Installation Instruction

Installation Requirements

The appliance should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated room. Since the performance and energy consumption of the refrigerator can be affected by the ambient temperature, the following instructions should be ensured:

• Don't expose the appliance to direct sunlight,
• Don't install the appliance close to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat,
• Place the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification for which it is designed. You can find the climate classification on the circuit-diagram-serial-plate located at the left-upper side of the appliance. The following table shows this climate classification and its matching ambient temperature:

Climate classification Ambient temperature
SN 10~32°C
N 16~32°C
ST 16~38°C
T 16~43°C

Your appliance will be heavy when loaded with foods and must therefore be placed on a strong firm floor and ensure the power socket is accessible.

Ventilation Requirements

Ensure that the air could circulate freely around the cabinet. There should be 100mm between the top of the appliance and any overhanging furniture, and a gap of 25mm on either side of the appliance.

Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Parts that heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but remember to leave the suitable distance required for ventilation.

Leveling

The appliance should be level in order to eliminate rocking. To make the appliance level, it should be upright and both adjusters should be firmly contacted with the floor. You can also adjust the level by screwing out the appropriate level adjuster at the front (use your fingers or a suitable spanner), but much care should be taken when moving this appliance since it should be heavy.

The supply cord

Note:

Due to unceasing modification of our products your refrigerator may be slightly different from this Instruction Manual, but its functions and using methods remain the same.

Freezer chamber

It is for freezing and storing frozen foods and making ice cream, etc.

Ice tray

It is for making ice, pour cool boiled water into ice tray up to 4/5 of its volume, place it in freezer room for 2 hours and the ice can be made automatically When you want to take ice tubes, please twist the ice tray slightly, and the ice tubes are separated form the ice tray. But do not bend it, otherwise it will crack.

Notes: Technical information

Because it takes a long time to make ice tubes, you can not hold the ice tray directly when take out the ice cubes to avoid the ice tray sticking and hurting your hands.

Drawers in freezer

It is for freezing or storing foods. You must cut the big meat into small pieces to avoid hard cutting when cook. The quick-freeze foods must be evenly placed in drawer, and put them together to store after freezing.

Using Your Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foods. And it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16^ and 38^ . If the temperature exceeds that designed, either colder or warmer, the appliance will not work effectively and correctly. Should the ambient temperature be exceeded for long period, the temperature in the freezer will rise above -18^ and food spoilage may occur.

Before use

Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water added with a little bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Do not use soap or detergent since the smell may linger. After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly.

To start the appliance

Operating instructions

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and turn on the power.
3. Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A midway setting is usually suitable for normal operation.
4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours to reach the correct temperature before placing food inside.

Thermostat Control

The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the freezer compartment.

• Position“MIN”-Cold.
• Position“NORMAL”-Colder normally, setting at this position.
• Position“MAX”-Coldest.

The temperature will be affected by:

• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary. Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

The freezer compartment

The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18 °C (-0.4F) or colder allowing for long term frozen-food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the temperature settings may be required.

These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the frozen food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise rapidly after removal.

Freezing fresh food

Place the fresh food in the top freezer drawer. Food may need rearranging to achieve this. During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small as possible to avoid damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes place slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.

Turn the switch to "SUPER"24 hours before loading the food. Existing frozen food should be rearranged to leave space in the top two drawers for freezing. The packets to be frozen should be placed in the drawer in contact with the drawer surface as far as possible and spaced apart to allow cold air to circulate between them. They should not touch existing packets.

If there is enough room, transfer the food you have frozen to the baskets or drawers to allow you to freeze a further load in the top drawer. No harm will result if you forget to turn off the fast freeze switch after 24 hours, but by reason of economy, try to remember to turn it off when freezing is complete. Exceptionally large items can be stored by removing the upper basket. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".

For safety reasons, the freezer baskets are fitted with stops but are readily removed by

pulling them forward to the stop, then lifting the front and pulling all the way out. Refit by reversing this procedure.

Frozen food storage

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen food. Do not place sealed containers or carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates pressure on the container which may cause it to explode leading to damage to the freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not be consumed immediately after removal from the freezer as it may result in low temperature skin abrasions.

Hints and Tips

Food storage

To use your appliance more effectively, evaporator should be placed in the larder compartment. Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it. Store in original container is advisable. Please place the frozen foods you bought into the freezer as soon as you arrive home, and make sure:

• Do not push food together too much.
• Try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.

Ensure the foods placed in the freezer are dated and labeled, and used them in date order, so you can consume them at its best. Remember to remove suspect food from your freezer and keep it cleaning inside.

Energy saving advice

Do not locate the appliance close to heat sources such as cookers, dishwashers or radiators. Make sure the appliance is placed in a cool well-ventilated room so that the air can circulate very well.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into sealed packages. Avoid keeping the door open for a long time, for the warm air outside will enter the cabinet as well as the cold air inside will leak out of the cabinet, which will cause energy wasting. Ensure there exists no obstruction preventing the door from closing properly.

In the event of a power failure

If there is a power failure when the appliance works, don't open the door. If the temperature inside your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its state.

The following guidelines will assist you:

• Ice cream once thawed should be discarded.
• Bread and cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
• Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
  Cooked dishes: i.e. casserole should be refrigerated and used up.
  Large pieces of meat: Can be refrozen if there are ice crystals remaining within them.
• Small joints: Should be cooked and then refrozen as cooked dishes.
• Chicken: Should be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.
