3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
When selecting a position for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your appliance near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or terraces/outside seating areas. If you are placing your equipment in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that it is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the appliance's cabinet. Never place the appliance in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when it is working, the metal grid at the back may become hot and the sides warm. Make sure you leave enough space around the appliance so the air can circulate.
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
Recommendation combination:
The following combination of drawers, baskets, and shelves is recommended for energy to be used as efficiently as possible by the refrigeration unit. The shelves placed in factory mode is the most efficient use of energy for the refrigerating appliances.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before placing them back.
Before plugging in
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the appliance.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your appliance
Before storing items in your appliance, turn the appliance on and wait for 4 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it to reach the correct temperature. The appliance will have better performance at ambient of 20-25 degree; We suggest the refrigerator be powered off if the ambient temperature is lower than 10 degrees. After plugging the appliance, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing beverage into the refrigerator compartment. Ventilation is very important for this kind thermoelectric refrigerator; The inside PCB will be broken easily if the ventilation is bad; It will also reduce the life of the refrigerator.
Food preservation and storage.
The storage of foodstuffs must comply with the regulatory conservation temperatures established by the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES). Failure to comply with these storage temperatures involves risks of poisoning and food waste.
| Refrigerator compartments | Type of food |
| Door or balconies of fridge compartment | ·Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams,juices, drinks, condiments. ·Do not store perishable foods. |
| Crisper drawer (salad drawer) | ·Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper bin. ·Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the refrigerator. |
| Fridge shelf – middle | ·Dairy products, eggs |
| Fridge shelf – top | ·Foods that do not need cooking, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers. |
Under the recommended setting, the best shelf life is no more than 3 days in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer (4 stars); The better storage time may reduce other parameters.

4. USE INSTRUCTIONS
The temperature control is located on the top of the refrigerator inside.
To control the internal temperature, adjust the control knob according to the ambient temperature or purpose of use.
The range of the temperature control is from position "0" to "3".
Appliance thermostat has three settings. The appliance assures that temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and that it is used in normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance can be influenced by many factors: ambient temperature, sun exposure, number of door's opening and amount of food stored... The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal.
Setting 1: Refrigerator compartment average temperature 18^ ± 2^
Setting 2: Refrigerator compartment average temperature 15^ ± 2^
Setting 3: refrigerator compartment average temperature 12^ ± 2^
To turn the refrigerator off, turn the temperature control to "0".
When the surrounding temperature is 25^ and the cellar has no load, it will take 3,5 hours to decrease the cellar's temperature from 25^ to 17^ .
The cellar is recommended to be designed at 17^
The energy consumption is 0.205kWh / 24h . If the setting temperature is higher than 17^ , the energy consumption will be lower. If the setting temperature is lower than 17^ , the energy consumption will be higher.
NOTE:
- Turning the temperature control to "0" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator.
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before - Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
Do not leave the door open for too long so that the indoor temperature does not rise too much.
5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrost
The refrigerator applies automatic defrosting system, so there is no need to defrost it manually.
Cleaning inside the appliance
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. After defrosting you should clean the appliance internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back. Condensation will form on the back wall of the appliance; however, it will normally run down into the drain hole.
Cleaning outside the appliance
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the outside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the appliance and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Moving the unit
- Location
Do not place your equipment near a heat source, for example. Stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct sunlight.
When selecting a location for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. An average ambient temperature must be observed. This temperature is specific according to the climatic class of the device:
N: This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16^ to 32^
- Do not turn on the appliance for 30 minutes
After any movement, it must not be connected for 30 minutes. This time allows the coolant to adjust.
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave enough space around the appliance so the air can circulate.
When install a Heat pipe Refrigerator, ventilation should be considered seriously, please refer to the following: There should be left at least 200~cm^3 for ventilation The distance between wall and refrigerator side should be at least 20mm The bottom should be left at least 50mm for air flowing air passing through must not be preheated The following four pictures show four installation ways: Entire cooling system should be considered in the ventilation
Turn off your appliance
If the unit is not likely to operate for a long period of time:
- Remove all items from your appliance.
- Switch off the appliance by setting the thermostat to position "0".
- Unplug the appliance.
