4 Preparation
• Your refrigerator should be installed at
least 30 cm away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, central heater
and stoves and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens and should not
be located under direct sunlight.
• It ‘s recommended to place ice-
acumulator directly on the food at the
top compartment for energy saving.
• Please make sure that the interior
of your refrigerator is cleaned
thoroughly.
• If two refrigerators are to be installed
side by side, there should be at least
2 cm distance between them.
• When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
• The door should not be opened
frequently.
• It must be operated empty without
any food in it.
• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for the
problems” section.
• Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
• This appliance is designed to operate
at temperatures specified in the table
below is equipped with Advanced
Electronic Temperature Control
System [AETCS] which ensures
that at the advised setting [4 - four
on the knob] the frozen food in the
freezer will not defrost even if the
ambient temperature falls as low
as -15 °C. When first installed the
product MUST NOT be placed in low
ambient temperatures because the
freezer will not reduce to it’s standard
operating temperature. Once it has
reached its steady operating state it
can be re-located. So you may then
install your appliance in a garage or
an unheated room without having to
worry about frozen food in the freezer
being spoilt. However at low ambient
temperatures mentioned above,
fridge contents are likely to freeze,
so check and consume food in the
fridge accordingly. When the ambient
temperature returns to normal, you
may change the knob setting to suit
your needs.
• If the ambient temperature is
below 0°C, the food in the fridge
compartment will freeze.So, we
recommend you don’t use the fridge
compartment in such low ambient
conditions. You can continue using
the freezer compartment as usual.

5 Using your cooler/freezer
Setting the operating temperature
Warm
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting)
MAX. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Cold
The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position MAX.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember to take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly
after you remove it from the freezer.
