Well Ventilating
There is a need for good ventilation around the refrigerator for easy
dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration, and low power
consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear space should need around the
refrigerator. Its back is at least 100mm away from the wall, its sides at
least have a space of 100mm separately and the height from over its top is not
less than 200mm. Clear space should be left to open its doors to 160.
Power Supply
The refrigerator is only applied with a power supply of single-phase
alternating current of (220-240)V~/50Hz; If fluctuation of voltage in the
district user is so large that the voltage exceeds the above scope, for safety
sake, be sure to apply a.c. automatic voltage regulator to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator must employ a special power socket instead of a common one
with other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground
wire.
Power Line Cord
The cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into the coil during operation. Moreover, it is forbidden that cord is kept close to the compressor at the back of the refrigerator, the surface temperature of which is quite high when operating. Touching with it would deactivate the insulation or cause leakage for electricity.
Protection from Moisture
Avoiding placing the refrigerator in a place where heavy moisture is present so as to minimize the possibility of rusty for its metal parts. Still more, the refrigerator is forbidden to be directly sprayed by water, otherwise, poor insulation and current leakage would occur.
Switching on the appliance
Starting up the appliance
The appliance features internal controls. Plugin the appliance. When the appliance is connected to the mains, the inside light switches on each time the door is opened. The thermostat, located inside the refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.
Appliance temperature adjustment:
Temperature setting:
The thermostat is used to automatically adjust the internal temperature of the
refrigerator compartment. The thermostat knob can be turned from position to 5
(coldest setting) to make the internal temperature colder. When set to O the
appliance is switched off. To store food for a short period of time, set the
thermostat between I (Min) and 3 (Med).
-To store food for long periods of time, set the thermostat to 3 or 4.
-To get the coldest temperature, set the thermostat to 5.

Moving
When fixed or moved, the refrigerator can not be set horizontally or declined to more than 45° or upside-down.
Cautions
★ It must be checked that the voltage used should be the same as the rated
voltage before the refrigerator is used.
★ Water contained d or getting into the air inside the refrigerator by opening
doors may form a layer of frost inside, It will weaken the refrigerator when
the frost is thick, The refrigerator can defrost automatically. The defrost
water flows into the water collection pan through the drain port and evaporate
by the heat of the compressor.
★ If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by
a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special purpose tools are
required.

★ When performing maintenance, make absolutely sure that the power plug is
first disconnected from the power outlet.
★ Wipe the inner and outer surface of the refrigerator and its accessories
with a wet cloth. If they are too dirty, scrub them with neutral detergent,
and then clean them with water and dry them with a clean cloth. After this, a
small quantify of glass wax is recommended to polish the refrigerator surface
with a flannelette.
★ For cleaning, don’t use hot water, diluent, petrol, alcohol, kerosene,
washing powder, cleanser, aikailinous detergent, acid, Chemical cloth, etc. So
as not to damage the lacquer coat and plastics. It is forbidden that the
refrigerator is directly sprayed with water. Otherwise, it would cause rusty
or weaken the insulation.

always be cleaned.
★ If the plastic parts in the refrigerator remain contaminated for a long time
by oil (animal or vegetable), they will be easily aged and possibly cracked.
The drain pan gets dirty very easily if it is not cleaned regularly, bad odors
will be produced, get into the habit of cleaning this pan regularly.
Troubleshooting
1. When the refrigerator does not work
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet.
Check that the fuse has not blown.
2. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively
The temperature control dial may be set too high.
If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool
air outlets, they will freeze easily.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
3. When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently The food may be packed
too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air.
You may have put something hot or a lot of foodstuffs into the refrigerator.
The door may not have been closed properly.
The door gaskets may be damaged. The refrigerator may not be ventilated.
There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces
Immediately both sides and above.
The temperature control dial may not be set properly.
4. When the defrosting water overflows inside the refrigerator and onto the
floor.
Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not clogged.
Check that the drain pan is housed properly.
5. When condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator. Condensation
may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season.
This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is
poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe dry with
a dry cloth.
6. When you hear a sound like water flowing.
A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
7. When the cabinet’s side panel heats up The side panel of the cabinet will
heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit
and when the unit operates in summer with high ambient outside temperature, In
such case, do not touch the panel, it results from the dissipation of the heat
from inside the cabinet, and it does not mean that something is wrong with the
refrigerator.
Technical specifications
For the detailed technical specifications, please refer to the nameplate at the back of the refrigerator.
Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
