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 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 wine cooler and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.

Interior Accessories

Various glass or plastic storage shelves are included with your appliance – different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full-size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position. To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swiveled upwards or downwards and removed.

Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
In order to make the most of the volume of the fresh-food storage compartment and frozen-food storage compartment, the user can remove one or more shelves, drawers, out of the appliance, according to your daily use.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Drawers, food boxes, shelves, etc. placed according to the position in the picture above are the most energy efficient.

The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor

OPERATION

Switching On Your Unit

• Setting“Off”: UnitOff
• 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 to run 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 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.

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.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fish should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fish to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fish in a container that 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 the transfer of favors 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 it in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air from 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 them with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial 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.

Failure of power or tripping circuit

---|---

Odor

| Odorous foods should be closely wrapped; Whether foods are rotien;

Whether the interior shall be cleaned.

Long-term operation of the compressor

| It is normal that refrigerator operates for longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher;

Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time; Do not put foods until they are cooled;

Frequent opening of the refrigerator door.

Illuminating light does not

shine

| Whether the refrigerator is connected to power,

whether the illuminating light is damaged.

Whether the refrigerator parts are properly placed.

Warm tips:

• The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon.
• Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior 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 the compressor especially when starting up or shutting down.

FOR ENERGY SAVING

Warning for energy

1. 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.
