The temperature of refrigerator can be controlled
manually by the knob. However, the number
shown on the knob does not directly represent the

the lower the interior temperature will be. 0
stands for off. Turn the knob to state 4 when it is
normal used, turn it to the state during 4-7 if a
lower interior temperature is required; contrarily,
to the state during 4-1, when a higher one is
needed.
□
Turn off the refrigerator and unplug from the
outlet.

Remove all food and securely tape down all loose
items inside.
□
Tape the door shut.

items inside for air circulation.
□
Food should be kept in sealed containers to

the appliance. Defrost the freezer section whenever the frost reaches a thickness of ¼".
When a power failure occurs, the refrigerator can normally store food for several hours. Do not put additional
food into the appliance during a power failure, and do not open 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
