4. OPERATION
4.1 Switching On Your Unit
Setting “Off”: Unit Off
Setting “Min”: Less Cool Temperature
Setting “Med” or “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
“Med”. 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. When the thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the
refrigerator will not be running.
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
♦ Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container
which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the
container on the lowest shelf.
♦ 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. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
♦ 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.

♦ 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 bacteria ls
accumulation in these areas.
♦ Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may

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.
