• Clean the interior surface with warm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the Refrigerator

This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

• Allow at least 5cm of space between the back and sides of the Refrigerator to allow proper air ventilation. Insufficient space will result in cooling and working life issue and voiding warranty.
  • Place the Refrigerator on a leveled/ even floor surface that is strong enough to support the weight of the Refrigerator when it is fully loaded to prevent vibrations.
• Place the Refrigerator on a concrete, tile floor or waterproof floor is recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture, it might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
• The front feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust the two front feet to keep the Refrigerator leveled or elevated.
• Situate the Refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of direct heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may cause an increase power consumption.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation.
• Avoid situating the Refrigerator in moist or infestation areas.
• Plug the Refrigerator into a dedicated, properly installed ground wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
• electrician or an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the Refrigerator.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing in the Refrigerator. Overloading the Refrigerator forces the compressor to work harder. 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 Refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the Refrigerator.

• 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.
