INSTALLATION
1. Select a good location.
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.
6. Install accessories such as ice tray, shelf, etc.,
in their proper places.They are packed together
to prevent possible damage during shipment.
7. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the
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.
9. When you put in a power cord, please refer to
the label situated on the back plate in order to
classify the rating.
10. This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas
in shops, offices and other working environments;

OPERATION
STARTING
When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature
prior to filling it with fresh food.
If operation is interrupted, allow a 5 minute delay before restarting.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your refrigerator has a control that let you regulate
the temperature in the refrigerator.
Initially, set the control at mid-position.
For colder temperatures, adjust the control to a
higher number, and for warmer temperatures, adjust
the control to a lower number.
ICE MAKING
● To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place
it on the evaporator.
● To remove ice cubes, hold the tray at its ends and twist
gently.
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray
before twisting.

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.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild Detergent in
warm water.
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.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a Soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax, bleach, or other
products containing chlorine on stainless steel.
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.
