INSTALLATION

Before First Use
Before using the cooler, remove all packaging materials including bottom cushions and foam pads and tapes inside the cooler, tear off the protective film on the door and the cooler body.

• Allow the appliance to settle for at least 2 hours after transportation before powering it on to prevent a decrease in cooling capacity or damage to the appliance. When starting the appliance for the first time, let it sit for 30 minutes before connecting to power.
• In case of a power failure or during cleaning, unplug the appliance. Wait at least 5 minutes before reconnecting to the power supply to prevent damage to the compressor   from frequent starts.
• During compressor operation, water droplets or frost may form on the back wall of the refrigerated compartment, which is a normal occurrence. Over time, the frost will melt into water and flow into the water tray to evaporate.
• Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy-saving plugs or converters that convert DC to AC power (e.g., solar energy systems, ship grids).

Location

• The cooler is placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat and sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for levelling if unstable).
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as stove, heating radiator, etc. If the cooler must be put next to heat source, a suitable insulation board shall be applied or keep the cooler away from heat source.
• The top space of the appliance shall be greater than 30cm and the distances from both sides and backside shall be more than 10cm to facilitate heat dissipation.
  

Recommended Layout for Beverages in the Fridge
Ensure that cans do not touch the back side of the appliance to maintain proper air circulation within the cabinet. The capacity for storing beverage cans is calculated based on the standard size of a 355ml can (65mm x 125mm approx.).

Note: Using oversized beverage cans may impact the total number of cans that can be stored in the cabinet.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Appliance is not working|

• Ensure the appliance is plugged and connected to power.
• Low voltage.
• Check the temperature control knob is in the work area.
• Power failure or tripped circuit.

---|---
l ong-term operation of compressor|

• It is normal that cooler operates for longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher.
• Do not put too much beverage s in the appliance at one time.
• Frequent opening of fridge door.

Light not work| Whether the fridge is connected to power, whether the indicator light is damaged.
Loud noises|

• Ensure the floor is flat, whether the placement of fridge is stable.
• Ensure the fridge accessories are properly placed.

Overheat on sidewall| The fridge enclosure may emit heat during running specially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser and it is a normal phenomenon.
Surface condensation| Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the cooler when the ambient humidity is high, this is a normal phenomenon and after wiping with towel, turns up the set temperature of the appliance properly.
Airflow sound Buzz Clatter|

• Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and grunts which is normal does not affect the cooling effect.
