3.4 Initial Cleaning and Operation
Before storing food, clean the interior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. After cleaning, plug in the refrigerator and allow it to operate for 2-3 hours to reach its optimal cooling temperature before loading food items.
4. Operating
4.1 Temperature Control
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Digital Inverter Compressor that offers 7 adjustable speeds to meet your cooling requirements efficiently. Use the temperature control dial or buttons (location may vary) to set the desired temperature for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Refer to the internal labels for recommended settings.
4.2 Storage Features
- Moist Fresh Zone: This specially designed drawer regulates moisture levels to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.
- Easy Slide Out Shelf: The glass shelves are designed to slide out smoothly, providing easy access to items stored at the back.
- Dairy Guard: A dedicated compartment for dairy products, helping to prevent spoilage and spills.
- Big Guard: Store large bottles and containers conveniently in the door pockets.
- Deodorizing Filter: An activated carbon filter circulates fresh air, preserving the flavor of your food by preventing bad odors.
- Twist Ice Maker: Located in the freezer compartment for convenient ice production.
- Cool Pack: In the event of a power cut, the Cool Pack maintains optimum cooling throughout the refrigerator for up to 8 hours, keeping your food, especially frozen items, unspoiled.
4.3 Food Storage Guidelines
- Store raw meat and fish in sealed containers on the lowest shelf to prevent dripping onto other foods.
- Wrap or cover all food items to prevent drying out and odor transfer.
- Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator to avoid increasing internal temperature.
- Do not overload the refrigerator, as this can impede air circulation and cooling efficiency.
5. Maintenance

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent. Ensure the door gaskets are clean and free of debris to maintain a tight seal.

- Open the refrigerator door only when necessary and close it promptly.
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
