Handling and placement Certain space shall be left around the refrigerator, shown in the figure.

EN During handling, the door side of the refrigerator shall not contact with the handling tools

The refrigerator shall be placed in an environment which is dry, has good ventilation, far from direct sunshine and heat source.

Never place the refrigerator into a too cold environment that may get frozen.

Removing the foam base is beneficial for bottom heat dissipation and can avoid fire.

The refrigerator shall be placed on the flat and firm surface. If the ground is not flat, adjust the adjusting leg to keep it level.

Warm prompt: --When handling the refrigerator, at least two persons are required – one lifts the top of rear part, the other one handles the bottom (if one part is clamped, it is quite dangerous and may cause accident). --When moving the refrigerator, the lower runner may damage and scratch the floor. If you need to move the refrigerator for a long distance, the internal accessories shall be fixed using adhesive tape. Otherwise, the accessories may get damaged due to crashing each other. --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. --Sufficient 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 burn out of the wall and other goods; the contact between the back and wall will cause vibration and noise; --Adjust the front part and adjusting leg 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 appliance

Preparations prior to use 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. 1. Remove fixing tape Wipe with warm and wet cloth

In hot summer, 24 hours are needed to fully freeze the food. Check the refrigerating condition on the second day.

3. Store food after connecting to power for 2-3 hours Do not open the doors frequently to save electricity.

The plastics deodorant will disappear automatically after freezing for a while.

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.
