• INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• VENTILATION CONDITION

The position you select for the refrigerator installation should be well-ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat

source such as cooker, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not

locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of the refrigerant

charge amount of the refrigerator being divided by the total space of the room in which the refrigerator is installed shall be less than 8g/ m³.

NOTE: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.

• HEAT DISSIPATION SPACE

When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to the surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of free space should be spared at the top side,

 morethan100mmonbothsides,andabove50mmatthebacksideoftherefrigerator.

2. CLEANING

3. POWER-ON

Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the refrigerator door, if the temperature inside the refrigerator

compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.

4. STORAGE OF FOOD

After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the refrigerator will be automatically controlled according to the user’s

temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature

is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled. Open the refrigerator door as little as possible before the internal temperature cools

down.

• NOTE: If the refrigerator is installed where there is high humidity, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal.

If vibration noises are produced due to the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor,

movetherefrigeratorawayfromthewall.Settinguptherefrigeratormaycausejammingnoiseorimagechaostomobilephones,xed-line
