General

This type of refrigerator is widely used in places such as hotels, offices, student dormitories, and houses.
It is mostly suitable for refrigerating and preserving foods such as fruits and beverages. It enjoys the advantages of small size, Lightweight, Low electric consumption, and easy use.

Instructions for Installation

• Do not tilt the refrigerator for more than 450 forms upright during moving it. And do not apply force on any part such as the condenser and door to prevent the refrigerator from deforming, or else it will influence its performance.
• Let the refrigerator have enough space to work well.
• Don’t install it in high-temperature or humidity places so as to avoid being damaged, dampened, and rusted.

Cautions for Safety

1. Before the refrigerator is plugged in check in the electric voltage to be used fit is the same as the rated voltage. The power plug should have its independent socket, the adapter may cause the socket to overheat.
2. Don’t store inflammable materials such as ether, benzine, LP gas and glue etc in the refrigerator.
3. Don’t splash water on the refrigerator, it may arouse malfunction or electric shock.
4. When gas leaks from its container. Don’t pull the plug out or in. it may arose sparks and fire calamities.

Instructions for Use

1. When operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it without loading any food until it autos tops at the desired temperature. Usually, it takes 2 or 3 hours, then set the thermostatic dial at the setting desired and put foods in the refrigerator.
2. The temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted by turning the thermostatic dial. A medium setting of the thermostatic dial is the most suitable for general operation.
3. Defrost the freezing compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting remove all food and set the thermostat at the “OFF” position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. After the frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of the refrigerator.  The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired setting.

Cautions for Use

1. The more foodstuff put in or the more and the longer for once the door is opened, the more it needs electric consumption, which even leads to malfunction.
2. Better not to place objects which are too heavy, pointed, or corrosion on the table board.
3. Re-plugging in the power plug at intervals of over ten minutes.
4. Don’t store the bottled drinks in the freezer, so as to prevent them from being broken and damaging the refrigerator.
5. Open the door as less as possible during power-cut.
6. When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will damage the evaporator.
7. Don’t touch foods and containers in the freezing compartment with your wet hands so as to prevent being frostbitten.

Maintenance

1. While cleaning the refrigerator. pull out the electric power plug, rub carefully with a piece of cloth soaked with natural cleanser then wipe with clean water. The abrasive cleaning power, alkali cleansers, chemical cloth, thinner, alcohol, acid petroleum product, and hot water are not suitable for cleaning the refrigerator, they may damage the painting cover and plastics.
2. The door gasket is dirty and fogged easily, so clean it frequently.
3. If the refrigerator is out of use for a long time, please pull out the plug, clean and dry the freezing compartment then close the door tightly.

The following cases are not malfunction

1. A flowing water sound:
   Flowing water sound will be heard under normal operation.

2. Outside condensation:
   Outside condensation is normal in high humidity conditions. You may just wipe it up yourself.

3. It takes some time for the temperature of the freezer and refrigerator compartments to become cold after the refrigerator starts to operate: If the temperature of the two compartments is higher while the refrigerator is operating, it takes some time for the temperature of the two compartments to become cold. If the environmental temperature is higher, it takes a long time to make the compartments become cold.

4. The surface of the compressor becomes hot:
   The surface of the compressor may become hot under normal operation. Don’t touch it with your hands.

For household refrigerating appliances

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind closing it as soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• For household refrigerating appliances, in normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat in the middle setting.
• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh
• foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always
• clean and free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider instructions stated in the sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise, the energy consumption is substantially higher.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
