Place your refrigerator where it is easy to use.
2. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct
sunlight or moisture.
3. To ensure proper air circulation around the
fridge-freezer, please maintain sufficient space
on both the sides as well as top and maintain
at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.
4. To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level.
If required, adjust the leveling screw to
compensate for unevenness of the floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear
to aid in door closing.
Leveling screw can be turned easily by tipping
the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise the
unit, counterclockwise to lower it.
5. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off
all dust accumulated during shipping.

outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on
the same outlet.
8. Prior to use, leave your refrigerator on for 2 or 3
hours.
Check the flow of cold air on the evaporator to
ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

OPERATION
DEFROSTING
It is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensure efficient operation.
The frost on the surface of the evaporator should not exceed a quarter of an inch(6mm) before
defrosting.
To defrost, turn the control to '0'.
Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporator and place the drip tray in its
proper position.
When defrosting is completed, remove the drip tray, empty water, dry and put it back to its normal position.
Turn the control dial to a desired position.
CAUTION: Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice tray
from the evaporator.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining
its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead
to higher electric bills!
When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
The temperature in the chiller tray is -6°C~0°C and food appropriate for this temperature range may be
stored here. Food stored here should be covered, as in case of power failure or when defrosting, water
could drip on them. Also please do not store bottles on this tray as they could freeze and crack.

CLEANING
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse
abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap
or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
then dry.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to
prevent odor formation.
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the
power supply, and remove food and shelves, trays
etc. Wash all compartment and shelves, trays etc.
with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry.
WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical
parts. Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge
or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting
into any electrical part and causing a electric
shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning
liquids.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw, turn them all
the way into the base.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on
top of your frozen packages.
