IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
• Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.
• WARNING: Child entrapment and suffocation are still a danger. Old or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous even though they are not being used.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using The Appliance

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Check to ensure that you have the following parts: 2 shelves and the instruction manual.
• Before connecting the unit to the power source and switching it on, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the risk of a malfunction in the cooling system from movement during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing The Appliance

• This appliance is designed to be free-standing only and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your unit, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
• Allow 125mm of space between the back and sides of the unit which allows sufficient air circulation to cool the compressor and the condenser.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly earthed wall socket. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the 3rd pin from the plug or earth wire from the power cable. Any questions concerning earthing should be directed to a qualified electrician or authorized service company.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall socket, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing food inside the refrigerator.

Electrical Connection

WARNING

• IMPROPER USE OF THE EARTHED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. IF THE POWER CABLE IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE COMPANY OR A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
• This unit should be properly earthed for safety reasons. The power cable is fitted with a 3-pin plug, which is correct for UK wall sockets, to minimize the risk of electric shock.
• DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the 3-pin plug from the power cable supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly earthed. This unit requires a standard 220-240v AC/50Hz electrical outlet with a 3-pin UK socket.
• Have the socket and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to ensure that the socket is properly earthed?
• To prevent accidental injury, the cable should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling.
• The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electric socket with a voltage rating matching the rating label on the appliance. This ensures the best performance and also prevents the overloading of household circuits which could cause a fire hazard if they overheated. NEVER unplug the unit by just pulling on the power cable.
• Always switch off at the electric point first, then grip the plug firmly and pull it out from the socket. Repair or replace ( with the help of a qualified electrician) all power cables that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cable that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. Take care not to damage the power cable when moving the appliance.

Extension Cable

• Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use an extension cable with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cable, it is absolutely essential that it is a 3-pin earthed extension cable with a UK standard plug and socket, and that the electrical rating of the extension cable is 220-240v with a 13amp fuse.

OPERATING THE UNIT

• Se ng the Temperature Control
• The unit only has one control for regulating the temperature of the refrigerator. The temperature control is located on the inside of the appliance (top right).
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to position “6”.
• The range of the temperature control is from position “0” to “6”. After 24-48 hours adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. Setting “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.
• To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”0 ”.

NOTE: Turning the temperature control to the “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait for 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caution

• DO NOT USE BOILING WATER BECAUSE IT MAY DAMAGE THE PLASTIC PARTS. IN ADDITION, NEVER USE A SHARP OR METALLIC INSTRUMENT TO REMOVE FROST AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE COOLING SYSTEM AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. IF NECESSARY, USE A PLASTIC SCRAPER.

Cleaning The Unit

• Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the unit and remove any food and the shelves.
• Clean the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1.13 liters of water.
• Clean the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Squeeze excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the controls or any electrical parts. Clean the outside of the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Replacing the Bulb

• The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for lighting, which features low energy consumption and long service life. In case of any abnormality, please contact the after-sales personnel for visiting service. The lamps can only be replaced by the manufacturer,together with a part of the appliance.

Caution

• FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE UNIT COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.

Power Failure

• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the appropriate steps to protect your food.

Holidays

• Short Holidays: Leave the unit operating during holidays of less than 3 weeks.
• Long Holidays: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug from the socket. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door slightly open for ventilation, wedging it open if necessary.
• Moving The Unit

Remove all the food.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside the unit.
• Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Make sure the unit stays secure in an upright position during transportation.
• Ensure to protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or a similar item.

Energy Saving Tips

• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This minimizes frost build-up inside the unit.
• The compartment of the appliance should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit 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.
