OPERATION

Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps must be made by kogan.com, an authorised service agent or similarly qualified person. Do not repair or replace LED lamps yourself.

Starting

• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two hours before connecting it to the power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall run for 2-3 hours or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Spare enough space for the convenient opening of the doors and drawers.

Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be 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 aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organise 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.

Note:
Cancel any active functions (e.g. vacation mode or quick-freezer mode) before changing the freezer’s set temperature.

First Use

1. Affix the lower shelf inside the refrigerator as shown in “Cleaning & Care”.
   Note:
   If the door is misaligned, refer to the adjustment instructions above (also located in the lower left comer of the refrigerator’s right panel) to adjust.

2. Connect the refrigerator to the power supply. After being connected to power, the refrigerator will show the current chilled and frozen temperature. The refrigerator has a Power-down memory, the first time when it is power on and then every time will be set up at the last power-down operation.

3. The refrigerator will begin operation. The Temperature Control keys can be used to set the temperature.

4. Place food into the refrigerator. After allowing the refrigerator to operate for some time to fully cool, it is ready for use.

Note:
When the temperature is set to change or put new food into the refrigerator, it will take some time for the inside temperature to equalize. The length of this period depends on the size of the temperature change, the temperature of the surrounding environment, the frequency of the door being opened and the amount of food being placed inside.

CLEANING & CARE

Defrosting freezer
The freezer compartment will defrost automatically, with no need for manual intervention.

Overall cleaning

• Ensure dust behind the refrigerator and on the ground is cleaned regularly to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odour.
• Turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally. Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc. and
• Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soap water, detergent, etc. and then wipe dry.
