refrigerator's temperature control is in the middle; that is, the first  
three LEDs are turned on.  
i The basic configuration of the temperature selector at the freezer compartment is “4.  
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT CONTROL  
i You can adjust the refrigerator compartment's temperature using the  
Ref. Temp Control button. Each time you press the button, one LED  
should illuminate until it reaches Max. Continuing to press this button  
will continue to cycle through all settings from Minto Max and around again.  
i The refrigerator compartment's temperature is indicated by the number of  
LEDs illuminated, from Minto Max. Minis warmer and Max is cooler.  
i You can select the desired temperature with this control.  
i To conserve energy, set the control to Min. (first LED on)  
FREEZER COMPARTMENT CONTROL*  
i COLD AIR CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9  
By placing the selector on 9, the freezer will be colder but the food stored  
in the refrigerator compartment will cool more slowly because of the  
diminishing air flow.  
i In cold weather, the compressor's running time is reduced and the  
freezer compartment tends to be a little warmer.  
To keep the freezer colder, set the TEMP CONTROL between 6 and 9.  
i· If there is much food stored in the freezer or the door is opened  
frequently, its temperature will be a little bit warmer.  
In this case, set the TEMP. CONTROL between 6 and 9 to make it colder.  
Set the TEMP. CONTROL to its original position to reduce the energy  
consumption.  
i In hot weather, or when much food is stored in the refrigerator, it tends to be a little bit warmer.  
iTo make it cooler, turn the TEMP. CONTROL between 2 and 4 to direct more air to the refrigerator and  
place the REF. TEMP. CONTROL at the MAX position. If the TEMP. CONTROL is sebetween 6 and 9  
at the freezer compartment, the refrigerator will cool very slowly.

OPERATION  
SELF-DIAGNOSIS  
i The electronic control system includes a self-diagnostic mode. When an error is detected, it is  
is displayed on the control box LEDs. It is not possible to adjust the controls while an error message  
is displayed.  
i When this happens, do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet and call a service center  
immediately.  
ICE MAKING -TWISTING TYPE-  
iTo make ice cubes, fill the trays with water and insert them on their  
position.  
iTo remove the ice cubes, twist the tray’s knob and the cubes will fall into  
the ice bank instantly.  
iYou can detach the “Twist’n Serve” to increase the freezer’s storage  
capacity. First take out the ice trays and the cube box, then pull the frame  
to the right side.  
DOOR BASKET COOLING  
(Some models)  
iThe cold air flow from the door makes the cooling of the beverages placed  
on the door baskets faster and more efficient.  
iWhen new food is placed in the door basket, the cooling time decreases due  
to the cold air flow in this area.  
iWhen water or other strange object gets into the air flow area when  
cleaning or any other moment, the cooling performance drops down. Also,  
performance can be lowered by air leakages due to door gasket damage.  
FRESH MEAT TRAY  
iWhen the door is opened, the warm air does not affect the fresh  
meat located inside the tray. Consequently, food can be kept  
fresher for longer time.  
iThe fresh meat tray and shelf must be placed in the correct position.  
If they are moved, they won't serve their purpose.  
iWhen water or other strange object gets into the air flow area, the  
cooling performance drops down.  
DEFROSTING  
iDefrost is carried out automatically.  
iThe water generated during the defrosting flows down to the drip tray located  
at the back part of the refrigerator and its evaporated automatically.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE  
STORING FOOD  
iStore fresh food in the refrigerator and the freezer. Defrosting is an important factor in preserving  
freshness and flavor.  
iDo not store food that can decompose under low temperatures such as bananas, melons or pineapple.  
iAllow hot food to cool before storing it. Placing hot food in the refrigerator damages other food  
and increases energy consumption.  
iWhen storing food, wrap it with vinyl film or store it in closed containers. This prevents food moisture  
from evaporating and keeps food fresh.  
iDo not obstruct the cold air outlets with food. The cold air flow keeps the refrigerator temperature even.  
iDo not open the door frequently. Opening the door allows hot air into the refrigerator, raising the  
temperature.  
iTo adjust the temperature controls easily, keep the area near the controls clear.  
FREEZER  
iDo not store glass bottles in the freezer - they can break when frozen.  
iDo not freeze food that has been already thawed. They may lose their nutritional properties.  
iWhen storing frozen food for a long period, such as ice cream, place it on the shelves and not in  
the door baskets.  
REFRIGERATOR  
iAvoid storing high humidity foods at the back of the refrigerator. They could freeze in contact with  
the cold air. Store in a closed container instead.  
iAlways clean food before refrigerating it. Fruits and vegetables should be washed and dried.  
Packaged food should be dried to avoid contaminating adjacent items.  
iStore eggs on the highest shelf in the refrigerator.  
i If the refrigerator is placed in a hot and humid place, it’s door is opened  
frequently, or if many vegetables are stored in it; dew may form on the  
inside walls of the refrigerator. This does not affect its performance. Just  
remove the dew with a dustfree cloth.

ANTI-CONDENSATION  
PIPE  
POWER FAILURE  
Anti-Condensation  
Most power failures are fixed within one or two hours  
and won’t affect your refrigerator’s temperatures.  
However, you should minimize the door openings  
while the power is out.  
During long term power breakdowns place an EPS  
bar over your stored food, this will help to keep them  
fresh for longer time.  
Pipe  
The outside of the  
refrigerator may become  
hot, especially immediately  
after installation and  
start-up.This is normal.  
It is caused by the anti-  
condensation pipe which  
pumps hot refrigerant  
to prevent condensation  
on the outer cabinet.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS  
ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD  
In the event of a short circuit, the ground  
connection reduces the risk of electric shock  
while providing an escape line for electric current.  
Do not connect any other appliance in the same  
plug of the refrigerator, if many appliances are  
connected the wires might be overloaded,  
increasing the risk of voltage variation and  
improper operation.  
Prevent  
a
possible electric shock, this  
appliance must be grounded.  
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT  
If the power cord gets damaged, you must replace  
it for a new one available with the manufacturer or  
its service agent.  
The wrong use of the plug’s earth terminal can  
result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified  
electrician or service person if the grounding  
instructions are not fully understood, or if you  
have any doubts about if your appliance is  
properly grounded.  
DANGER  
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT  
An empty refrigerator can be a very dangerous  
attraction for children. Before you throw away  
your old refrigerator or freezer, please take off  
the doors and leave the shelves in place so  
that children may not easily climb inside.
