Installing the door handle (Optional)

CAUTION
CAUTION: Figures in the user manual are only for reference. The actual product may differ slightly.
The refrigerator must be disconnected from the source of electrical supply before attempting the installation of the accessory.
STEP
- Take out two plug pins from the door (side of door open).
- Install the door handle to the door and fasten it with screws.
- Cover screw caps of the handle into screw holes.



Leveling feet
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to lower it.
Moving the appliance
- Remove all food from inside the appliance.
- Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the power plug hook at the rear or on top of the appliance.
- Tape parts such as shelves and the door handle to prevent them from falling off while moving the appliance.
- Move the appliance with more than two people carefully. When transporting the appliance over a long distance, keep the appliance upright.
- After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket to switch on the appliance.

WARNING
Precautions before operation:
Before making changes, the refrigerator must be disconnected from the power supply.
Precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.

WARNING
After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
Placement
- Before use, remove all packing materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads, and tapes inside of the refrigerator; tear off the protective film on the doors and the refrigerator body.
- Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
- Do not spray or wash the refrigerator; do not put the refrigerator in moist places easy to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties of the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator is placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat and sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for leveling if unstable).
Tips for energy saving
- Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other heat sources. If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
- Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance, and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
- Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter "Installation".
- The arrangement of drawers, shelves, and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy.
- To obtain a larger storage space (e.g., for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.
- An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
- Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
- Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases the energy efficiency.
- Operating the doors briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss and closing them properly reduces energy consumption.
- The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.
