For power plug and cord...

●

Periodically wipe the power plug with a dry cloth. (Dust

accumulated on the plug of a refrigerator that operates

continuously leads to reduced insulation due to moisture

and may cause ﬁre.)

●

Plug into a wall outlet of the rated voltage on its own with

the rated current and insert plug fully.

●

Connect to an exclusive wall outlet for the refrigerator

only. Avoid connecting other appliances to the same wall

outlet. Unroll entire length of the cord before plugging in.

●

Unplug the unit when cleaning the refrigerator.

●

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiﬁed

persons in order to avoid a hazard.

●

Please ensure minimum clearance of 10 cm for air

ventilation and prevent damage to the power cord.

Caution for using

ARAH1E200680_EN.indd 7 8/14/19 10:03 AM

Installation

Is the refrigerator installed in the

following locations?

●Locations subject to heat

and direct sunlight

(The cooling power will be

reduced and electricity

wasted.)

●Poorly ventilated locations

with high humidity

(Rust will be caused.)

●Locations where the surface

is unstable and slanted

On carpet, mats, or vinyl ﬂoors, place a

plate underneath the refrigerator.

●Locations not allowing the power plug to be

cleaned easily

(Dust accumulated may cause a ﬁre.)

Has a heat radiating space been provided

around the refrigerator?

3 cm or more

both left and right

5 cm or more

at the back of

the refrigerator

8.6 cm or more

above the

refrigerator

For safety, the grounding connection should be done

(For a refrigerator with plug (2-pin plug) without any grounding wire)

The grounding connection will allow prevention of danger resulted from electricity leakage.

The grounding connection can be performed in 2 ways as follows:

●In the case that the grounding receptacle has been

prepared for the socket (plug socket), connect the

grounding wire to the screw used for grounding

connection at the bottom rear of the refrigerator

(regarding the screw used for grounding connection,

please notice the symbol) as shown in the

illustration 1.

●In the case that the socket (plug socket) has not

been provided with any grounding receptacle,

connect the grounding wire to the screw at the

bottom of the refrigerator, (as regard to the screw

used for grounding connection, please notice the

symbol). And then connect the other end to the

grounding rod as shown in the illustration 2.

Prohibited spots for grounding connection

●Water supply pipes and gas pipes (dangers from electric shock or explosion).

●The grounding wires of telephone cords and lightning rods (dangers from lightning).

Installation

Do not peel the seal on the back.

Otherwise, the cooling

performance may

deteriorate. If you have

peeled it, then cut a

cloth packing tape into

a square and paste it

onto the refrigerator.

Requests and notices

Refrigerator doors should not be opened

during the interior cooling process.

The doors should not be

opened until the interior

has been cooled down

sufﬁciently. (Warm air

ﬂowing into the interior

will block the cooling

function.)

Please wait until the interior has cooled

down.

●It may take approximately four hours to

cool down the interior.

●It may take 24 hours or more to

cool down the interior and achieve

equilibrium in the summer, etc.

Have any measures taken

against tipping due to

earthquakes?

In order to prevent the

refrigerator from tipping,

permanently ﬁx it by using

belts, etc.

Fix the refrigerator.

Turn the adjuster

bolts (right and left)

until they reach the

ﬂoor to stabilize the

refrigerator.

If the door is slanted downwards.

Turn the adjuster bolt on the lower side, as

shown in the diagram, in order to adjust the

level.

●The freezer/refrigerator doors may tilt

within four to ﬁve days after installation

due to the load of the food or adaptation

to the ﬂoor surface, turn the corresponding

adjuster bolt with the dedicated tool to

adjust and level the door again to restore.

Seal

When the door is lowered.

Lower the right

adjuster bolt for

the right door.

Lower the left

SPECIAL FEATURE

●NON-FLON

This unit uses totally NON-FLON MATERIALS both for refrigerant (iso-butane (R600a))

and for insulation (Cyclo-Pentane). These materials do not damage the earths ozone

layer and has almost no effect on global warming.

●INVERTER

In accordance with temperature change inside the compartment, the motor will run at

different speeds. When the temperature inside the refrigerator is stable, the motor will run

at a lower speed to save energy and lower noise.

When powerful cooling is required, the motor will run at a higher speed.
