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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Position your refrigerator so that the plug is accessible.
• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight.
• Do not place next to the heat-generating appliance.
• Do not place it directly on the ground. Provide a suitable stand.
•  The refrigerator will have better performance at an ambient of 20-25 °C. We suggest the refrigerator be powered off if the ambient temperature is lower than 10 °C.
•  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

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

the following four pictures show four installation ways:

INSTALLATION OF THE SLIDING HINGE
