Starting to use

• After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or damage to the product.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen food, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the appliance to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor due to surging.

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 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.

• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extend searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
