Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and may need help holding the door.

What should I do if my fridge is not cooling enough?

Check the temperature setting, ensure condenser coils are clean, verify door seals are intact, and allow 24 hours after installation for stabilization. If problem persists, contact support.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

The light is an LED type and should be replaced by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to replace it yourself. Contact Cookology support.

2.5 Starting

• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two hours before connecting it to power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.

- Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers or it is subject to distributor statement.

2.6 Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.

- Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

⚠️ Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.

4.2 Defrosting

- The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

4.3 Out of operation

• Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.
• Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open to prevent odor.
• Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the levelling feet; close the doors and fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45^ .

The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance shall not be interrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired

5 Trouble shooting

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If them cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department.

Failed operation	Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contactCheck whether the voltage is too lowCheck whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
Odor	Odorous foods shall be tightly wrappedCheck whether there is any rotten foodClean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation of the compressor	Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is highIt is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same timeFood shall get cool before being put into the applianceThe doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get lit	Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.Have the light replaced by a specialist
Doors cannot be properly closed	The door is stuck by food packagesToo much food is placedThe refrigerator is tilted
Loud noise	Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Door seal fails to be tight	Remove foreign matters on the door sealHeat the door seal and then cool it for restoration(or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows	There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrostingThe doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing	Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal,when housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation	Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise	Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.
