INSTALLATION METHOD

1. The ground should be level, solid and dry.
2. Avoid placing upside down or horizontally. The angle should be not more than 45°between the cabinet and the ground if inclination is necessary.
3. Leave a space of 30cm above the refrigerator and 5cm on either side and behind the refrigerator, otherwise air will not be able to circulate properly, reducing the freezing effect, and increasing energy consumption.
4. Place your refrigerator in a space where there is less humidity, so as to improve electronic insulation and avoid rust.
5. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat sources (stove, warmer etc.) or in direct sunlight.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR:

1. When operating the refrigerator for the first time, leave the empty refrigerator to operate until it stops, which will usually take 2-3 hours (10 hours in summer), then adjust the thermostat knob.
2. Install the accessories in the appropriate positions according to the diagram.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to between 3 and 4; insert the power plug into the socket.
4. Defrosting is needed when the frost layer on the evaporator reaches 3 – 4mm. First, disconnect from the power supply, then open the door, take out the ice tray and all food. The refrigerator will begin to defrost. Wipe and dry the evaporator after defrosting has finished. Then return the food to its place.

Attention

1. When storing food, wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in a container with a lid; this prevents odours and keeps it dry. Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
2. There should be sufficient space between each item of food; do not store too much food.
3. To save electricity, do not open the door too frequently. Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
4. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
5. If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
6. The temperature inside can be lower if take out the drip tray during performance testing.

MAINTENANCE

1. Periodical maintenance may prolong the refrigerator’s life. For safety reasons, the power cord must be disconnected before maintenance.
2. Abrasive powder, detergent powder, sodium carbonate, benzene, petrol, acid alcohol hot water etc. must not be used to clean the refrigerator; these may damage the paint coat and the plastic.
