INSTALLATION

Choose a dry and well-ventilated place where there is no corrosive air. In order to improve efficiency of the cooling system and save energy, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation around the appliance for the dissipation of heat. For this reason, sufficient clear space should be available around the refrigerator.

Ventilation condition

Make sure the refrigerator is placed in an area with adequate ventilation and is not exposed to hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat source such as cooker, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking electricity.

Heat dissipation space

When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.

Leveling the appliance

If the appliance is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause the appliance to work incorrectly. Once the appliance is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the appliance with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the shelf (shelves) in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the appliance.

Before plugging in

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the appliance.

Before switching on

DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE APPLIANCE. The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.

Before filling your appliance

Before storing foods in your appliance, turn the appliance on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow the appliance to fall to the correct temperature.

START

Testing

Clean the parts of the appliance with lukewarm water containing a little neutral detergent and with clear water, and wipe them dry. Notes: Electric parts of the appliance can only be wiped by dry cloth.

1. Remark: turn the temperature control dial to position “4” to turn on the electricity. The compressor begins to work.
2. Open the door 30 minutes later, if the temperature in the refrigerator decreases obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well.

Temperature control dial

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the temperature control dial. The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.

• 1 is the warmest setting.
• 7 is the coldest setting.
• Set the dial to OFF to turn off the cooling function. Under the normal operating condition (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set the temperature
  at 4. In summer when the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended to set temperature at 3-4 so as to guarantee the temperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuous running time; and in winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set temperature at 5-6 to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerator. Notes: The temperatures may vary with respect to setting ones due to compressor cycles and outside conditions.

Note: the temperature will impact the storage time of food. Set the temperature as necessary. Warmer will accelerate food spoilage and colder will freeze food bad. Thus, food to be wasted.

STORAGE OF FOOD

Your appliance has the accessories as the “Structure illustration” showed in general, with this part instruction you can have the right way to storage your food. Note: Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight plastic boxes.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh food care for best results:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in color or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odor transfer. Vegetables and fruit don’t need to be wrapped.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong Odors.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
• Proper place should be left instead of too crowded during food storage.

Tips:
Take extra care with meat and fish Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.

Leave space around food This allows cold air to circulate around, ensuring all parts of the appliance are kept cool.

Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the appliance. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the appliance from rising. Keep for only 1-2 days.

Shut the door To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the times you open the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your appliance before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out. Where to store your foods in the appliance

Cool area This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses e.g. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, e.g. butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and lard. Coldest area This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:

• Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
• Pre-cooked chilled foods, e.g. ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
• Pre-cooked meats e.g. ham.
• Prepared salads (including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc.).
• Desserts, e.g. fromager frais and cream cakes.

Home-prepared food and leftovers. Most pre-packed foods have a recommended `use by /best before/best by/’ date stamped on them. Store them in the appliance and use within the recommended time.

SWITCHING OFF YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to prevent mould on the appliance.

1. Remove all food;
2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket;
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly;
4. Ensure that the door is wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU FOLLOW THE TIPS BELOW TO SAVE ENERGY

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc.)
• Don’t set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don’t store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. The shelf (shelves) should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towelling, because this will interfere with the cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient so as to cause food spoilage.

DEFROSTING

After the refrigerator has been working for a period of time, frost may form on the surface of the evaporator, thus affecting the cooling effect and increasing electricity consumption. When the frost is too thick, defrosting should be carried out. Cut off the power and open the refrigerator door to let the temperature inside rise naturally. Once the accumulated frost melts, the water will drip onto the drip tray. Please pour out the water from the drip tray promptly. Use a dry cloth to wipe off the remaining icy water. Plug in and turn on the appliance.

SERVICING

• This product should be serviced by an authorized engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
• Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact the local store where your purchase was made. When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

CHANGING THE LAMP

The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for lighting, which features low energy consumption and long service life. In case of any abnormality, please contact the after-sales personnel for visiting service. The LED lamps can only be replaced by the after-sales personnel.
