Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
Pull out the power plug prior to cleaning the fridge. Never damage, severely bend, pull out, or twist
the power cord because power cord damage may cause a fire or electronic shock. Never place glass products in the evaporator because they may be broken when their inner contents are frozen.
If possible, connect the fridge to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.
The supply plug of the refrigerator should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Important Safety Instruction
Grounding
(Earthing)
WARNING
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be
2
1m
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the

Installation
Adjusting Leveling Screws
To avoid vibrations the refrigerator has to be placed on
a leveled surface. If necessary, set the leveling screws to compensate the
unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear so that the door can close more easily.
The Leveling Screws can be adjusted by tilting the
refrigerator slightly. Turning the Leveling Screw clockwise, the refrigerator
is raised.
Next
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust
accumulated during transit. Install accessories such as ice tray, shelf, etc., in their
proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during transit
Connect the power supply cord to the AC outlet.
Don’t double up with other appliances on the same outlet.
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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments; catering and similar non-retail applications.

Operation
Starting
When first turning refrigerator on, allow it to operate for at least 2 to 3 hours to stabilize at normal temperature before loading it with fresh food.
If operation is interrupted, allow a 5 minutes delay before restarting.
Temperature Control
NOTE
Too Warm
Too Cold
The DRIP TRAY under the evaporator should be installed exactly to contact with the interior wall.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL regulates the temperature in the evaporator and is displayed in OFF, 1, 2,...7.
Refrigerator Compartment is cooled by the cold air from the evaporator.
Turning the TEMPERATURE CONTROL clockwise will set to a colder setting (higher number setting).
Turning the TEMPERATURE CONTROL counterclockwise will set to a warmer setting (lower number setting).
Setting the TEMPERATURE CONTROL depends on location of the refrigerator, room temperature, and how often the refrigerator door.
10
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 6mm before defrosting.
To defrost, turn the control
to ‘OFF’.
Before you start the defrosting
operation, remove food from the evaporator, and wrap it with paper or cloth, then put it in a cold place or in another refrigerator. Place the DRIP TRAY in its proper position.
If you place a bottle containing warm water in the
evaporator, defrosting time can be reduced. 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 temperature.
CAUTION
Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice tray from the evaporator.

Suggestions on food storage
Storing Food
How food is frozen and defrosted is an important
factor in maintaining 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. Adding too
much warm food to the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to high electric bills.
Do not open doors too frequently. Whenever the door
is opened, warm air enters the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise.
Evaporator Compartment
Do not store bottles in the evaporator compartment
–they may break when frozen. Do not refreeze food that has been completely thawed.
This causes loss of taste and nutritional value.
NOTE
Refrigerator Compartment
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.
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.
Food with odor (fish, cheese, butter etc.) should be
wrapped securely or stored in closed containers.
In case of placing a big bottle in the COMMODITY RACK, if excessive force is used to open/close the door, the bottle may fall down, so be careful.

General Information
Going away
Power Failure
If you move
Anti Condensation
Pipe
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.
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.
Remove all items inside the refrigerator or securely fasten all loose items. To avoid damaging the leveling screw, turn them all the way into the base.
• The Anti-Condensation pipe is
installed around the front side of fridge to prevent dewing.
• Especially after installation or
when ambient temperature is high, the fridge may feel hot, which is quite normal.
When disposing the fridge-freezer, remove the
packing materials from the door.
