Preparation
Unpacking
Remove all packing materials.

Check attachments and materials
Checking should be conducted with reference to the Packing List. Contact the local distributor if discrepancies are found.

Ensure proper location of the refrigerator.
Make sure the refrigerator is kept upright during handling. If an inclination is required, it should not exceed 45 degrees. Otherwise the appliance may get damaged resulting not only in compromised refrigeration performance. To avoid product damage or personal injury, the refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is located in a previously selected position. Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no visible exterior damage. When handling the refrigerator, do not lift it by holding the worktop, to prevent any damage to the refrigerator. *Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.

Clean the refrigerator before use.
(See the following section “Cleaning”)

Idle time
After the refrigerator has been sited and cleaned, let it stand for more than 30 minutes before connecting the power source

Operation

Starting the refrigerator T

After connecting to the power supply, turn the temperature controller clockwise from position 0 to any position between 1 and 7 to start the refrigerator. The refrigerator compressor will stop when the temperature controller is at position 0.

Adjusting the temperature:
The temperature inside the refrigerator is adjusted by turning the temperature controller. Positions 1 to 7 represent different temperatures from the lowest to the highest.

Caution: Some time will be required for the refrigerator to reach the set level when temperature adjustments are made. The length of this period is determined by difference in the existing and set temperatures, the ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and closed and the amount of food in storage.

Loading the refrigerator with food
When the refrigerator is switched on, do not load food until 1~2 hours have passed. Usually, food for cold storage or deep freezing can be loaded when the temperature inside the compartment reaches the set point.

Instructions

Cold storage is for short-term food storage or for daily consumption.
Although the temperature in most parts of the cold storage compartment can be regulated between 0 and 10 degrees Centigrade, extended periods of food storage is not  recommended. Cold storage should only be used for short-term storage.

Cold storage compartment

1. Eggs and butter
2. Pickled food and seasonings
3. Beverages and bottled food| 4. Cookies, cooked food and milk
5. Meat and sausages
6. Fruits, vegetables and salads
---|---

Cautions for cold storage

• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator

Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed in the refrigerator; this will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavor.

Do not store excess quantities or weights of food; food should be stored with spaces in between for better storage results. Never overload shelves, as they may collapse under excessive loads.
Food to be stored should be sorted according to consumer requirements. Food consumed daily should be placed in the most convenient area, this will minimize opening periods for the door. Do not place food too close to the internal walls.

Food holder cleaning

• Food holders can be taken out for cleaning

Lamp:
*Lamp: 240V, 1W
Lamp type: LED light. Energy efficiency level: G
Light source in this product is replaceable only by a professional

Instructions for food storage
*Storage period will be extended if vegetables are placed with their roots towards the cold source.

Leaves of carrots or turnips should be removed before storage.
Put a wad of tissue on the bottle holder before placing bottles on it so that later cleaning is easier
*Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and other root vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator, as these foods are suitable for long-term storage at normal temperatures.

*Ripe squash, melon, papaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will accelerate the ripening process.

Defrosting-Cleaning -De-commissioning

Defrosting the cold storage compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the  compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the water.

Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors.
Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.
Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.

1. Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator
2. Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller

Always keep the rubber door seal clean
Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

Cessation of Operation
If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previously described. Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food remaining in the compartment from producing bad odors.
Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off

Power failure
Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.
Don’t put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.
Avoid opening the door during power failures
*If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage compartment.
Caution: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.

During Vacations
Remove any food from refrigerator is the vacation is short. Turn the temperature selection knob to the proper position, and make sure that the door of the refrigerator is properly closed.
If the vacation is long, take out the food from the refrigerator and disconnect the power.
When the frost inside melts, clean and dry the compartment.

Moving the refrigerator

• Unplug the refrigerator
• Remove any food
• Tigh0ten the shelf and vegetable tray with tapes
  *Tightly close the door with tape

Questions and Answers

Events below are not problems:

The temperature of the refrigerator and the compressor will rise and the compressor will run for comparatively longer periods when the refrigerator is first started. Wipe water drops on the external surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth. When the refrigerator is opened frequently or stay open too long in humid seasons, the cavity will be dampened. A slight sound will be heard when the liquid refrigerant circulates or when the compressor switches on and off. A slight sound will be heard when defrosted water drops into the evaporating dish. The compressor will operate for comparatively longer periods if excessive quantities of food are stored or the ambient temperature is high. The evaporator will produce odors if the compartment is not cleaned.

Caution: The refrigerator should never be restarted until a period of at least five minutes has elapsed.
Please determine the cause of the problem before making any repairs.
