A space of at least 5cm must be left at the sides and 10cm at the back of the refrigerator. Choose a location where there is no heat source. Keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight or other appliance producing heat. Choose a dry and well-ventilated place where there is no corrosive air.

TEST

Clean the parts of the refrigerator with lukewarm water on a soft cloth or with a neutral detergent and with clear water, then wipe them dry.
Notes: Electric parts of the refrigerator can only be wiped by dry cloth. Turn the thermostat knob on the “3” position and turn on electricity. The compressor and the light inside the refrigerator begin to work. Close the door and wait 30 minutes. If the temperature in the freezer compartment decreased obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well. When the refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature controller will automatically set the temperature on conditions that the door is not too often opened. If the above steps are successful, the trial operations are finished. The refrigerator works normally.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment and in the freezer compartment is controlled by the temperature controller installed on the right side of the refrigerator compartment. Turn the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature inside the refrigerator. The marks on the knob are not the exact number of the degrees of temperature but the temperature grades from “0” to “5”. The first grade corresponds to a forced STOP of the refrigeration and the 5th grade corresponds to the lowest temperature the refrigerator can produce. Turn the knob from “1”position to “5”position, the temperature decreases continuously. Set the thermostat knob to “2-3”position for a normal use.
