Cautions
Disposal of the old appliance
Before disposing an old appliance, please make sure it’s inoperative and safe. Unplug
the appliance and remove or destroy all of the springs, latches, or bolt-locks in order to
avoid the risk of child entrapment.
It must be noted that the refrigeration system contains insulating gases and refrigerants,
which require specialized waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in a refrig-
erator can be recycled. 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 ques-
tion. Please ensure that the pipe work of your refrigerator dose not get damaged prior to
being picked up by the relevant waste disposal center, and contribute to environmental
awareness by insisting on an appropriate, any-pollution method of disposal.
Disposal of the packaging of your new appliance
All the packaging materials employed in the package of your new appliance may be
disposed without any danger to the environment.
The cardboard box may be broken or cut into smaller pieces and given to a waste paper
disposal service. The wrapping foil is made of polyethylene and the polyethylene pads
and stuffing contain no fluorochloric hydrocarbon.
All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste collecting center and used again
after adequate recycling.
Consult your local authorities for the name and address of the waste materials collect-
ing centers and waste paper disposal services nearest to your house.

*Level the kitchen cabinet unit with a spirit level and a try square. Level the unit by placing
packing material underneath if required.
*A minimum gap of 38mm must be maintained at the back of the appliance for ventilation.
*Air inlet A must be at least 200 cm square and air must flow through the panel in the
cabinet plinth.
*Check that the position of the power socket (1) is correct. AC voltage in the location at
which the appliance is to be used must comply with that as shown on the data plate

Preparation
Installation
1.Check that the kitchen unit door is in the correct operating position.
2.Run the mains cable through the unit such that it can be connected to the power supply
after installing the appliance. Remove the cover (6) only if space is restricted.
3.Place the refrigerator into the kitchen unit. Fix the mountings (1) with screws (2) onto the
upper frame when two third of the refrigerator has been pushed in. Then push the
refrigerator in completely, ensuring that the gib clamp of the mountings stuck on the
horizontal frame of the kitchen unit. Adjust the position of the refrigerator making a 6mm
space between inside wall of the kitchen unit and external sides of the refrigerators. Fix
the mountings to the horizontal frame of the kitchen unit with screws.
4.Insert the seal in the aperture (approx. 10mm) between the lower front frame and bottom
board of the kitchen. Fix lower mountings (3) to the lower front frame with screws (2). Fix
the lower mountings to the bottom board of the kitchen unit with screws (2).

Press close the doors of the refrigerator and of the kitchen unit, and then completely
open the doors, and then place the connecting plate (5)to the corresponding holder and
fix it to the door of the kitchen unit (space between the connecting plate and the edge of
the kitchen unit "t" equals to the thickness of the external board of the kitchen unit, about
20mm).Adjust the connecting element so that the handle side of the kitchen unit door
does not make contact with the unit body when closed. (Approximately 1mm gap for
large appliances), mount the second door connecting element where appropriate.

Red warning indicator(1)
The red warning indicator blinks when
the temperature inside the refrigerator
is below the required temperature.
This is commons when the refrigerator
is first started, or a large volume of
fresh food is placed for freezing
storage.
Circumstances above mentioned are
not problems, and the red indicator will
go out automatically when the tempera-
ture is reached. If the red indicator
blinks in the process of normal opera-
tion, please check: if the door if prop-
erly closed, the fresh food has just
been placed inside, or may have
occured power failure. Please contact
the closet authorized technician for
abnormal circumstances.

Instructions
Long-term storage of food
As the freezer storage temperature is below 18, bacterial actively stops. Food requir-
ing long-term storage can be stored in the frozen food compartment. Attention should
be paid to the storage information printed on the food packing.
Quick frozen food storage
To maintain the nutrition, flavor and shape of the food to be stored, freeze it as quickly
as possible in the quick freezing compartment.
*Operate the quick freezing system (6 hours in advance)
for fresh food: turn the quick freezing switch (4) and the
yellow indicator (3) blinks. (the quick freezing function does
not need to be operated when a small amount of food,
10% less than the designed freezing capacity, or frozen
food is to be stored. )
*The food to be quickly frozen should be placed separately
in more than one drawer.
*The food will become completely frozen 24 hours later.
Then turn the quick freezing switch (4) to close the function
and the yellow indicator (3) goes out..
(4)(3)
Frozen food storage
*The recommended weight of fresh food should not be
excesive 2 kg .
*Hot food should not be stored in the refrigerator until it has
cooled down to room temperature.
*Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier
to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each
portion is less than 2.5kg.
*The outside of any food packing should dried before
storage in the freezer, and any packing materials should
be odor-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
Attention shall be made for the information on the packing.
*Only remove the required amount of food from the
refrigerator. Defrosted food cannot be re-stored in the
freezer unless it is first cooked.
* Do not put in bottled beer or drinks.

Making water-Ice
*Pour water into the water ice mould up to three-
quarters of the mould volume, and then place
the mould in the freezing compartment.
*Do not a use knife or other metal tools to take
the ice out of the mould.
*The ice can be easily removed by hand after
the mould has been placed in warm water for a
short time.
Method to take out the drawers
Pull inward first and then raise slightly as
shown in the figure.
Using marks and sliding labels on
the drawers
*The front side of each drawer is labeled with
information on the correct foods for storage, and
the storage limit in months to ensure freshness
and edibility. Decimal figures mean the period
of freshness storage, and capital figures indicate
the period for edibility storage period.
*The figures indicate the acceptable storage
periods for chicken, beef, shrimps and lamb.
Within a 4 month period freshness can be
guaranteed. Food stored for a period in excess
of 9 months must not be eaten. When placing
food in the refrigerator, move the sliding label
to indicate the type of food stored in the drawer
as a reminder and indication of the acceptable
storage period.

Defrosting-Cleaning-De-commissioning
Defrosting
*Manual defrosting is needed for the cold
storage compartment. After the
refrigerator is used for a period of time, a
layer of ice will form on the evaporator in
the compartment. Additional power will
be consumed if the thick layer of ice is
formed. The ice should cleaned manually
with a plastic tool when the ice layer is
thick enough.
*For defrosting, disconnect the power
supply and remove all the food inside and
the drawers and place them back when
defrosting process if completed. Placing
a bowl of hot water on the evaporator will
help shorten the period of defrosting.
Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heather for defrosting.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors.
*Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
*Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water,
acid or alkali for cleaning.
*Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
1) Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator.
2) Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller.
* Always keep the rubber door seal clean
* Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

failure.
* Don’t put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.
* Avoid opening the door during power failures.
* If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the
top of the cold storage compartment.
* Caution: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of
technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.
