· Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly
and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation
to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by
damage to the cooler elements, move your fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the
room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
USE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The freezer is controlled with a temperature control knob located inside the appliance. Adjust the control
knob as desired to suit your individual preference. There are three different setting, with MIN being the
warmest and MAX the coldest.
· The running time and temperature are affected by where the freezer is located, how
often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in.
· When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control
knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored,
and then readjust to the middle setting.
