INSTALLTION
2.1 Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat
and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a
heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it
may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may
also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use
in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 10 cm of free space is left at both
sides, 10 cm at the rear and 30 cm at the top of the unit. This will allow
cold air to circulate around the unit and improve the efficiency of the
cooling process. Right top hinge cover

2.8 Interior Accessories

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Drawers, food boxes, shelves, etc. placed according to the position in the
picture above are the most energy efficient.
All images in this instruction manual are for indication only; please refer to
your individual unit for details.
OPERATION
4.1 Switching On Your Unit
◆The temperature selector knob is located on the middle of the upper beam.
Setting“Min”: Less Cool Temperature
Setting“Mid”: Normal Operation(adequate for most situations)
Setting“Max”: Coolest Temperature
◆During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days. It may be necessary
to set the thermostat to the Coolest setting(position “Max”).This may cause
the compressor running continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in
the cabinet.
◆For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at
“Mid”.
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is
the best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the
temperature.
4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the
cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC
free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your
unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around
the system.
4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
◆ Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest drawer.
◆ Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit.
Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
◆ To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food
separately.
◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will
help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
◆ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times
you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to
put food in or take food out.
CLEANING
5.1 Defrosting
◆ Power off the refrigerator.
◆ Remove the food from the refrigerator and place it properly to prevent food
from melting.
◆ Clear the drain pipe (to use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner),
Prepare the water containers for defrosting. (pay attention to clean the
compressor compartment water draining tray, avoiding overflow to the ground).
◆ You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also
use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use plastic or wooden ice
shovel, for avoiding damage to the liner or pipe)
◆ You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the
defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water after defrosting.
◆ After defrosting, put back the foods in cabinet, and power on the
refrigerator.
5.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
◆ Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to
improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
◆ Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the
door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
◆ The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
◆ Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks
,shelves, drawers, etc.
◆ Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two
tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water
and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before
turning on the power.
◆ For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow
sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a
soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary
tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials
accumulation in these areas.
◆ Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may
cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
◆ Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with
soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
◆ Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with
soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
◆ Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives(such as
toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge surface and
interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or
damage plastic parts.
◆ Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid
short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.
5.3 Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a
change in room temperature. Wipe of any moisture residue. If the problem
continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this
is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry
towel.
◆Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up
or shutting down.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Warning for energy
- Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
- The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
- The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets;
- The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
- The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
