This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), an environmentally friendly natural gas. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however,led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable,and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance so that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Notes on daily use

• Do not put hot food in the machine.
• Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
• Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
• Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
• Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
• Open the door as rarely as possible.
• Do not leave the door open too long.
• Do not set the thermostat too low.
• To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

• Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for possible return shipment.
• Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.
• Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit. Otherwise, the unit may overheat.
• If possible, the spacers on the unit should rest against the wall. This prevents burns caused by touching the hot compressor or condenser.
• The unit must not be installed near radiators or cookers.
• Make sure that the mains plug is always accessible after the unit has been installed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Position your refrigerator so that the plug is accessible.
• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight.
• Do not place next to heat generating appliance.

• After plugging the appliance, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing the beverage into the refrigerator compartment.
• Ventilation is very important for this kind of thermoelectric refrigerator. The inside PCB will be broken easily if the ventilation is bad. It will also reduce the life of the refrigerator.

If leakage occurs (which can be easily detected due to the unpleasant smell), please

• Switch off the refrigerator immediately
• Ventilate the room thoroughly
• Call the after-sales service department

Note : The refrigerator applies automatic defrosting system, so there is no need to defrost it manually.

Power supply

• The refrigerator must be connected to a properly earthed socket in line with relevant valid country regulations before operating.
• Check the data label (which is on the side of the refrigerator) for voltage and frequency corresponding to your local one. If not, don’t plug your cable into the socket.

INSTALLATION

When installing a Heat pipe Refrigerator, ventilation should be considered seriously, please refer to the following:

• There should be at least 200 cm³ for ventilation
• The distance between wall and the refrigerator side should be at least 20mm
• The bottom should be left at least 50mm for air flowing
• The air passing through must not be preheated
• The entire cooling system should be considered in the ventilation

the following four pictures show four installation ways:

INSTALLATION OF THE SLIDING HINGE

• Use two self-screws to fix the sliding hinge.
• After checking the suitable distance, use two self-screws to fix the bottom feet respectively.

• If the refrigerator is closed, there should be a distance of 1-2 mm between the wooden cabinet door and the surrounding.
• There must be left a distance of 6-8mm between the wooden cabinet and the refrigerator door.
• The maximum distance between the refrigerator’s and the cabinet’s hinge is about 40 mm.

CHANGING THE SIDE OF THE DOOR HINGE

Loosen the screws of the right hinge. Remove the upper and lower hinges. The following parts are in the box:

• 1x Left hinge cover
• 2x hinges (top and bottom)

• The distance between the bottom edge and the middle of the lock hole is: 62 mm.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

• Frost may accumulate on the inside of the unit and defrost automatically during the compressor cycle.
