PART 8: USE OF THE APPLIANCE
To obtain the best possible results form your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly.
Acronym for ambient temperature range, ie SN, N, ST or T, in determining cli mate classes: 1. the extended temperate zone (SN) has a temperature range of 10 °C to 32 °C; 2. the temperate zone (N) has a temperature range of 16 °C to 32 °C; 3. the subtropical zone (ST) has a temperature range from 18 °C to 38 °C 4. The tropical zone (T) has a temperature range of 18 °C to 43 °C.
Temperature Control (optional)
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are located at the fop shelf of the refrigerating compartment. When you first install your refrigerator, set the Thermostat knob at 3. Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. The higher number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. When the thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator is not running,

Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging. When you close and seal the package you must not allow air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.
NOTE! Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment. For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer and refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
Defrosting
· Refrigerator compartment Defrosting process is automatic by thermostat knob Melted frost flow into drip tray and automatic evaporating.
· Freezer compartment Defrosting for the freezer compartment is by manual process. · Turn the thermostat knob to set at OFF position and leave open the freezer door. · Remove all foods, ice cube tray and shelf or transfer to refrigerating compartment. · Clean and wipe out the melted frost with a cloth. · After defrosting, turn thermostat knob to origin position.
NOTE! To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, do not use any sharp objects to remove the frost or separate the frozen food.
Functions
(The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.)
· Turn the temperature control knob to MAX, the internal temperature of the refrigerator becomes lower.
· Turn the temperature control knob to MIN, the internal temperature of the refrigerator becomes higher.
· The letter on the knob only represents the level, but does not mean the specific temperature, the “OFF” means stop working.
· Recommended gear: “MED”. · If there is no special needs, please avoid
setting the gear at MAX all the time so as to make sure you can prevent the tank bladder from frosting.
