This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a),a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. 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 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.
• Install this unit in a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the unit‘s nameplate:

1. Thermostat and light switch (on the back of the unit)
2. Glass door
3. Shelf
4. Adjustable feet

Thermostat and light

• The thermostat is located on the back panel of the unit, near the power cord. Select the desired target temperature by turning the knob clockwise to lower the temperature or counterclockwise to raise it. In summer, when the ambient temperature is high, the indoor temperature should be set low. In winter, the situation is reversed.
• Turn the interior light on/off by operating the switch to the right of the thermostat.

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION

Before first use

• Before use, remove all packing materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads and tapes inside of the refrigerator; tear off the protective film on the doors and the refrigerator body.
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the unit in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
• Do not spray or wash the refrigerator; do not put the refrigerator in moist places easy to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties of the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator 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).
• The top space of the refrigerator shall be greater than 30 cm, and The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance more than 10 cm to facilitate heat dissipation.
• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2- 3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

• Frost may accumulate on the inside of the unit and defrost automatically during the compressor cycle.
• The water is led through the drain opening into the collecting tray above the compressor where it evaporates.
• Make sure that the drain hole is cleaned regularly so that the water can escape from the storage compartment.

Cleaning the Unit

• Remove all shelves and the vegetable compartment. First remove the lower door compartment so that you can remove the vegetable compartment.
• Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth and a little detergent. Then wipe with clear, warm water.
• Wash the shelves and the vegetable compartment in water with detergent and dry them before putting them back into the appliance. Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
• The condenser grille on the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips
Condensation may form on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off the condensation water. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.
Maintenance

• When you move the unit, hold it by the sides or floor. Do not hold it by the edges of the top.
• The unit should be serviced by an authorized technician and only original spare parts should be used. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs by inexperienced persons may result in injury or serious malfunction.
• If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect it from the power supply. Remove all food and clean the appliance. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant odours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

whether the plug is in well contact.
Check whether the voltage is too low.
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped.
Odor.| Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any rotten food.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Long-time operation of the compressor.| Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time.
Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance.
The doors are opened too frequently.
Doors cannot be properly closed.| The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed.
The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noise.| Check whether the floor is level and whether the

refrigerator is placed stably.

Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
Door seal fails to be tight.| Remove foreign matters on the door seal.
Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).
Problem| Possible cause and suggested solution
---|---
Water pan overflows.| There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water,resulting in heavy defrosting.
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.
Hot housing.| Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal.
When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Surface condensation.| Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate

with a clean towel.
