INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using the Refrigerator

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the refrigerator to a power source, let the unit stand upright for approximately 4 hours to mitigate the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with warm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the Refrigerator

• This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Allow at least 50mm of space on the back and 100mm on each side of the refrigerator to allow proper air ventilation. Insufficient space will result in cooling and working life issues and voiding warranty.

Dimensions in mm:

• Place the refrigerator on a concrete, tile floor, or waterproof floor is recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture, which might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
• The front feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust the two front feet to keep the refrigerator leveled or elevated.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation.
• Avoid situating the refrigerator in moist OR pest infestation areas.
• This refrigerator appliance requires a standard 220-240VAC 50/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the refrigerator.

Product Features

Electronic control

• Adopting electronic temperature control, the fridge-freezer is designed with an LED display screen, by which the temperature of each compartment and the working parameters can be managed and set.

Inverter technology

• Integrated with precise frequency conversion, noise reduction, energy saving, precise temperature control, and other technologies, the fridge-freezer boasts of superior performance. Furthermore, the working efficiency of the inverter compressor can be automatically adjusted according to the ambient temperature and the set temperature and keep the fridge-freezer operating in its optimal state.

Green technology

• The freon-free refrigerant and foaming insulation material are used for the fridge-freezer, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on global warming, so it is an environmentally friendly product.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to work harder. 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 refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• 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.

Ø  Door is slightly open.

Ø  Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often.

Ø  The door is not sealed properly.

**Moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator.| ** Ø  Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm moist air from the outside.
