What you have bought is a safe and reliable refrigerator. With appropriate use and maintenance, it will be in service for years. The last page of this User’s Manual sets out specifications of this appliance and the performance dat a indicated in the rating plate are test results obtained at an ambient temperature range of 16~32°C.
Important!
It must be noted that a refrigeration system contains
refrigerants, which require specialised waste disposal.
Contact your local waste disposal center for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact your local authority or your dealer if you have any question. Please
ensure that the pipe work of your refrigerator does not get
damaged prior to being picked up by the relevant waste disposal center, and contribute to environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate, anti-pollution method of disposal. Please see the rating plate for the type of refrigerant and insulation used.
The plug should be accessible after the appliance is positioned.
If the power c ord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power cord from the manufacturer or an authorised service agent.

1.Environmental Protection and
Proper Disposal
Package materials
The appliance is packaged in a way to prevent damages during transportation. Recyclable materials are used.
The packing box is made of corrugated board / cardboard (mainly from recycled paper).
·Polystyrene parts (CFC-free foamed polystyrene)
·Linings and polyethylene bags
·Polypropylene straps
3.Installation
a) Remove all packaging materials.
b) Remove items in the refrigerator.
c) Make sure to remove film and tape on the cabinet and
the door.
d) Remove polystyrene chips (if any) around the
refrigerator.
e) Take out accessories and literature in the refrigerator.
f) Clean the inside of the refrigerator with luke warm
water and vinegar and then dry it with a soft cloth.
g) Use the spanners supplied to adjust the leveling leg to
ensure the refrigerator is stable.
All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste collecting center and used again after adequate recycling.
All waste materials should be disposed of properly.
2.Location
Make sure the refrigerator is kept upright during handling. If an inclination is required, it should not exceed 45 degrees. Other wise the appliance may get damaged
resulting ompromised refrigeration performance.
To avoid product damage or person injury, the refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is located in a previously selected position.
Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no visible exterior damage.
When handling the refriger ator, do not lift it by holding the worktop, to prevent any damage to the refrigerator.
Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.
Check the refrigerator carefully for:
- Damaged package due to inappropriate handling
during transportation
- Damage in the exterior
- Damage in power cord / plug
Any doubt, please contact Customer Service for a
thorough inspection of the appliance. Take necessary measures to prevent leakage of
refrigerant at the start-up of refrigerator that may resu lt in environmental pollution.
Do not us e detergents, sharp or pointed instruments
or soda-based cleansers to clean the refrigerator.
· Before installation, make sure the refrigeration system
is free of any damage.
· The refrigerator should be used for its intended purpose only.
· The refriger ator should be positioned on a solid and
even floor to ensure refrigerant circulation and refrigerating performance.
· If possible, position the refrigerator in a cool and dr y
well ventilated room.
· Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunshine and make sure the ambient temperature is not extremely high.
· Keep the refrigerator from a heat source, such as
heating sustem, oven or cookers. Otherwise the compressor will operate more frequently resulting in extra power consumption.
If the refrigerator will be placed near a h eat source, it is recommended to install a thermal barrier between the
refrigerator and the heat source (asbestos is prohibited) or maintain adequate space between the refrigerator and
the heat source as follows:
the heat source as follows:
Cooker or electric stove 3 cm Radiator or oven 30 cm Another refrigerator 2 cm
Do not place any rad iating apparatus, such as microwave oven or toaster, on top of the refrigerator.
Make sure the air vent is not obstructed.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it strai ght out from the outlet.

Warning!
After the refrigerator is positioned, allow it to stand still for at least 12 hours before starting it up to ensure stable refrigerant circulation and faultless operation.
Before starting up the refrigerator, make sure the inner compartment is dry (especially corners).
Danger!
Depending on the chemical composition, the refrigerant may be flammable. The leak-proofness of refrigerant circulation system is test proven. Unauthorised intervention of the refrigerant circulation system may cause fire.
Make sure the refrigerant circulation system and the peripheral parts of compressor are not affected.
Any intervention of the refrigerating system should be conducted only by qualified engineers.
Warning!
Refrigerant getting into eyes can cause serious inj ury. In
this case, rinse the eyes under running water and consult an ophthalmologist without delay.
Write down the technical data for later reference to avoid the need for moving the refrigerator when such data is needed.

5.Electric Connection
The refrigerator should use a properly grounded outlet which should be checked by a qualified electrician. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating and a fuse rating in conformity with the rating plate.
In case of nonconformity, consult the local service center or the dealer immediately.
The refrigerator should not be connected with a converter (such as solar cell)
Do not use an extension cord.
The refrigerator should be used within an appropriate range of room temperature by its climate type.
The range of room temperature for a sp ecific climate type
should be observed. See the rating plate for the climate type of your appliance.
