TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY (01) PDF Document

To properly install your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY refrigerator, follow these steps:

1. Level the Refrigerator: Install your refrigerator on a strong and level floor. Turn the adjustable leg to stabilize the refrigerator horizontally. The right side adjustable leg can be adjusted up and down. Turn the adjustable leg clockwise to raise the refrigerator, or counter-clockwise to lower it. This secures the stability of the refrigerator to float a caster.

2. Choose a Location: Avoid any humid or wet places, like near a kitchen sink, to prevent corrosion or electric leakage. If you must install it directly on the ground, place a board underneath the refrigerator to prevent damage.

3. Avoid Heat Sources: Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, a gas range, or a heater. Placing it near a heat source can reduce its cooling effect and may lead to failure.

4. Provide Adequate Space: Select a well-ventilated location. Ensure there is at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) of space at the top, 10 cm (4 inches) at the rear, and 4 cm (1.6 inches) on the left and right sides for proper air circulation.

5. Ensure Rear Clearance: Fix the drain evaporator pan stopper into its position to ensure proper clearance between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall.

When moving and transporting your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY:

1. First, remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. Place a large piece of cloth under the refrigerator. Lean the refrigerator backward to remove water from the drain pan.

3. When carrying, hold the refrigerator at the front lower side and the rear upper side. Never hold it by the door or the handle.

4. Always lift from the bottom of the refrigerator when moving.

5. Do not lay the refrigerator on its side, as this may cause a malfunction.

After disconnecting the plug from the outlet, you should wait at least 7 minutes before reconnecting it. If reconnected too quickly, the compressor may not run properly and may produce a rattling noise.

To get the most efficient use of energy for your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY, follow these guidelines:

1. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

2. Set the interior parts such as shelves, crisper, and pockets to their original positions as mentioned in the instruction booklet.

3. Leave adequate space around the refrigerator: at least 10 cm (4 inches) at the top, 7.5 cm (3 inches) at the rear, and 4 cm (1.6 inches) on the left and right sides.

4. Use the refrigerator in a cool place.

5. Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, a gas range, or a heater.

6. Do not obstruct the cool air circulation outlet and inlet with food or containers.

7. Do not put in too much food. Provide enough space for internal cool air circulation.

8. Do not set the temperature lower than needed.

9. Cool hot food before storing it.

10. Open the refrigerator door as briefly as possible.

To ensure the maximum life of your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY, periodically clean its parts. Before cleaning, be sure to pull out the refrigerator’s plug from the power socket. Be careful not to pull the cord or get it caught under the machine. Do not pour water directly on the refrigerator.

Outside Surfaces:

Polish them with a soft rag. A heavy stain should be wiped off with a rag soaked in a natural detergent. The door handle should be wiped with a dry cloth. Using a cleanser solution will cause the external finishes to change colors and scratch.

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 natural detergent.

Interior Plastic Units:

If they are stained or have any odor, the interior plastic units should be cleaned with a natural detergent. When smeared with salad oil or other cooking oil, the interior plastic unit may crack. Wipe such smears off.

To make ice using the automatic ice maker in your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY:

1. Open the water supply cap following the arrow direction.

2. Fill the water tank to the “WATER LEVEL” line and close the cap.

3. Carefully hold the tank to avoid tilting or shaking it, which can cause water to spill.

4. Push the water-filled tank inside until it stops. Ensure the tank stopper is facing you when installing the tank.

Generally, the ice maker produces 10 ice cubes within 2 hours with an outside temperature of 30°C and the door closed. Ice-making time may be longer if the door is opened frequently, a large amount of food is stored, the outside temperature is high, or if the refrigerator is operating for the first time.

For the first time use or when not in use for a week or more, throw away the first batch of ice (about 30 cubes). Only fill the tank with potable water.

To make ice using the twist ice maker in your TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY:

1. Fill the ice tray with water up to the water level line. If water exceeds this line, the ice will freeze over and be hard to remove.

2. To remove the ice, twist the ice tray as shown in the user manual’s diagram.

Generally, the ice maker produces 32 ice cubes within 2 hours with an outside temperature of 30°C and the door closed. Ice-making time may be longer if the door is opened frequently, a large amount of food is stored, the outside temperature is high, or if the refrigerator is operating for the first time.

If you are not using the automatic ice maker for a long time or are moving the TOSHIBA GR-RT735WE-PGY refrigerator, follow these steps:

1. Detach the tank and pour out all the water.

2. On the control panel, press and hold the “Fridge” and “Freezer” buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds. The LED will light up for 2 seconds. This will cause the ice maker tray to turn upside down, dropping any ice cubes into the ice box. Do not open the freezer door until the operation is finished.

3. Open the freezer and throw away the water or ice cubes inside the ice box.

4. After cleaning the freezer and the tank, dry them and reinstall.

Weekly Maintenance (Tank and Lid)

1. Pull the tank stopper upwards and detach the cover.

2. Clean the components. Do not use bleach, cleanser, hot water (the heat-resistible temperature is 60°C), a scrubbing brush, thinner, or benzene. Do not pour washed water on the water inlet valve installation area.

3. Re-install all parts. After maintenance, hang the “hook” of the cover to the inside of the tank and fasten it with the tank stopper facing you. If the cover is not completely closed, ice cannot be made.

Monthly Maintenance (Water Supply Pipe and Pump)

1. To detach, turn the water supply pipe following the arrow direction and remove it from the cap. Then, pull the pump out of the water supply pipe-A.

2. Lightly clean the water supply pipe-A, pump impeller, pump box, and pump cap with a sponge dampened with clean water.

3. To re-install, push the axle protruding from the pump into the edged hole of the water supply pipe-A. Then, insert the water supply pipe to the pipe of the cap and tighten it in the reverse direction of the arrow.
