2.3 THERMOSTAT
2.5 ENERGY SAVING TIPS
2.4 STARTING
• Setting “O”: Unit O
Setting “Min”: Less Cool Temperature
Setting “Med”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
Setting “Max”: Coolest Temperature
• During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the
thermostat to the coolest setting/position (“Max”). This may cause the compressor to run
continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.
• THE FIRST TIME YOU INSTALL YOUR REFRIGERATOR, SET THE THERMOSTAT KNOB AT “MED”. Give your
refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before
adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat control knob is set
to OFF, the refrigerator will not be running.
The instructions above are for reference only. The actual conguration
will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.
• 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 storing in the refrigerator. 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. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less ecient.
• 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.
• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to a power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods inside the refrigerator, wait 2 – 3 hours, or more than 4 hours
in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Leave enough space to conveniently open the refrigerator doors and drawers.

4.1 OVERALL CLEANING
4.2 DEFROSTING
4.3 OUT OF OPERATION
• Dust behind the refrigerator and the oor shall be cleaned once a month to improve the cooling eect
and save energy. The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Soft towels
or sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The
freezer should be cleaned with clean water and a dry cloth. Open the door to air dry before the power
is turned on.
• 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 clean
refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior.
• Do not rinse with water so as not to aect the electrical insulation properties.
The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has an automatic defrosting
function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by
disconnection of the appliance from the power supply or by wiping down with a dry towel.
• POWER FAILURE: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be
kept for several hours; during a power failure, avoid opening the door unless necessary. During this
time, do not add additional food to the refrigerator.
• LONG-TIME NON-USE: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned per the instructions listed
above, and the doors are to be left open to prevent odor.
• MOVING: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, secure the glass shelves,
vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close
the doors and seal them with tape. When moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or
horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.
The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of
the appliance shall not be interrupted; otherwise, the service life may be impaired.

• Food has been in the unit too long (rotten food)
• Defrost and clean the unit
• Keep an open box of baking soda inside the refrigerator to help eliminate
odors
LONG-TIME
OPERATION OF THE
COMPRESSOR
• It is normal for the unit to operate for a long time in summer when the
ambient temperature is higher
• It is not suggested to store too much food in the unit at the
same time
• Let food cool before storing in the unit
• The doors are opened too frequently
LIGHT FAILS TO

OVERFLOWS
• There is too much food in the chamber or stored food contains too much
water, resulting in heavy defrosting
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and
increased water due to defrosting
HOT HOUSING
• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing is normal
• When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of
too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound
ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
SURFACE
CONDENSATION
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is
normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Wipe the condensation with a
clean towel.
ABNORMAL NOISE
• Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzing during operation
and the buzzing noise is particularly loud upon start or stop. This
is normal.
• Creak: Refrigerant owing inside of the appliance may produce creaking,
