Identification of Parts

Note

If you find some parts missing from your unit, they may be parts only used in other models.

Installation

Installation

1. Select a good location. Place your fridge-freezer where it is easy to use.
2. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture.
3. There must be proper air circulation around your fridge-freezer to keep it operating efficiently.
4. 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.
5. Clean your fridge-freezer thoroughly and wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping.
6. Install accessories such as ice cube box, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
7. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
8. To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge - freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.

Starting

When your fridge-freezer is installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

If power plug is disconnected, allow 5 minutes delay before restarting.

Your fridge-freezer is now ready for use.

Tip

To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.

Defrosting

Defrosting takes place automatically.

The defrosting water flows down to the evaporating tray and is evaporated automatically.

Suggestions on food storage

Storing Food

Storing Food

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.

Note

If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.

Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

Care and Maintenance

Power Failure

If You Move

Anti Condensation Pipe

General Information

• 1\~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
  • Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape.
• Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.

- The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.

- Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
