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 115V
/60Hz for the refrigerator and it shall
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.

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.

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

Decorative toe kick cover for bottom beam

Placement
Place your refrigerator in a well-

ventilated 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

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.

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)

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

2. Connecting Your Refrigerator to
the Power Supply

Your refrigerator will start in the
factory default state after connecting

to the setting temperature, the
surrounding temperature, opening
frequency, the amount of the stored
food and etc.

to the power supply and it will display
the set temperatures for the refrigerator
compartment and freezer
compartment.

3. Operating Modes of

Your Refrigerator

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.

The refrigerator compartment is designed
to maintain a temperature in the range of
2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and should be
considered as short term storage. Always
ensure items are fit for consumption prior to
ingesting. For longer term storage, place
items in the freezer compartment where
appropriate. Always adhere to supplier

Lower end of fixed leg

recommended storage directions for
consumable items.

French door sealing flap

Please adhere to the warnings on the
French door sealing flap. The flap
contains an anti-condensation heating
source so it is normal that it will feel warm
to the touch. In exceptionally humid areas
or times of the year, it is normal to still see
some accumulation of moisture in this area.
Simply wipe away with a towel or cloth.

Adjustment of cantilever shelf

The cantilever shelves' height can be
adjusted as desired to accommodate
a variety of items. Remove any items
from shelves prior to adjusting.

Please adjust the cantilever shelves
by following the arrows as shown in
the diagram. Raise it upward first and
then take it out by tilting it and pulling
toward you.To reinstall, put the upper end
of the rear wall brackets into one of the upper
slots on the supporting iron first and
then put the lower end of the supports
into position two slots below.

first time, the ice maker starts to
work after the freezer compartment
has cooled for about three hours.
Initial operation may be delayed
depending on ambient conditions
and the amount of product (if any)
which has initially been placed in the
compartment. If no ice appears after
24 hours, refer to the section on
'Troubleshooting' and ensure all
instructions for installation and
operation have been completed
prior to calling for service.

The ice maker is designed for automatic
operation using a plumbed connection.

Do not remove the ice cube tray and
add water by yourself.

Removal, cleaning and installation
of ice tray

lf the ice maker isn't used for a long
period, ice cubes that are just
produced might have unpleasant
odor and / or taste. You must take out
and clean the ice cube tray.

Open the upper drawer in the freezer
compartment, rotate the knob of ice
maker counterclockwise by 90°, turn
the handle from the horizontal position
to vertical position to release the lock
(as shown in Fig. 1 of Pg. 14), pull it
out (as shown in Fig. 2 of Pg. 14) and
take out the ice cube tray.

Rinse the ice cube tray with warm
water (below 60℃) and don't use
detergent as residue can affect the
taste of future ice.

Allow the ice cube tray to air dry
completely before reinstalling in the
appliance as excess moisture could
freeze the mechanism and cause
malfunction.

On the occasion where the ice maker
is immobilized due to ice build up,
remove the tray following the procedure
shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, dispose of ice
and allow tray to dry prior to reinsertion.

No haga funcionar el refrigerador en la presencia de vapores explosivos.

Jamás se apoye en la puerta del refrigerador, puede ocurrir el desajuste de las
bisagras provocando el escape del frio y consecuentemente el mal desempeño
del refrigerador.

Evite el contacto con la placa fría y / o las paredes internas del compartimiento
del congelador con las manos mojadas o húmedas. La baja temperatura de la
placa podria ocasionarle lesiones en la piel.

No salpique agua sobre o a los lados de su refrigerador, pues el hacerlo podría
provocar un mal funcionamiento o descargas eléctricas y las partes metálicas
del refrigerador podrían oxidarse.

En caso de una fuga del gas, no desenchufe o enchufe su refrigerador, ni toque
el refrigerador hasta que la válvula de gas haya sido cerrada y el aire de la
habitación haya sido reciclado. Si usa el termostato de inmediato, pueden
producirse chispas y provocar un incendio.

Si gira el control de temperatura a la posición “OFF” (apagado), se apagará el
compresor, pero no desconectará la corriente a la bombilla o a otros
componentes eléctricos. Para evitar choques eléctricos, desenchufe el
refrigerador antes de limpiarlo y antes de reemplazar la bombilla.

En caso de transporte de su refrigerador, evite inclinarlo a más de 45°.
