• Please place the refrigerator in the position with small vibration or little exposed to vibration. For users in the area where earthquake often occurs, please fix the  refrigerator against the wall or pole. Otherwise, the falling of refrigerator will cause accident.
• Suffcient clearance shall be left around. If the clearance is too small or place goods on the top or close to the side, or paste on the sides, the heat dissipation of  refrigerator will be affected, and thus to cause unnecessary electric energy waste as well as and other goods; the contact between the back and wall will cause vibration  and noise;
• Adjust the front part and adjusting feet of the refrigerator to level it. Unlevel of the refrigerator will cause vibration and noise.

This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in applianThe outline dimension of the product and the space needed by the use of product are shown in the  following. 

Preparation

1. Remove all packing assemblies such as case fixing tape etc., especially the foam base.
2. Use warm wet cloth to clean both interior and exterior of the refrigerator, (neutral detergent can be added in warm water).
3. After leveling and cleaning the refrigerator, stand it for about 5 hours before plugging the power plug for powering on, and cool the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before  storing foods.

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the  compressor to run longer. 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 appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
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.
Please refer to the product introduction picture on page 5 for the placement of accessories.

When the temperature in the box varies with the opening and closing of the refrigerator, the ambient temperature, and the place where it is placed, etc.
Refrigerator temperature adjustment
When the damper adjustment blade is adjusted to the “cold” side, the amount of cold air blowing to the refrigerating compartment can be increased to achieve a better  refrigerating compartment cooling effect.
Freezer temperature adjustment
When the damper blade adjustment is adjusted to the “coldest” side, the amount of air blowing to the refrigerating compartment is reduced, which will extend the compressor operating time and enhance the refrigeration effect of the freezing compartment.

Operation Key

Foods storage
Refrigerating chamber (2C-8°C)

• The refrigerating chamber is mainly used for storing short-term foods, like milk, eggs and bottled drink.
• Vegetables, melons and fruits shall be put into the fruit and vegetable box to prevent water loss.
• The cooked foods shall be put into the refrigerator after packaging with the preservative bags, to prevent the back from frosting and the power from increasing.

Freezing chamber (-22°C–15°C)

• The freezing chamber is used for the foods to be stored for long-term.
• Fish and meat to be frozen shall be cut into small pieces, packaged with preservative bags separately and then put into the frozen drawer.
• The glass container or the sealed container filled with liquid shall not be stored in the freezing chamber, to prevent the risk of burst due to freezing.
• The fresh foods shall not be stored together with the frozen foods.
• Do not place food close to inside wall in freezer lest food and wall should be frozen together.

** Warm tips:
The stored food, if any, shall not block the air duct outlet and return port for fear of affecting the refrigerating effect.
Before being stored in the refrigerator, the overheated water and food shall be cooled to the room temperature.

Ice-making (If the appliance has it)
Fill the ice-making box with 4/5 water and put the box into the freezing chamber. After the water in the box turns into ice, twist the box slightly to separate the ice from the  box. However, don’t bend the box. When separating the ice, wrap the box with dry box to avoid finger frostbite.
