3. Do not install where the refrigerator is exposed on a direct sunlight or other heat sources.

4. Install in a atmosphere which is dry or has air ventilation.

space of at least 5 cm over the top and 5 cm at rear and 1 cm at both sides for proper air circulation.

Before use

1. Cleaning inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surface gently with soft cloth.

2. Connect the refrigerator to an exclusive wall power outlet.
The refrigerator can be connected to an outlet soon after it is installed.
Surely use with the rated voltage and exclusive power outlet.

3. The compressor will start running in approximately 30 seconds,
if inside is not cold.

4. Allow enough duration for sufficient cooling before storing food.
It may take about 4 hours to fully cool down and could even take about

4 hrs.

24 hours when the ambient temperature is high.

Food storage

1. Keep enough space between food. Several food placed to
close together may obstruct the flow of cold air.

2. Make food cool enough before putting it in the refrigerator.
Putting warm food in the refrigerator raises the inside temperature and wastes electricity.

3. Do not block the cold air vent. This will adversely affect the cold air flow and may not keep
the temperature inside even. Moreover, it could result in food near the vent freezing.

4. Using food wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying or transition of smells.
