• Allow at least 5cm of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator to allow
proper air ventilation. Insufficient space will result in cooling and working life issue and
voiding warranty.
• Place the refrigerator on a leveled/even floor surface that is strong enough to support the
weight of the refrigerator when it is fully loaded to prevent vibrations.
• Place the refrigerator on a concrete, tile floor or waterproof floor is recommended. The
fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture, it might cause water
damage in some extreme circumstances.
• The front feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust the two front feet to
keep the refrigerator leveled or elevated.
• Situate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of direct heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may cause
an increase power consumption.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation.
• Avoid situating the refrigerator in moist OR pest infestation areas.
• Plug the refrigerator into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool
down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the refrigerator.
• Do not place heavy items on the top of this appliance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the
refrigerator forces the compressor to work harder. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

to cool down completely pending on operating
conditions.
Freezer is too cold and
refrigerator is too warm
➢ Change freezer air flow setting to min position
➢ The fridge might need a manual defrost due to too
much moisture went into the freezer part and
blocked the air channel.
To do so,
Keep food in a container with ice bag or another
fridge if it is available.
Keep both doors opening and unplug the power
cord for 24 hours.
Then turn on the unit and it will work properly
again.
Temperature inside the
refrigerator is too warm.
➢ Temperature control is set incorrectly. Turn the control
to a cooler setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
➢ Change freezer air flow setting to min position.
➢ Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently.
Warm air enters the refrigerator every time the door is
opened). Open the door less often.
➢ The door is not closed completely.

6
Temperature inside the
refrigerator is too cold.
➢ Freezer control incorrectly set. Set back to mid position.
➢ Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a
warmer setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
Temperature of external
refrigerator side walls are
warm.
➢ The exterior refrigerator walls can be as much as 15-20
degrees warmer than room temperature.
This is normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet to the condenser
behind the refrigerator side walls.
Popping or cracking sound
when compressor comes on.
➢ Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in
hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or
disappear as refrigerator continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound,
like water boiling.
➢ Refrigerant (used to cool refrigerator) is circulating
throughout the system. This is normal operation.
Vibrations.
➢ Check the refrigerator is on a level/even surface.

under part of the refrigerator.
➢ The refrigerator is touching the wall. Re-level the
refrigerator and move it from the wall. See “Installation
Instructions”.
Moisture forms on inside
refrigerator walls.
➢ Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate
of frost build-up. This is normal.
➢ Door is slightly open.
➢ Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently.
Open the door less often.
➢ The door is not sealed properly.
Moisture forms on outside
of refrigerator.
➢ Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the
refrigerator to meet warm moist air from the outside.
