Important! It is necessary to have good ventilation around the refrigerator to allow for the dissipation of heat, high efficiency, and low power consumption.For this reason, sufficiently cleared space should be available around the refrigerator. It is advisable for there to be 75 mm / 3 inches separating the back of the refrigerator to the wall at least 100 mm / 4 inches of space on its two sides, a height of over 100 mm / 4 inches from its top and a clear space in front to allow the doors to open 180°.

Operation

CAUTION: Wait for 4 hours with the unit upright, before connecting the appliance to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.

Starting up and temperature regulation

Insert the plug into the electrical outlet with earth ground. The temperature selector knob is located on the side of the chiller compartment.

Setting "0" means no cooling

Turning the temperature control to "0" position stops the cooling cycle, but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator.

Turning clockwise in direction turns the cooling cycle on. If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

Setting "8" (end-stop)

Setting "8" is the coolest possible temperature setting.

Important!

Normally we advise you select setting of 3 or 4, if you want the temperature warmer or colder please turn the knob to lower or higher setting accordingly.

Raising the temperature setting can lead to the more energy efficiency. As the temperature setting is decreased, it's likely that more energy will be consumed.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a colder setting (position 6 to 8) on the temperature regulator can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop! Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

Warning: For safe food preservation, a temperature of 39 deg F or less must be maintained in the refrigerator

Defrosting Why defrosting

A frost layer may form inside the refrigerator after continuous usage. If the frost is more than 10mm (3/8 inches) thick, you should defrost.

Defrosting

Defrosting is operated manually.Before defrosting, take the food out; take the ice tray out or put it into the refrigerator chamber temporarily, then set the knob of the temperature regulator to position “0”(where the compressor will stop working) , leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolves thoroughly, and accumulates in the drip tray. Wipe off the water with soft cloth. To speed up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50 deg C / 120 deg F ) into the Chiller compartment, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to the original position.

It is not advisable to heat the Chiller compartment directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case.

It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or separate food from the containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing.
