Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands when operating the appliance.
It is dangerous to touch the plug when your hand is wet.
When using the refrigerator in a vehicle or boat, please make sure the power source is fused (ie has a fuse protecting the input power).
The installation of a wired DC power source should be handled by qualified personnel.
Make sure the input voltage is correct. Check technical data label

PLEASE NOTE:

Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the back of the unit. Allow a gap of at least 200mm around the back and 100mm around the right.
Avoid humidity. Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling. Therefore, defrost it before this happens. Never clean the appliance under running water or in dishwater.
Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator work more efficiently and keep the contents cool.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions for First Use

Unpack the fridge, remove the carton and place the refrigerator as per installation instructions.
Although the refrigerator has been cleaned before leaving the factory, we strongly recommend using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little neutral detergent to clean it again. After that wipe it with a dry soft cloth. (Warning: Electrical parts can be wiped by a dry cloth only)
Plugin the refrigerator and open the door. You will see the light in the refrigerator is on. Set the thermostat button at 3 to start the compressor After 30 minutes, open the freezer door. When you feel the temperature is obviously decreasing, the refrigerating system works properly. After the refrigerator works for a while, the thermostat will keep the temperature in setting range automatically
For first time use, please put foods into the refrigerator after it cools down

FOOD STORAGE

Freezer (Below-18C)

Meat should be cut and wrapped tightly, and then evenly placed in the freezer
After buying frozen food, put it in the freezer whilst it is still in frozen
Do not put the fresh food and frozen food together
Do not put the fruit and vegetable in the freezer in order to avoid freeze-drying
Do not put a glass container or other container with a sealed lid that contains liquid into the freezer. Or there is a possibility of explosion as the liquid freezes and expands.

Refrigerator (0 °C-5°C)

Eggs, butter, milk, and bottled drinks can be put in the refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be put in the crisper for moisture retaining.
Hot food should be cooled down before its placed into the fridge or freezer, which could help to save power.
Food should be packed into zip-lock or vacuum-packed bags. Leaving space between these items to allow the circulation of cool air between them.

Quick-freezing

Food is frozen by a rapid process to retain the natural flavor and nutritional value
Quick-freezing is better than normal-freezingforMeatstorage
To start quick-freezing, you must set the temperature control at 6-7 and put the food in the middle of the freezer. After quick-freezing finishes set the temperature control back to normal position

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

Light
Compensatory switch
Thermostat

The temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the refrigerator. “l” is the least cold and “7” is the most cold. You can adjust it according to your requirement. A setting of 0 will force the refrigerator stopped.
Youcansetthetemperaturecontrolleratproperposition according to the ambient temperature and the number of contents loaded into the refrigerator.

Using in winter

In winter the indoor temperature may be below 10°C. If the refrigerator does not start or work properly, please turn on the compensatory switch shown in the picture on the left This will make the refrigerator work properly.
When the indoor temperature warms up or abnormal ice crystals appear on surfaces in the freezer please turn off the switch shown in the left figure.

DEFROSTING

After the refrigerator has been working for a period of time frost could develop on surfaces of the freezer, which reduces the refrigerating effect and increases power consumption.
Defrost directions

Unplug the refrigerator and open the door, remove the contents (food/drink) from the refrigerator.
Use a plastic defrosting shovel or plastic scraper to remove ice and frost (Or alternatively you can just leave the door open to allow the ice and frost to melt).
Then use a cloth or towel to wipe away the water and ice.
After that, place the food back in the refrigerator and plugin.

Note: – Do not use sharp metal tools to defrost which will damage the refrigerator.

THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS ARE NORMAL

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create boiling or gurgling sounds.
When it is raining outside and there is high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of the refrigerator or near the door gaskets.
You can wipe any damp surfaces with a dry cloth.
The temperature on the back panel and doorframes may be high (particularly in summer) due to the heat emission of the condenser and defrost heater.
The temperature on external surfaces of the compressor may be high when the compressor is working.
The compressor may cause a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at starting or stopping step.
When the refrigerator is working some dew or frost may be found on the back panel inside the refrigerator.
