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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION

• Make sure the refrigerator is kept upright during handling. If an inclination is required, it should not exceed 45 degrees. Otherwise the appliance may get damaged resulting not only in compromised refrigeration performance.
• To avoid product damage or personal injury, the refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is located in a previously selected position.
• Remove all packing materials.
• Checking should be conducted with reference to the Packing List. Contact the local distributor if discrepan- cies are found.
• Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no visible exterior damage.
• When handling the refrigerator, do not lift it by holding the worktop, to prevent any damage to the refrig- erator.
• Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.
• Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated place.
• Clean the refrigerator before use. (See the section “Cleaning”)
• After the refrigerator has been sited and cleaned, let it stand for more than 30 minutes before connecting the power source.

OPERATION

Starting the refrigerator
After connecting to the power supply, turn the temperature controller clockwise from position 0 to any posi- tion between 1 and 7 to start the refrigerator. The refrigerator compressor will stop when the temperature controller is at position 0.

Adjusting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is adjusted by turning the temperature controller. Positions 1 to 7 represent different temperatures from the lowest to the highest.

Instructions for heater switch
In winter, when the room temperature is below 10 °C , to make the refrigerator achieve good cooling effect, set the switch to “ON” position (with the “-” sign side down). When the room temperature is above 10 °C, tplease dial the switch to the “OFF” position in time,so that it can save energy. When you need fast cooling, set the switch to the “ON” position (with the “-” sign side down). fast cooling is not re- quired, set the switch to the “OFF” position. When the standard test refrigeration capacity, the switch must be placed in the “ON” position.

Note : Some time will be required for the refrigerator to reach the set level when temperature adjustments are made. The length of this period is determined by difference in the existing and set temperatures, the ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and closed and the amount of food in storage.

Loading the refrigerator with food
When the refrigerator is switched on, do not load food until 1~2 hours have passed. Usually, food for cold storage or deep freezing can be loaded when the temperature inside the compartment reaches the set point.

Note: Cold storage is for short-term food storage or for daily consumption. Although the temperature in most parts of the cold storage compartment can be regulated between 0 and 10 degrees Centigrade, extended periods of food storage is not recommended. Cold storage should only be used for short-term storage.

COLD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Cautions for cold storage

• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator,
• Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
• It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed in the refrigerator;this will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavour.
• Do not store excess quantities or weights of food; food should be stored with spaces in between for better storage results. Never overload shelves, as they may collapse under excessive loads.
• Food to be stored should be sorted according to consumer requirements. Food consumed daily should be placed in the most convenient area, this will minimize opening periods for the door. Do not place food too close to the internal walls.

Storage of fruit and vegetables
Storage period will be extended if vegetables are placed with their roots towards the cold source. Leaves of carrots or turnips should be removed before storage.

Bottles
Put a wad of tissue on the bottle holder before placing bottles on it so that later cleaning is easier.

Not to be stored in the refrigerator: Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and other root vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator,as these foods are suitable for long-term storage at normal temperatures. Ripe squash, melon, papaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will accelerate the ripening process.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Defrosting the cold storage compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.

Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odours.

• Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
• Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.
• Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
• Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator
• Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller.
• Always keep the rubber door seal clean.
• Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

Cessation of Operation

• If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previ- ously described.
• Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food remaining in the compartment from producing bad odours.

Power failure

• Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.
• Do not put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.
• Avoid opening the door during power failures.
• If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage compartment.

Note: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of technical prob- lems, and the storage period will be reduced.

During vacations

• Remove any food from refrigerator is the vacation is short. Turn the temperature selection knob to the proper position, and make sure that the door of the refrigerator is properly closed.
• If the vacation is long, take out the food from the refrigerator and disconnect the power. When the frost inside melts, clean and dry the compartment.

Moving the refrigerator

• Unplug the refrigerator. Remove any food.
• Tighten the shelf and vegetable tray with tapes.
• Tightly close the door with tape.

Replacing the bulb

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket,or disconnect the mains fuse or remove the screw-out fuse in countries where this is appliance.
• Grasp the lamp cover at the top and at the bottom(1),and pull it forwards to remove(2). Unscrew the lamp.
• Change the lamp.
• Screw the new lamp into the connection. Make sure the safety catch is correctly fitted. Replace the lamp cover,and click it into place at the sides.
