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 issue 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, it 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 the electronic temperature control, the fridge-freezer is designed with a 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 performances. Furthermore, 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 fridgefreezer, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on the global warming, so it is the environmentally friendly product.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.
Try a different power point.
The light is not working.| There is no light in freezer compartment, only fridge compartment has light.
Make sure the power is connected to the unit.
Compressor runs all the time| The room temperature is hotter than normal.
A large amount of food has been added to the refrigerator.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The temperature control is not set correctly.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
The refrigerator does not have the correct clearances.
The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. 6+ hours are required for the refrigerator to cool down completely pending on operating conditions.
Temperature inside the refrigerator is too warm.| Temperature control is set incorrectly. Turn the control to a cooler setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Warm air enters the refrigerator every time the door is opened). Open the door less often.
The door is not closed completely.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
Temperature inside the refrigerator is too cold.| Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Temperature of external refrigerator side walls  are warm.| The exterior refrigerator walls can be as much as 15-20 degrees warmer than room temperature.
This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet to the condenser behind the refrigerator side walls.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor comes on.| Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as refrigerator continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling.| Refrigerant (used to cool refrigerator) is circulating throughout the system. This is normal operation.
Vibrations.| Check the refrigerator is on a level/even surface.
Refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly.
Be sure floor can adequately support refrigerator.
Level the refrigerator by putting wood or metal shims under part of the refrigerator.
 The refrigerator is touching the wall. Re-level the refrigerator and move it from the wall. See “Installation Instructions”.
Moisture forms on inside refrigerator walls.| Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal.
Door is slightly open.
Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently.
Open the door less often.
The door is not sealed properly.
Moisture forms on outside of refrigerator.| Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm moist air from the outside.
The doors will not close properly.| The refrigerator is not on a level surface.
The gasket/s may be dirty or not properly maintained.
Clean the seals and make sure they are dry before closing the door/s.
The storage basket and/or shelves are out of position.
