FIRST USE

Before the use of the refrigerator, remove all the packages, including bottom cushion and foam pads and rubber belts in the refrigerator.

Adjust the feet and clear the outside and inside of the refrigerator with warm cloth.

Do not start the refrigerator immediately after vertical placement. Only start it after 2-6 hours standing to ensure its proper operation.

To prevent damage to the power cord and any consequence incidents, the power cord should be not covered by the refrigerator or other objects. Before switching on the refrigerator, please check the voltage range of refrigerator carefully if the same as that of the power supply.

When the refrigerator is first installed, allow it stabilize at normal operating temperatures for 2-3 hours prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

If operation is interrupted, wait for 5 minutes before restarting.

TEST

Clean the parts of the refrigerator with lukewarm water on a soft cloth or with a neutral detergent and with clear water, then wipe them dry.

Notes: Electric parts of the refrigerator can only be wiped by dry cloth.

Turn the thermostat knob on the "3" position and turn on electricity. The compressor and the light inside the refrigerator begin to work.

Close the door and wait 30 minutes. If the temperature in the freezer compartment decreased obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well. When the refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature controller will automatically set the temperature on conditions that the door is not too often opened.

If the above steps are successful, the trial operations are finished. The refrigerator works normally.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Turn the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature inside the refrigerator.

The marks on the knob are not the exact number of the degrees of temperature but the temperature grades to "0" from "7". The first grade corresponds to a forced STOP of the refrigeration and the 7th grade corresponds to the lowest temperature the refrigerator can produce. Turn the knob from "1" position to "7" position, the temperature decreases continuously.

Set the thermostat knob to "3-4" position for a normal use.

Note: the temperature will impact the storage time of food. Set the temperature as necessary. Warmer will accelerate food spoilage and colder will frozen food bad. Thus food to be wasted.

STORAGE OF FOOD

Your appliance has the accessories as the “Structure illustration” showed in general, with this part instruction you can have the right way to storage your food. The glass shelves and crisper can be removed to store food if needed.

Note: Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight plastic boxes.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

Fresh food care for best results:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge compartment.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

Dairy foods and eggs

- Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best before/best by/ date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.

• Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
• Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.

Red meat

• Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
• Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

Poultry

• Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
• Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.

Fish and seafood

• Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
• If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
• Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1-2 days.

Precooked foods and leftovers

• These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
• Keep for only 1-2 days.
• Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

Vegetable container

- The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.

• Take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7°C for long periods: Citrus fruit, melons, aborigines, pineapple, papaya, curettes, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.
• Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
• Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas and mangoes.

COLDEST ZONE IN THE REFRIGERATOR

This symbol indicates the location of the coldest zone of the refrigerator, The area is bounded below by the glass crisper, and above by the symbol or the rack positioned at the same height.

To ensure the temperatures in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. In forced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous.

Temperature indicator setting

To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.

WARNING: This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.

Checking the temperature in the coldest zone

With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.

When the indicator shows « OK », this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the internal temperature correct.

OK

If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator.

When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
