INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before using the refrigerator r the first
time, remove all of the packing materials,
including the foam base and adhesive tape
holding accessories in place.
2. The refrigerator should be located on a firm,
flat suace that is strong enough to suppo
the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
3. Choose a location that is not exposed to
direct sunlight, high temperatures, heat
sources such as a stove or radiator, or in a
moist area. Do not choose a location where
the temperature will change dramatically as
this could cause the refrigerator to not
function properly.
4. Leave a minimum of 50mm between each
side of the appliance and the wall. The top
of the appliance should have a minimum of
100mm clearance. This allows for proper air
circulation. This appliance is intended to be
free-standing and should not be built-in or
placed in a recessed area.
5. The refrigerator legs must be adjusted
during installation in order to function
properly. The leveling legs on the front
corners can be adjusted by turning clockwise
to raise the appliance, and counter-clockwise
to lower it. Be sure to have the appliance
slope slightly backward to ensure that the
door closes tightly.
0 It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply;
the plug must therefore be easily accessible aer installation.
Electrical Connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power
supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power
supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance
with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician. The manufacturer declines
all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
First Use
•
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the
finish.
•
When first starting up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the
compartment let the appliance run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer
when the ambient temperature is high to make sure it is working properly and to allow
it time to fall to the correct temperature.
Freezer Compartment
•
The low temperature freezing compartment may keep food fresh for a longer period
and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice.
•
Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for quick freezing and
easy access.
Refrigerating Compartment
• The refrigerating compartment is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits,
vegetables, beverages and other food consumed in the short term.
• Cooked foods shall not be put in the refrigerating compartment until cooled to room
temperature.
0 o
Do not overfilled the refrigerator or freezer.
o Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
o Do not store objects which are costly or subject to temperature variations.
e.g. medication or chemicals.
o Food should be kept in sealed packaging to avoid becoming dry or spoil.
o There should always be some space between items inside for air
circulation.
o
P
lease be noted food shall be consumed within the shelve time.
• The refrigerating compartment is suitable for
storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages
and other food consumed in the short term.
• Cooked foods shall not be put in the refrigerating
compartment until cooled to room temperature.
• The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the glass shelves can be
positioned as desired.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
Defrosting
Cleaning
The refrigerator
/
freezer is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has an
automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to man-made or temperature
ch
anges can also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from the
power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.
• Dusts behind the refrigerator
/
freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to
improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door
gasket with a so cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all ods, shelves,
drawers, etc.
• Use a so cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the freezer, with two tablespoons of
baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. Aer
cleaning, open the door and let ii dry naturally bere turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator
/
freezer (such as narrow gaps
or corners), ii is recommended to wipe them regularly with a so rag, so brush, etc.
and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to
ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause
odors in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
• Clean the shelves and drawers with a so cloth dampened with soapy water or
diluted detergent. Dry with a so cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer suace of the refrigerator
/
freezer with a so cloth dampened with
soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as
toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling
water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge suace and interior.
Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic
parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits
or aect electrical insulation aer immersion.
Energy Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading
the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. 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
appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• 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.
12
MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
Power Failure
When a power failure occurs, the refrigerator
/
freezer can normally store food for
several hours. Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power failure,
and do not operate door. Disconnect the plug from the outlet, and reconnect when the
power has been restored. Always inspect for, and discard, any spoiled or thawed food
in the refrigerator before resuming use of the appliance.
Vacation
Before leaving on any vacation, remove food that could spoil while you are gone. If
you plan to be gone for an extended period of time, we recommend that all of the food
should be removed from the appliance and it should be turned o and unplugged from
the outlet. Clean the interior according to the directions provided in the CLEANING
section of this manual, and leave the door open.
Moving the re
f
rigerator
/f
reezer
• Turn o the refrigerator
/
freezer and unplug from the outlet.
• Remove all food; securely tape down all loose items inside.
• Tape the door shut.
• When moving, the appliance cannot be tilted over 45 degrees as
possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
