Installation

Remove all packaging material before
using the new refrigerator. This
includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the refrigerator
accessories inside and outside.

Clean both the inside and outside of
the refrigerator with wet cloth (a little
detergent could be added into the
warm water to wash the cloth and
then wipe it again with the clean
water);

Prepare an independent three-pole
socket with grounding contact
/60Hz
not share a multi-purpose socket with
other electrical appliances.

Do not remove grounding prong
from appliance cord or in any other
way adapt the cord to an ungrounded
receptacle.The receptacle must have
a reliable ground back to the service
panel.

Transport and Placing of Your
Refrigerator

Transport

Keep upright and avoid squeezing or
vibration during transport. Avoid a
slant angle over 45 degree during
handling.

Avoid the door or top cap from being
under excessive stress when moving;
otherwise, it may become deformed.

Screws

Open the refrigerator body and take
out the accessory (decorative toe kick
cover ) and the three screws from the

instruction packaging bag; then install
them into the bottom beam as shown
by the schematic diagram on the right.

The decorative cover is non-functional
beam is used as ornament, so you
can choose not to install it. It won't
affect the refrigerator's performance
or conditions whether you install it or
not.



Placement

Place your refrigerator in a well­ventilated place and avoid proximity to
heat sources and direct sunlight. Don't
place it in any humid or wet place so
as to avoid rust and reduction to the
effectiveness of the insulation.

There must be a space not less than
1 inch from the top of your refrigerator
and not less than 1 inch from both
sides or the back of the refrigerator to
the adjacent walls respectively. This
requirement is necessary for door
clearance and proper ventilation.

The refrigerator must be placed on
solid, level flooring (if not flat, you
can use the leveling legs for
adjustment).

Keep Your Refrigerator Standing

If it was necessary at any point to lay
the appliance horizontal or tip beyond
a 45° angle, be sure to allow the
appliance to stand vertically for 24
hours prior to connecting to a power
supply to ensure all lubrication is
allowed to return to the compressor.

Make sure the power cord is not
pinched or pressured by the

refrigerator or other objects so as
to avoid accidents arising from power
wire faults or overheating due to
increased resistance in the cord.
Please ensure the power supply
matches the power requirements of
the appliance prior to connecting it
and switching it on.

Attention

The refrigerator must be disconnected
from the source of electrical supply
before attempting the installation of
any electrical accessories..

Don't use mechanical or heating
equipment or other methods to
accelerate the defrosting process except
the means recommended by the
manufacturer

Don't use any electrical appliances in
the food storage compartments except
any models recommended by the
manufacturer.

The cyclopentane foam insulation
blowing agent used in the refrigerator
is inflammable. All waste and discarded
refrigerators must not be exposed to
open flame.

Start Up

You must observe all safety
precautions and make sure that
your refrigerator has been placed
properly in its final position before
using.

1. Unpacking

Please install the decorative cover for
bottom beam onto your refrigerator
after unpacking and adjust the front
leveling legs to level your refrigerator.
(Installation of this piece is optional
and exists only for aesthetic purposes)

2. Connecting Your Refrigerator to
the Power Supply

Your refrigerator will start in the
factory default state after connecting
to the power supply and it will display
the set temperatures for the refrigerator
compartment and freezer
compartment.

4. Put Food into Your Refrigerator

Depending on ambient conditions it
may take several hours for the cooling
and freezing compartments to reach
their set temperatures. Avoid adding
food to these compartments prior to
set temperatures being reached.

Tips: The interior temperature may
require a certain period of time to
reach balance if the setting
temperature is changed or other food
is put into the refrigerator. Such a
period of time depends on the change
to the setting temperature, the
surrounding temperature, opening
frequency, the amount of the stored
food and etc.

3. Operating Modes of

You can configure your refrigerator in either
of the following two ways:

Auto mode: we suggest you
choose this mode if you have no
special requirements. Your
refrigerator will work automatically
at the factory default settings.

Manual mode: You can set the
temperature by pressing the

temperature adjustment key.Refer to the
section "Appliance Functions" later in this
manual for more details.
