PRODUCT INSTALLATION

Installation Instructions

Finding a suitable location

This refrigerator is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
The refrigerator should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat and sturdy.
Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the refrigerator in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.

Dimensions and Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in the degradation of freezing capability and increased electricity costs. the refrigerator both sides should be placed against the wall with a free distance more than 100mm, and the refrigerator back against the wall distance not more than 75 mm.

Providing a proper power supply

Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a AC115 V, 60 Hz power supply.
Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this refrigerator.

CAUTION

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Start to use

The refrigerator shall stay for 2 hours before connecting power when it is firstly started.
The refrigerator shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the refrigerator shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient temperature is high.

Leveling feet

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to lower it.

Moving the appliance

Remove all food from inside the appliance.
Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the power plug hook at the rear or on top of the appliance.
Tape parts such as shelves and the door handle to prevent from falling off while moving the appliance.
Move the appliance with more than two people carefully. When transporting the appliance over a long distance, keep the appliance upright.
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet to switch on the appliance.

ATTENTION

Precautions before operation:
Before making changes the refrigerator must be disconnected from power.
Precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury.

Changing the light

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.

ATTENTION

After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Tips for energy saving

Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy.
To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.
An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases the energy efficiency.
Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door briefly and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

Tips on storing food

Freezer compartment

The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature, long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing hot food designated for freezing.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts that can be used at the same time.
Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage time stated on the package.

Refrigerator compartment

To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.

ATTENTION

The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator. Foods stored shall not block the air outlet; or otherwise the freezing effect will also be adversely affected.
When store beverages at coldest setting, inside fruits and vegetables are at risk of freezing, please set on towards less cooling if coldest setting is very cool.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.
