Finding a suitable location
• This refrigerator is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or
built-in.
• The refrigerator should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall
be flat and sturdy.
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the refrigerator in moist
or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
Dimensions and Clearances
• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in the degradation of
freezing capability and increased electricity costs. Allow over 3.97 inches of clearance
from each adjacent wall when installing the appliance.
Providing a proper power supply
• Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a
AC115 V, 60 Hz
power
supply.
• Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
Start to use
• The refrigerator shall stay for half an hour before connecting power when it is firstly
started.

Leveling feet
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise
to raise the unit, clockwise to
lower it.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.
ATTENTION
After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you
put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
Tips for energy saving
• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the
ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for
longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
•

Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
•
that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable
temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
Cooling compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts
of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for
defrosting.
•
temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because
they could freeze to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the
refrigerator.
•
refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for
fresh fruit and vegetables.
Recommended Temperature
The optimal temperature setting for food storage:
• Fridge: 4 °C , Freezer: -18 °C
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts
Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should cool down first at room
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the

Power failure:
In case of a power failure, even if it is in the summer, foods inside the appliance
can be kept for several hours. Please try to reduce the amount of time you open
the door during this time in order to keep the food as fresh as possible.
Long-time nonuse:
The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned. Please leave the doors open
to prevent odor.
Moving:
partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and
tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape. During 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.
Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after-sale
service department if the issues are not solved.
Problem Possible reason
Failed operation
• Check whether the appliance is connected to power or
whether the plug is in well contact
• Check whether the voltage is too low
• Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have
tripped
Odor
• Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped
• Check whether there is any rotten food
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation
of the compressor
• Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer
• When the ambient temperature is high it is not suggestible
having too much food in the appliance at the same time
• Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance
• The doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get lit
• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply
and whether the illuminating light is damaged
• Have the light replaced by a specialist
Door can not be
properly closed
• The door is stuck by food packages.
• The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noises
•
is placed stably
• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
12
EN
Problem Possible reason
Door seal fails to be
tight
• Remove foreign matters on the door seal
• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it
with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
• There is too much food in the chamber or food stored
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,
which 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.
Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
