BEFORE USE WAITING PERIOD

Before plugging the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet, allow it to stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
NOTE: This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

CLEANING

Wash the refrigerator interior using a soft cloth dampened with a baking soda solution (2 tablespoons baking soda mixed with 1 quart of warm water).
Using a soft cloth, thoroughly dry all surfaces. Put the freezer door on the middle hinge, assemble the upper hinge on the other side, fix the hinge cover on the upper hinge, and fix the hole cap on the other side.

REFRIGERATOR USE GENERAL

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
Do NOT place beverage cans, bottles, or other sealed containers of liquid in the freezer. Freezing may cause the containers to crack and leak, damaging the freezer.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Plug in your refrigerator. Wait for 30 minutes, and then open the refrigerator door to determine if the refrigerator is working properly.
Place frozen food into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
Do not line refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and then close the door as soon as possible.
Do NOT add a large amount of unfrozen food to the refrigerator at one time. This will lower the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.

CONTROLS

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 3, the internal temperature of the refrigerator becomes lower.
Turn the temperature control knob to 1, the internal temperature of the refrigerator becomes higher.
The letter on the knob only represents the temperature level but does not
NOTE: Please adjust and use between “1” and”3”

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use and requires minimal cleaning and maintenance. To keep your refrigerator running efficiently and odor-free, we recommend that you clean the refrigerator regularly.

CLEANING
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug your appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, or personal injury.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the finish, DO NOT use gasoline,
benzine, thinner, or other solvents, and DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.

Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.
Remove all food.
Remove and wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wash the refrigerator interior using a soft cloth dampened with a baking soda solution (2 tablespoons baking soda mixed with 1 quart of warm water).
Clean the gasket around the door. Gently wipe the gasket using a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
NOTE: Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to ensure a proper seal.
Using a soft cloth, thoroughly dry all surfaces.
Plug in or reconnect power.

DEFROSTING
Defrost the refrigerator as needed when the ice in the freezer compartment becomes too thick.

Turn the refrigerator control to OFF. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments and store it in a cooler with ice, in another refrigerator, or in a cool area.
Ensure that the drainpipe is clear. Use a soft cloth to clean the refrigerator liner.
Place the drain tray under the evaporator to catch the water from the melting ice. Empty the drain tray as necessary to prevent water from overflowing.
Keep the refrigerator door open until the ice melts.
If desired, place a pan of hot water in the freezer to speed melting.
Use a plastic scraper to help remove ice and frost. Do not use an ice pick, or other metal or sharp implement as this may damage the refrigerator.
Once the ice has melted, dry the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
Plug in the refrigerator and turn the controls to the desired temperature setting. When the refrigerator has cooled, return food to the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
