Remove the trays and drawers as well as the door catch and seals, to prevent children and pets from getting closed in the appliance.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time, read the following safety hints!
WARNING!
Before first use
▶ Make sure there is no transport damage. Remove all packaging and keep out of children's reach. ▶ Wait at least two hours before installing the appliance in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. ▶ Handle the appliance always with at least two persons because it is heavy.
Installation
The appliance should be placed in a well-ventilated place. Ensure a space of at least 10 cm above and around the appliance. Never place the appliance in a damp area or location where it might be splashed with water. Clean and dry water splashes and stains with a soft clean cloth. Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or in the near of heat sources (e.g., stoves, heaters). Install and level the appliance in an area suitable for its size and use. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance or in the in-built structure clear of obstruction. Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate agrees with the power supply. If it does not, contact an electrician. The appliance is operated by a 220-240 VAC/50 Hz power supply. Abnormal voltage fluctuation may cause the appliance to fail to start, or damage to the temperature control or compressor, or there may be an abnormal noise when operating. In such case, an automatic regulator shall be mounted. Do not use multi-plug adapters and extension cables. Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance. Ensure that the power cable is not trapped by the refrigerator. Do not step on the power cable.

Standards and directives

This product meets the requirements of all applicable EC directives with the corresponding harmonised standards, which provide for CE marking.

NOTICE
Due to technical changes and different models, some of the illustrations in this manual may differ from your model.

The temperature in the refrigerator is adjusted by the temperature controller knob. The gears "MIN, MID, MAX, OFF" on the scale indicate the refrigeration effect. The weaker the refrigeration effect, the higher the temperature inside the cabinet, and the lower the power consumption of the refrigerator. The stronger the refrigeration effect, the lower the temperature inside the cabinet, and the higher the power consumption of the refrigerator. The "MAX" position on the scale is the lowest temperature setting in the refrigerator. This position can be used for quick freezing. After the food is completely frozen, please turn the scale back to the original setting. The "OFF" position on the knob is the shutdown position. When set to this position, the refrigerator will not cool. If the refrigerator needs to be stopped for a long time, please unplug the power cord.
| Proposal | The common gear of the refrigerator is the "MID" position of the scale turned on.If the temperature in the box is too high, please increase the scale appropriately.If the temperature in the box is too low, please reduce the gradient appropriately.Please select the position of the temperature controller knob scale according to the actual needs. |
| Reminder | ■ When the ambient temperature of the refrigerator is high, if the scale number set is large, the ice may not stop, and the temperature in the cabinet may be too low.■ When the ambient temperature of the refrigerator is low, if the scale number is set to be small, the refrigerator may not be started, resulting in high temperature in the box, which is not conducive to food storage and preservation■ After the temperature is adjusted, it takes a period of time to achieve the temperature balance in the box. And the length of this period depends on the size of the changed gear, the ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door, and the amount of food stored in the box |
Before first use
Remove all packaging materials, keep them out of children's reach, and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner. ▶ Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with water and a mild detergent before putting any food in it. ▶ After the appliance has been leveled and cleaned, wait for at least 2-5 hours before connecting it to the power supply. See the INSTALLATION section. ▶ Precool the compartments at high settings before loading with food.

Allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance, as frequent starting may damage the compressor.
Defrosting
The frost zone requires manual defrosting. After using the refrigerator for a period of time, a layer of frost will form on the inner wall of the frost zone. If the frost layer is too thick, it will affect the cooling effect and increase the power consumption of the refrigerator. It is necessary to defrost and clean it in time. If ice has formed on the inner wall of the frost zone, it must be stopped to defrost and clean. Defrosting method: Please unplug the power plug first, take out the food, place it in a cool place, and keep the box door open. At this time, the refrigerator stops cooling and starts defrosting. After the frost layer is completely defrosted, pour out the accumulated water in the water tray, clean the water tray, and put it back in its original position.
Non-use for a longer period
If the appliance is not used for a period of time, you can use the Holiday function for the refrigerator:
Take out the food.
Unplug the power cord.
Clean the appliance as described above.
Keep the door open to prevent the creation of bad odors inside.

Turn the appliance off only if strictly necessary.
Moving the appliance
- Remove all food and unplug the appliance.
- Secure shelves and other moveable parts in the fridge and the freezer with adhesive tape.
- Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45° to avoid damaging the refrigerating system.

Power interruption
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 5 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:
▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible. ▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption. ▶ If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator compartment. ▶ An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption. As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.
Unpacking

WARNING!
The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons.
Keep all packaging materials out of children's reach and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.

Defrosting
The freezing zone requires manual defrosting. After using the refrigerator for a certain period of time, a layer of frost will form on the inner wall of the freezing zone. If the frost layer is too thick, it will affect the cooling effect and increase the energy consumption of the refrigerator. It needs to be defrosted and cleaned in time. If ice has formed on the inner wall of the freezing zone, it must be stopped for defrosting and cleaning. Defrosting method: First unplug the power cord from the outlet, take out the food, place it in a cool place, and leave the cabinet door open. At that time, the refrigerator stops cooling and begins to defrost. After the ice layer has completely melted, pour out the accumulated water from the water tray, clean the tray, and put it back in its original place.
