or electric leakage in the refrigerator. If installed directly on the ground, your refrigerator will be liable to damage.
Place a board under the machine in such a case.
Installation.
Install your Toshiba Refrigerator on a strong and level floor. Turn the leveling screws and stabilize the refrigerator
horizontally.
Leave space around the refrigerator.
Select a well-ventilated place. Provide at least 10 cm (4 inches) at top and
at least 10 cm
4 cm (1.6 inches) on both sides for proper air circulation.
at least 4 cm
Use in a cool place.
Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, a gas or heated sources.
If the refrigerator is installed in direct sunlight or near a heat emitted object,
this will deteriorate the cooling system and it may malfunction.

When storing ice cream, the temperature should be set below “3”.
If the refrigerator does not seem cold enough, turn the dials toward “5”, if it seems too cold, turn the dials toward
“1”.
The above temperatures are the temperatures at the center of the freezer and refrigerator compartment
respectively.

The temperature measurements were made with a surrounding temperature of 30°C, with no food inside the
refrigerator, the door closed, and after the temperature had stabilized.
How to Make Ice
Fill the ice tray with water up to
the water level line.
If the water exceeds the water
level line, if freezes over and
becomes hard to remove.
To remove ice, twist the ice

INFORMATION
Heat Generation by the Compressor
The refrigerator compressor will generate heat during normal operation. Note that this is not a malfunction.
•
Heat on Refrigerator Walls
The condenser is built the outer shell and radiates heat into the room air. The temperature of the outer shell
may reach high temperature during normal refrigerator operation. This is not a malfunction.
•
Don’t panic! This refrigerator will ventilate the heat through the wall of both left and right sides.
And the hot tube will distribute to the front edge of the refrigerator to keep out the humidity and
prevent condensing. This will also prolong the use of the refrigerator.
Refrigerator Operation
•
When the power is first turned on or when the power comes on again after an extended power outage, the
refrigerator may run continuously for 9 to 14 hours in order to cool the entire cabinet to the normal operating
temperature. When the inside temperature has stabilized, the refrigerator will enter the automatic control mode.
Should the refrigerator run continuously under the above conditions, remember that this is not a malfunction.
CAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
The refrigerator should not be used to store chemical materials or medical products.
After removing the plug from the outlet, wait at least 7 minutes before reinserting it.
If the plug is reinserted too soon, the compressor may not run properly and may produce a rattling noise.
•
When Moving and Transporting
First remove the food.
When carrying, hold the positions shown in the diagram.
(Never hold by the door or handle.)
•
•

When Transporting while relocating
Do not lay the refrigerator on its side. Doing so may cause it to malfunction.

Door Packing
The packing on the doors will be short-lived if stains are not removed.
Occasionally, inspect the packing on the doors, and remove any stain with a cleanser solution.
Interior Plastic units
If they are stained or have any odor, the interior plastic units should be cleaned with a cleanser solution.
When smeared with salad oil or other cooking oil, the interior plastic unit may crack. Wipe such smears off.
BEFORE REQUESTING REPAIR
If you think the refrigerator is not functioning properly, please check the following points, and then consult representa-
tives of the store where you purchased it.
The refrigerator does not get cold at all.
Is the refrigerator plugged in properly ?
•
Has the fuse for your house’s electricity supply blown, or has the breaker shut off ?
•
•
Has the electricity supply been shut off ?
The refrigerator does not get cold enough.
Is the temperature control dial set to “1” ?
•
Is the refrigerator placed in direct sunlight, or near a stove or heater ?
•
•
Is the door closed properly ?
Is the door being opened and closed too frequently ? Has anything hot been placed in the refrigerator ?
•
•
•
Is the refrigerator overloaded ?
Is there sufficient air circulation around the refrigerator ?
Food in the refrigerator compartment freezes.
Is the temperature control dial set to “5” ?
•
•
Is the surrounding temperature below 5°C ?
Have you placed food with a high moisture content at the rear of the compartment, hence making it prone to
freezing ?
•
The refrigerator is noisy.
Is the floor firm and level ?
•
Have any trays or dishes been left around the refrigerator ?
•
•
Is the refrigerator unstable, or touching the wall ?
Moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator.
Sometimes moisture may form on the outside of the refrigerator, particularly when humidity is high, such as
•
during the rainy season. This is just the same as moisture forming on a glass which contains cold water, and
is not indicative of a malfunction.
If moisture forms on the refrigerator, just wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Moisture forms on the inside of the refrigerator.
Is the door being opened and closed too frequently, or left open for long periods of time ?
•
•
Has food with a high moisture content been left uncovered in the refrigerator ?
