TRANSPORTING
Remove all packaging material before using new and adhesive tape your
freezer/refrigerator. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the
freezer/refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
Clean both the inside and outside of the unit with a cloth lukewarm soapy water.soft and
Keep the appliance upright and avoid squeezing or vibration
during transport. Avoid a slanting angle over 45 degrees during
handling. Avoid the door or top cap from being under excessive
stress when moving, otherwise it may become deformed.
5
Positioning your freezer/refrigerator
Place your in a well ventilated area away from a heat source and freezer/refrigerator
direct sunlight. Do not install the in a damp or wet location as this may cause appliance
damage to the insulation and result in leakage. Condensation may also build up on the
outer cabinet causing rust.
Use the front two adjustable feet to level the . Rotate the feet in a freezer/refrigerator
clockwise direction to raise the and anti-clockwise to lower. Ensure the unit appliance
slightly tilts backwards so that the door self-close to provide a consistent closed seal.
There should be a clearance of at least 200mm from the
top of your unit, and 50mm from either the sides of the
freezer/refrigerator (or) the back of the unit. If the appliance
is to sit flush with the cabinetry, then a 50mm clearance
must be available to allow the door to open freely and
enable the removal of baskets.
The minimum clearance recommended at each side is
5mm, if this is the case the door must sit proud of the
cabinetry by 50mm (not flush). A 5mm side clearance will
require 50mm of airspace at the back of the unit to allow for
adequate ventilation.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
Interior
Clean the appliance interior regularly. Turn power off. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth
and lukewarm soapy water. Wipe away any food spills thoroughly. Dry all surfaces and
removable parts. Avoid getting water on the controls. If you have taken out any
removable parts, replace them and switch on the power before re-stocking the
freezer/refrigerator.
Exterior
Clean the appliance with only lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Door seal
Take care to keep the door seal clean. Sticky food and drink can cause the seal to stick
to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash the seal with a mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then remove the power
cord from the outlet. This will make sure there is no chance of electric shock.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Please check the points below after maintenance:
(1) Is there any damage to the power lead?
(2) Can the power plug be inserted into the power socket correctly?
(3) Is the power plug and/or lead heating up?

Reduce opening the door frequently. This will increase the appliance efficien and cy
reduce power consumption.
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 unit.
There should always be some space between food items for proper air circulation.
Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the
interior temperature and power consumption will increase.
Adjust the temperature control to a setting that is acceptable for the storage of the
food. This will reduce the power consumption.

and that the outlet is switched “ON”.
· Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is
coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a
circuit of your household power supply.
· Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
Unusual noise
· The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause
gurgling, similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the
appliance.
· Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water
pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as appliance
continues to run.
· I appliance t is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the
starts operating.
· Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take
action. For example, noises may mean that:
- The cabinet is not level.
- The floor is uneven or weak.
There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside
the appliance.
- The back of the unit cabinet is touching the wall.
Compressor seems to run
more than expected
· Is door kept open too long or too often?
· Is control set too cold?
· Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored?
· If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to
run more than normal.
· The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or
when it has been turned off for a long time.
Temperature in the
freezer/refrigerator is too warm
· Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back
and top. Refer to installation instruction on page 5.
· Controlling the temperature 8Refer to “ ” on page .
· You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
· Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
