INSTALLATION
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 with an average room temperature of
between 16°C and 38°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g.
cooker, boiler, or radiator. Also, avoid direct sunlight as it may increase
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 20 cm of free space is left on both sides, 15 cm at the
rear, and 20 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. The
door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better suits
the location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully
open.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
*All images in this instruction manual are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for details.
OPERATION
4.1 Adjusting the Temperature
-
Users may adjust the refrigerator according to their actual needs.
It is generally recommended to adjust to the third gear. -
Under the same ambient temperature, a larger number stands for more robust refrigeration and lower temperature inside the chamber and vice versa.
-
On condition that the compressor runs for a relatively long time or large ice cubes are found in the refrigerating chamber, adjust the thermostat knob to the direction of smaller numbers.
-
Knob on the figure represents only gear instead of a specific temperature. ＂OFF＂ position of the thermostat means to stop working.
-
Do not control the lamp temperature controller, the “OFF” position when the lamp does not go out.
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 a bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fish in a container
that is large enough to collect juices and cover them 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 the transfer of favors 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 from 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.
CLEANING
5.1 Defrosting
Defrost the freezing compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of
the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting remove all food and set the
thermostat at the “OFF” position.
Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. After the
frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of the
refrigerator. The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat
to the desired setting.
5.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
◆ Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first
remove the lower door shelf.
◆ Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and
then rinse with warm water using a“wrung-out” sponge or cloth. Wipe completely
dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.
◆ Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with standard
furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish
getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
◆ The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
5.3 Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a
change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem
continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.
MAINTENANCE
6.1 Changing the Internal Light
◆ Illuminating lamp parameter: MAX15W
◆ Lighting lamps replacement:
First, unplug the refrigerator freezer.

voltage;
Failure of power or tripping circuit
---|---
Odor| Odorous foods should be closely wrapped; Whether foods are rotten;
Whether the interior shall be cleaned.
Long-term operation of the compressor| It is normal that the refrigerator
operates for a longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher;
Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time; Do not put foods until
they are cooled; Frequent opening of the refrigerator door.
Illuminating light does not shine| Whether the refrigerator is connected to
power, whether the illuminating light is damaged.
The refrigerator door can not be properly closed.| The freezer door is stuck
by food packages;
Too much food;
Tilt refrigerator.
Loud noises| Whether the food is leveled, whether the refrigerator is
balanced;
Whether the refrigerator parts are properly placed.
7.1 Warm tips:
◆The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially 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 the compressor, especially when
starting up or shutting down.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and
hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate
air circulation behind the appliance).
In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat in the middle
setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are
cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean and free of
dust or any impurities.
Always consider the instructions stated in the ＂Positioning and Energy Saving
Tips＂ sections, otherwise, the energy consumption might be substantially
higher.
◆ The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
◆ Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that
freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
◆ Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
◆ The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less
efficient.
◆ Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
