This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Notes on daily use

• Do not put hot food in the machine.
• Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
• Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
• Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
• Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
• Open the door as rarely as possible.
• Do not leave the door open too long.
• Do not set the thermostat too low.
• To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

• Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for possible return shipment.
• Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Ventilation condition

The position you select for the refrigerator installation should be well-ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat source such as cooker, 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 total space of the room in which the refrigerator is installed being divided by the refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator shall not be less than 1 m^3 (space)/8 g(refrigerant).

Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.

Heat dissipation space

When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30 mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at the back side of the refrigerator.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the fridge with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the fridge. The external parts of the fridge can be cleaned with wax polish.

Before plugging in you must check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the fridge.

Before switching on

DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE.

The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.

Before filling your fridge

Before storing foods in your fridge, turn the fridge on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow the fridge to fail to the correct temperature.

Handle attachment

1. Install the handle seat (Item ①) on the refrigerator door using two bolts (Item ②), and then tighten the bolts properly with a cross screwdriver.

2. Clip the handle (Item ③) into the slot of the handle seat (Item ④) from left to right.

GETTING STARTED AND OPERATION

Testing

1. Clean the parts of the refrigerator with lukewarm water containing a little neutral detergent and with clear water, and wipe them dry.

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

1. Turn the thermostat knob to the "2" position, and plug the freezer into the wall outlet. The compressor will begin to run.
2. Check, after 30 minutes of operation, to ensure that the freezer is cold.

Temperature Control

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial. The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.

• 1 is the warmest setting.
- 7 is the coldest setting.
- Set the dial to OFF to turn off the cooling function.
- Under the normal operating condition (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set the temperature at 4.
- In summer when the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended to set temperature at 3-4. so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer temperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuous running time; and in winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set temperature at 5-6 to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerator.

Notes: The temperatures may vary with respect to setting's ones due to compressor cycles and outside conditions.

How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment

• The cook dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their temperature decreases to room temperature.
• Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks,etc..

Placement of food

• Proper place should be left instead of too crowded during food storage.
• Food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic film or fresh keeping paper, then distributed to several frames even to avoid contamination and the loss of water and smell mixture.
• Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing or consumption of electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.

Tips for keeping food perfect in the fridge

• Take extra care with meat and fish
- Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
- Leave space around food
- This allows cold air to circulate around the fridge, ensuring all parts of the fridge are kept cool.
- Wrap up food: To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
- Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.
- Shut the door: To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

Where to store your foods in the fridge

Cool area: This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and lard.

coldest cool coldest cool

Coldest area: This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:

• Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
  • Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
  • Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
• Prepared salads (including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
• Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.

NOTE: Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge. If so, can not put too long. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.

Recommended storage periods: For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
- The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
- Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
- The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
- Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air.
- Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
- Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
- During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odours. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
- During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause and suggested solution
Failed operation. Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact.
Odour Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
Long-time operation of the compressor.	Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
	It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time.
	Foodt shall get cool before being put into the appliance.
	The doors are opened too frequently.
Doors cannot be properly closed.	The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed.
	The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noise Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably.
Door seal fails to be tight. Remove foreign matters on the door seal.
Water pan overflows. There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.
