2. INSTALLTION

2.1 Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

When installing the unit, ensure that 10 cm of free space is left at both sides, 10 cm at the rear
and 30 cm at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the wine cooler and
improve the efficiency of the cooling process.

*All images in this instruction manual are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for details.

4. OPERATION

4.1 Switching On Your Unit

◆The thermostat knob is located on the right hand side
wall of the refrigerator interior
Setting“Off”：UnitOff
Setting“Min”：Less Cool Temperature
Setting“Med”：Normal Operation(adequate for most situations)
Setting“Max”：Coolest Temperature

◆During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days. It may be necessary to set the
thermostat to the Coolest setting (position “Max”).This may cause the compressor running
continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

◆For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at “Med”.
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait 24
hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat
control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator will not be running.

4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.

4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
◆ Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
◆ Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.
◆ To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
◆ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food
out.

7. Trouble shooting

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not settled.

7.1 Warm tips:

• The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation specially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon.

• Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door
  seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.

• Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting
  down.

8. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Warning for energy

1. Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

2. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or
   cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;

3. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets;

4. The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food
   while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.

9. DISPOSAL

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will
ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your
unit and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes
on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal. Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.
