POSITIONING

The unit should be placed in a ventilated and dry environment. Do not put the unit in direct sunlight, and keep it as far as possible from heat sources.

The unit should be placed on flat and stendy ground. Keep the unit level by adjusting the front leg levelers.

Don't put the unit in cold area.

There should be enough, spare space around the unit as shown, to allow proper ventilation.

No less than 10cm from the back of the refrigerator to the adjacent walls respectively. This requirement is good for open and close of the door and also for heat emission.

OPERATION CHECK

Make sure the unit has been placed properly and all instructions have been observed.

Adjust the control knob to the middle position, and then plug in the unit. After closing the door for several minutes, both side of cabinet becomes warm.

Wait 30 minutes and open the freezer compartment door. If you can feel cold air, the unit works properly.

You can set the desired temperature in the compartment after a certain period of time.

FOOD STORAGE

Default temperature in the fresh compartment is between 0-4 degrees C, and although this lower temperature limits bacteria propagation, it is not suitable for a long period of food storage.

FRESH FOOD STORAGE

Cooked food should be cooled down to room temperature before it is stored in the refrigerator.

It is better to put the food in a sealed bag before placing it into the refrigerator.

In order to keep vegetables fresh in the crisper, any water should be removed first, otherwise the vegetables may spoil.

If vegetables are put into a bag, they can be stored for a longer period of time.

FOOD STORAGE

CONTROL KNOB

It is used to adjust the desired temperature of the different compartment.

R-TEMP control knob

F-TEMP control knob

The user can adjust cooling or freezing temperature by turning the control knob located at the back of the cooling zone cabinet. Refer back to the above picture.

The left knob is used to control cooling temperature, while the right one is to control the freezing temperature.

R-TEMP control knob

• Turn the knob clockwise, the cabinet temperature will be cooler.
• Turn the knob counter-clockwise, the cabinet temperature will be raised.

F-TEMP control knob

• Turn the knob counter-clockwise, the cabinet temperature will be colder.
• Turn the knob clockwise, the cabinet temperature will be raised.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

The temperature of the freezer is colder than -18^ . Frozen food can be stored for longer periods of time.

After buying frozen food, please put it into the freezer compartment as soon as possible.

FOOD STORAGE

Any hot food must be cooled down to room temperature before it is put into the freezer.

Please do not put glass containers filled with liquid into the freezer compartment as the glass may break.

It is better to sort the food before putting it into the freezer. Storing the same type of food together will help minimize the time during which the freezer door is open and, do a result reduce energy consumption.

The food should not be put too close to the outlet or inlet of the airflow. Doing so may affect the air circulation.

DOOR TRAY

There are some ventilation holes on the bottom of the door tray, please try not to block them all when putting the food in.

ICE TRAY

Fill the tray with cold water to near the top of each compartment. The fuller the stray, the more likely it could spill taking it from faucet to freezer.

When the cubes are fully frozen, twist the knob to separate the ice from the cubes, and recover the ice from the below box. Do not over-bend the ice maker tray to avoid breaking it.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

The unit should be cleaned frequently both inside and outside using water and a little neutral detergent. Never use boiling water, harsh cleaning agents, acid, alkali or benzene etc.

WATER PAN CLEANING

Make sure the fridge is unplugged before you take out the water pan.

The water pan is located at the back of the cabinet. Its function is to collect and evaporate the defrost water. It usually does not need special care, but if water is over flowing and an odd smell emanates from it, it may need to be checked and cleaned.

Pull out the power cord first. Lift the water pan up a little, and then pull it straight out carefully. (Caution: make sure the discharge pipe is not too hot). After cleaning, remix the water pan in its original position. Make sure that the pipe is on top of the water pan before you push in it the original position.

LEAVING THE UNIT SWITCHED

If the unit is switched off for a long time, it should be unplugged and thoroughly cleaned. Make sure to leave the door slightly open, and place the unit in a well-ventilated area to avoid any odour.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service, please check the following issues first:

The reason of the trouble

Trouble	Possibility
The unit doesn't work	• Power is not on. • Low voltage
The unit works inefficiently	• The control knob is set at a "low number" position • Too much food in the unit • Hot food in the unit • Door opened & closed too frequently • There is a heat source nearby • The unit is exposed to direct sunlight
Noise	• Floor is not flat, and the unit is not placed steadily. • Contents are not placed in the right position
Food frozen	• Is the control knob set at proper position? Too high? • Is the food near the outlet of cold draught

TROUBLESHOOTING

FOLLOWING PHENOMENON IS NORMAL

The rivulet type of sound emanating from the unit is caused by the refrigerant flowing inside of the system pipe.

While the unit runs, heat radiates from both sides of the cabinet.

When the weather is too humid, the edges around the door may have a little moisture, wipe it with a dry cloth.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB

Please contact the service agent or similarly qualified persons if the light needs be changed.

Before changing the light board, please unplug the fridge first, then pull down the light cover and change the light board according to the picture, as shown above.

Energy Saving Tips

• 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.
