Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of the refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator being divided by the total space of the room in which the refrigerator is installed shall be less than 8g / m³. Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.

2. Heat dissipation space

When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator. Dimensions in mm W D H A B C(°) E F

Note：Figure 1, Figure 2 only as a product space demand size schematic diagram. Level ground Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so as to prevent color change due to heat dissipation. Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an embedded structure. Preparations for use

After the refrigerator is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make sure to energize the refrigerator after more than 1 hour of standing, so as to ensure its normal operation.

Confirm the accessory parts inside the refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.

Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.

After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the refrigerator will be automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools down). If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television set surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible in such case.5 Functions

IV. Instructions for food storage

Precautions for use The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperaturerange for which the refrigerating appliance is designed The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate. The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature controldevice might have to be varied to allow for these factors should be made. Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.Food storage location Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas. The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc. The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time. Use of the fresh food compartment Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time in the fresh food compartment. Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. (For the two-section shelf, push the first section to the rear end, and then pull the second section out). Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage. Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected. Use of the humidity regulating rod of the crisper box The humidity regulating rod is used to preserve moisture inside the crisper box, so as to keep fresh the vegetables and fruits stored inside. When the humidity regulating rod is adjusted to the right side, with more holes exposed, the internal moisture of the crisper box can be maintained at the low level. When the humidity regulating rod is adjusted to the left side, with less holes exposed, the internal humidity of the crisper box can be maintained at the high level. How to use the ice-making box Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible. Cautions for food storage You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand. Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold When the air regulating rod in the freezer is set in the middle position, the fridge temperatures for different gear settings are set out below. Gear setting (°C)

air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall. Categorized storage of foods：Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoid. Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy. Storage of fruits and vegetables In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made. Use of the frozen food storage compartment The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to. The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers. ★ Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment. ★Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up. ★Divide the food into appropriately small portions ★You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor. Tips for shopping the frozen foods 1.When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”, found on the front of the packaging. 2.Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods. 3.Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition. 4.Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. 5.Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler. 6.Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer. 7.For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed. 8.Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw. 9.Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept. Tips for Water dispenser (if this function is available to your appliance) The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have access to cold water almost immediately. The water dispenser includes one tank of 2.5 litres of water which has to be filled out. To use water dispenser, follow the instructions below:

1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the water

dispenser fixed well.

2. Open the filler cover of the water tank, slowly fill

the water tank to prevent any spills until the tank is filled. Then close the filler cover of the water tank. See image C.

3. Once the water tank is full, set the thermostat at

the lowest mode or the Fast Cool mode, and one hour later you can dispense water for drinking. See image D.

4. When using the water dispenser, some water may drip and accumulate at the bottom of

the water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth when necessary.

5. The maximum fill must be lower than the tank cover is indicated by the maximum fill line.

NOTE ：Don't take away the cup until no waterdrop.
