2. Bottle holders
3. Freezer compartment
4. Thermostat
5. Crisper cover
6. Glass shelf

The refrigerator is intended for short-term food storage. term. Although the temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, it is not recommended to store food for long periods of time periods.
As cold air circulates in the refrigerator, the temperature can vary between different sections. This is why food should be stored in different sections depending on its type.
The shelves of the refrigerator can be moved according to the storage needs in the refrigerator section. To move the shelf, lift the front part, then pull it out. For the back into place, slide the shelf into the slot, and lower the front part.
Thermostat

Temperature Control

This refrigerator’s temperature controls are simple and easy to use. To change the temperature, simply press the “Adjust” button on the right side of the unit to cycle through settings 1 through 5. The warmest setting being 1 and the coldest being 5. After changed the temperature setting, the time it takes to reach the new temperature depends on the size of the change from the previous setting.

Recommended temperature: setting 3

Refrigerator compartment: different foods, especially vegetables and fruits have different storage temperatures. the storage time is 1-3 days.
Freezer compartment: 1~2：1 week, 3-7: 3 months

Switching on and off

When the refrigerator is connected to a power supply, the lights under the setting numbers will illuminate, indicating the setting currently used.
To turn the device on and off, just press the button. “Power” is located on the left side of the device and holds it pressed for about 5 seconds.

Defrost the refrigerator

The refrigerator is self-defrosting. The water present will flow the refrigerator through the channel at the back of the refrigerator.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times when using the cleaning tool provided.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporation tray located at the rear of the apparatus and dissipated by evaporation.
Excessive buildup of ice or frost in your cooler will result in a decrease in effectiveness and a potential increase in your energy bills. We recommend that you defrost the cooler at least once a year or whenever the accumulation of ice inside is greater than ¼ of an inch.
The safest way to defrost your cooler is to turn off the unit and leave the doors open until all the ice has melted. Be sure to place old towels on the floor at the base of the unit
to collect the water flowing from the appliance. We do not recommend using newspapers to catch the water, as the ink can run and ruin floors or appliances.
Removing pieces of ice/frost during defrosting will speed up the process. Do not use objects or instruments with sharp edges, hair dryers,s or heat guns, as they may cause irreversible damage.

Installation ventilation

This device must never be installed near sources of heat, for example from heating elements, stoves, or in damp places.
– To ensure that the appliance is level, you must use the height-adjustable feet on the front of the device
– The ventilation system at the bottom of the device must not be blocked
– Fig.1 shows the installation conditions of your device. All the measurements are expressed in millimeters. Improper installation of the device may result in increased operating costs, premature failure, and voiding of the warranty provided with the device.

Assembly of the decorative door

Fig. 3 – Mounting the decorative door support Remove the white decorative cover (Fig. 2) by lifting it upwards.
Get the measurements below:
Dimension B = Measurement from the bottom surface of the unit kitchen at the bottom of the mounting bracket.

Dimension C = Distance between the surface of the bottom surface of the kitchen unit to the top of the next unit’s door.
Unscrew and remove the nuts and washers at the top of the device door to remove the media.

Fig. 4 – Mounting the decorative door support
Subtract C from B and put the mounting bracket (2) in place using this measurement for the vertical position and place it in the center for the horizontal position. Secure the mounting bracket (2) using the screw (1).

Fig. 5 – Mounting the decorative door support

Subtract C from B and put the mounting bracket (2) in place using this measurement for the vertical position and place it in the center for the horizontal position. Secure the mounting bracket (2) using the screw (1). Locate the washers and screw the nuts onto the bolts of the setting.

Fig. 6 – Alignment of the decorative door

Close the door and check the alignment with the other doors of the unit. Adjust the decorative door by screwing or unscrewing the bolts of adjustment for vertical adjustment and using the slots in the support of fixing for other directions. Lock the screws in place as shown in the Fig. 6.

Installation of decorative door plinth fixings

With the appliance door open, locate the mounting brackets of the metal base of the decorative door and screw the fasteners to the door decorative. You may need to remove and replace these brackets depending on the decorative door used.

COLDEST ZONE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
This symbol below indicates the location of the coldest zone in your refrigerator. This zone is delimited near the fan and high by the symbol or by the helf positioned at the same height.
In order to guarantee the temperatures in this zone, take care not to modify the positioning of this shelf.

Installing the Temperature Gauge
To help you properly regulate your refrigerator, it is equipped with a temperature indicator (delivered in the instructions bag) which will allow controlling the average temperature in the coldest zone.
WARNING: This indicator is only intended for use with your fridge. Be careful not to use it in another refrigerator (indeed, the coldest zone is not identical), or for another use.
Checking the temperature in the coldest zone Once the installation of the temperature indicator is completed, you can regularly check that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. If necessary, adjust the thermostat accordingly as previously indicated. The temperature inside the refrigerator is influenced by several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored, and how often the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature. For the good conservation of foodstuffs in your refrigerator and especially in the coldest zone, make sure that the temperature indicator temperature appears “OK”.

If “OK” does not appear, it means that the temperature is too high. Set the thermostat to a higher position. Wait to month 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat. After loading the food fresh in the appliance or after repeated openings (or opening extended) of the door, it is normal that the inscription “OK” does not appear on the temperature indicator.
