Do not spray on the appliance by water. It will damage the insulation or speed up the rusting on the metal parts.

Plug out before maintaining the appliance to avoid electrical shock.

When there is some flammable gas (e.g. coal gas, natural gas etc) around the appliance, open the window and let the gas out firstly. Do not plug in or close thermostat to  avoid an explosion cause from electrical fire.

In the cabinet, do not store flammable, explosive or volatile goods. In the cabinet, do not corrosive goods such as acid or alkali.

When the appliance is stopped or kept for a period, please keep the appliance in a place where no children play, and let the door not closed wholly to avoid children inside  and asphyxial. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.The refrigerant and the foaming material is flammable. When the appliance is abandoned, it should be kept from fire sources and not treated with fire.
The appliance should be recycled by appointed institutions. Personal handling may cause danger. Do not spray explosive agent near the appliance to avid fire or explosion.To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.Do not touch the bare pipes or wires to avoid a potential scald or electrical shock. The working voltage should be 220V +10% /-15 %.
That is from 187V to 242V.
If the working voltage is too low or too high, the compressor will be damaged. If the appliance has not been used for a long time, plug out for safety. Do not touch any pipes or electrical parts inside the appliance to avoid scald.
Sometimes the pipes or electrical parts inside the appliance are at a high temperature. Do not spray cold water onto the cabinet to avoid any damage on inner shell or safety problem. Do not touch the refrigerant pipes inside the cabinet to avoid low-temperature burns on skin. Do not store any medicine or study material which require a very accurate temperature. Do not store any goods which are easily cracked after freezing (e.g. bottles or cans), when the temperature is under -18 ℃.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Remove the door seal to avoid asphyxia if children inside the cabinet, when the appliance is abandoned. Do not touch the surface to avoid any scald during working or right after plugging out.
At this moment, the surface is at a high temperature.Plug out and take all the stored goods out before moving to avoid the appliance damaged or the users hurt.Do not let children take goods out by themselves to avoid any hazard.Remove the flammable bottom polyfoams before using to avoid fire. The refrigerant is flammable.
Do ask Service Dept to repair if the cooling system has some problem.
Do not disassemble, repair or modify the appliance by yourselves to avoid any refrigerant leakage.
The refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries.
WARNING : Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure ,clear of obstruction.
WARNING : Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process ,other than those recommended by the manufacture.
WARNING : Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of type recommended by the manufacturer.
Connect to potable water supply only.

Carrying and installing

Carry the appliance carefully and avoid collisions and big shakes . Check all the positions for the package.
Pack the appliance according to the orignial one before carrying. The incline angle should be less than 45° during carrying to avoid damages of the cooling system. Do not place the appliance under sunshine or near heating sources.
It will increase the power consumption and decrease plastic parts or surface coatings life. The ground should be flat, sturdy and horizontal for a stable installing.
It is not only for safety, but also for a stable working of the compressor without big shocks and noises. The appliance should have some distance from circumferences for good ventilation, heat radiation and power consumption decreasing. Install the appliance in a dry place.
The appliance will get rusted and have a poor insulation if in a place with humidity or water for a long time.
Do not install the appliance in the outside place where rain can reach.

Usage at the first time

Place the appliance according to the installing requirements.
Open the door for air ventilating. Clean the inner cabinet before using.

After installing the appliance, wait for 30 minutes at least before switching on the appliance.
( During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.)
At the beginning, the cabinet is hot and the compressor will work for a long time and then stopped by the thermostat at the set temperature. At that time, the compressor can works and stops regularly.
Recommend to put goods into the cabinet when the cabinet temperature reaches the set temperature.

Thermostat

The cabinet temperature is controlled by the thermostat on the panel. The thermostat can set a suitable temperature range according to different ambient temperatures and different kinds and QTY of goods.
The red indicator is the POWER indicator. When plugging in, the red indicator works.
The green indicator is the OPERATION indicator. When the compressor runs, the green indicator works.
The thermostat knob can be rotated from MIN to MAX.
When rotating clockwise, the cooling time will be longer & the stopping time will be shorter. In this way, the cabinet temperature will be lower.
When rotating anticlockwise, the cooling time will be shorter & the stopping time will be longer. In this way, the cabinet temperature will be higher.
After adjusting the thermostat, it will take some time to reach the stable working.

General knowledge for usage

Keep some spaces between stored goods.
It do good for cooling air circulating and heat exchange and a better cooling effect will be achieved. Seal the food by fresh kept bags or closed container to avoid smell-mixed or dry. For hot food, hold it cooled and then put into the appliance. If put it in hot status, it will decrease the cooling level of the goods nearby.

Open the door as briefly as possible.
Make sure the door closed wholly to save power consumption. Put labels marked time onto the goods.
The goods stored early should be taken out early. Set different cooling temperatures according to different goods. Too low cooling temperature will waste power consumption. When switching off or a power cut, must restart after 5 minutes minimum.
Or it will shorten the compressor life or even damage the compressor. If know a power cut in advance, set the thermostat for a low temperature and keep the appliance cooling for some time. And open the door as briefly as possible. When power is cut, try not to open the door and do not add goods into the appliance.

Cleaning and maintaining the appliance

Regular cleaning and maintaining can prolong the life of the appliance and increase the cooling efficiency.
Plug out before cleaning or maintaining.

Clean the inner cabinet and outer shell in soft clothes with neutral agent & warm water.
Do not use hot water, corrosive cleaning agents or organic agent . Clean the door seal by a bleacher which diluted by 10 times water.
Then remove the remains by clear water.

After maintaining, check the below points to make sure safety.

1. If the connection is good between the plug and the socket?
2. If the plug is hot abnormally?
3. If there is any cranny or nick on the cord?

Before stopping for a long time, the appliance should be switched off, plugged out, cleaned wholly and dried for some days.

Defrosting

Moisture in goods and air will change into frost on the low temperature surface of the evaporator ( the inner surface of the cabinet).
The frost will decrease the cooling effect. If the frost thickness reaches 5 ~ 7mm, defrosting should be carried out.

1. Switch off and plug out, and take out all the stored goods.
2. Open the door, and remove the frost by a special defrosting shovel when the frost gets soft.
3. Open the drain hole on the bottom, and open the drain cover on the outer shell. The frost water will go out through the drain pipe.
4. Wipe off all the frost water, then plug in and switch on the appliance.
   When the cabinet temperature reaches the set temperature, put the goods back.

Attention
Do not defrost by metal edge tools or electrical heating tools. They may damage the evaporator.
