4. OPERATION

4.1 Switching On Your Unit

◆The temperature selector knob is located on the middle of the upper beam.

Seing "Min": Less Cool Temperature

Seing "Mid": Normal Operaon(adequate for most situaons)

Seng "Max": Coolest Temperature

During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days. It may be necessary to set the thermostat to the Coolest seng(posion "Max").This may cause the compressor running connuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

◆ For the rst time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at "Mid".

Give your refrigerator me to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature.

4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!

You may noce that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulaon of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introducon of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

◆ Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest drawer.
Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
◆ To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately.
◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
◆ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of mes you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

5. CLEANING

5.1 Defrosng

You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use plasc or wooden ice shovel, for avoiding damage to the liner or pipe)
You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water aer defrosng.
◆ Aer defrosng, put back the foods in cabinet, and power on the refrigerator.

5.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

◆ Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be mely cleaned to improve the cooling eect and energy saving.
◆ Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a so cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
◆ The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
◆ Please turn o the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks ,shelves, drawers, etc.
Use a so cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. Aer cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a so rag, so brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials accumulaon in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.

8. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Warning for energy

1) Refrigerang appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosng of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerang appliance is designed.
2) The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
3) The need to not exceed the storage me(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets;
4) The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosing the refrigerant appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
5) The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosng, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
