NAMES OF THE PARTS

HOW TO OPERATE

1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry
cloth, the inside with a damp cloth.

2. Keep the door open and insert the power supply cord into the socket.

3. Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator
operate for 15-20 minutes.
The freezer should then show some traces of frost.

You can control the inside temperature by turning the
thermostat dial. Higher numbers mean greater cooling
power, smaller numbers mean less cooling power. To
make ice cubes in the freezer compartment, set the dial
to “7”. The dial does not have to be set exactly on the
numbers, but can be any place in between.

Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about
5mm(1/5inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to “OFF”. Remove foods. Keep drip tray in place. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator
and leave door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to remove ice/frost
from the evaporator. After defrosting empty water from drip tray, return the thermostat
dial to the desired position to start refrigerating again.

1. EVAPORATOR :

The heart of the refrigerator.
It evaporates the refrigerant fluid and thereby absorbs heat
from the surrounding. Made of pure aluminum.

2. DRAIN PAN : Discards the water that drips of the evaporator
when defrosting.

3. CONTROL BOX Regulates the operation of the motor and controls the

inside temperature of the refrigerator.

4. PLASTIC COATED SHELF Has full width and can slide out.

5. MAGNETIC DOOR SEALS Keeps the refrigerator virtually airtight all along

the edge, but is nevertheless easy to open.

6. ICE CUBE TRAY : Ice cubes are easy to remove from the tray.

7. BOTTLE RACK for bottles, cans or jars.

8. USABLE RACK for cans or jars.
