TRANSPORTING
Keep the refrigerator upright and avoid squeezing or vibration
during transport. Avoid a slanting angle over 45 degrees during
handling. Avoid the door or top cap from being under excessive
stress when moving, otherwise it may become deformed.
Do not connect your refrigerator to the power supply immediately after it is
placed vertically. You should keep it standing for at least 3 hours before
CAUTION
connection to let it settle.
INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging material and adhesive tape before using your 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 a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water.
Positioning your refrigerator
Place your refrigerator in a well ventilated area away from a heat source and direct
sunlight. Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet location as this may cause
damage to the insulation and result in leakage. Condensation may also build up on the
outer cabinet causing rust.
Use the front two adjustable feet to level the refrigerator. Rotate the feet in a clockwise
direction to raise the refrigerator and anti-clockwise to lower. Ensure the refrigerator
slightly tilts backwards so that the drawer and door self-close to provide a consistent
closed seal.
Allow for adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
There should be a clearance of at least 200mm from the
top of your refrigerator, a minimum of 30mm from both
sides of the refrigerator, and 50mm at the back of the unit
to allow for adequate ventilation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controlling the temperature
The temperature of the refrigerator can be controlled manually
by adjusting the temperature dial (page 4 item 2). Turn the dial
to MAX position for coldest temperature or MIN position if a
warmer interior temperature is required.
The “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the refrigerator.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then remove the power
cord from the outlet. This will make sure there is no chance of electric shock.

Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth
and lukewarm soapy water. Wipe away any food spills thoroughly. Dry all surfaces and
removable parts. Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have taken out
any removable parts, replace them and switch on the power before re-stocking the
refrigerator.
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Door seal
Take care to keep the door seal clean. Sticky food and drink can cause the seal to stick
to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash the seal with a mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners,
metal polishers, caustic or abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance
as they will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator. When cleaning,
using only a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water.

shock.
Replace the light bulb with a Max. 15W illuminating lamp.
1.
Unplug the power and remove the lighting lamp shade on
the arrow as specified in the drawing.
Replace the old bulb with a new 15W bulb.
2.
3.
Replace the lamp shade and plug in the refrigerator.
Please check the points below after maintenance:
(1) Is there any damage to the power lead?
(2) Can the power plug be inserted into the power socket correctly?
(3) Is the power plug and/or lead heating up?
DEFROSTING
Heavy frost will effect the freezing process or internal temperature of the appliance and
increase the power consumption. Thus, defrosting is required if the frost is >4mm thick.
Defrosting is a manual process. Please follow these steps:
1.
Switch off and disconnect the appliance.
2.
Remove all food from the fridge.
3.
Open the door and wait for the ice to defrost. Place a container under the freezer to
catch the melted ice.
When defrosting, a plastic scraper or plastic utensil may be used. Never use metal
4.
instruments or electrical appliances to defrost the fridge.
To speed up the defrosting process, you can carefully place a bowl of hot water in the
5.
freezing compartment and close the door.
When defrosting is complete, wipe down the inside of the fridge.
6.
Replace the drawer and food before restoring power.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Reduce opening the door frequently. This will increase the appliance efficiency and
1.
reduce power consumption.
2.
To maintain good air circulation within the refrigerator cabinet, keep the shelves, fruit
and vegetable drawer in the original positions as supplied.
There should always be some space between food items for proper air circulation.
3.
Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the
4.
interior temperature and power consumption will increase.
DISCONNECTION OF THE APPLIANCE
If unplugging the appliance from the power outlet, please leave at least 5
minutes before re-connection.
CAUTION
Power failure
1.
During a power failure, do not put additional food in the appliance and reduce
opening the door.
If power failure is anticipated beforehand, place several ice cubes into a container
and place in the top of the refrigerator.
2.
Power failure during vacation
Before departure of a short vacation, remove any items that could spoil if a power
failure occurs, and ensure the door is closed firmly.
If going on a long vacation, remove all items, clean and wipe dry the internal of the
appliance, disconnect the power and leave the door open.
3.
Storage of appliance
If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for a long period of time (storage), remove
all items, unplug the appliance from the power outlet, clean and wipe dry the interior.
The door should be wedged open slightly for air circulation in order to prevent
unpleasant odours.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before
calling for service. Y ou may locate the problem and spare yourself from inconvenience, saving time and
money.
SYMPTOM SUGGESTION
R is not operatingefrigerator
Unusual noise
· Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly
and that the outlet is switched “ON”.
· Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is
coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a
circuit of your household power supply.
· Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
· The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause
gurgling, similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the
appliance.
· It is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator
starts operating.
· Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take
action. For example, noises may mean that:
- The cabinet is not level.
- The floor is uneven or weak.
- Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
- There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside
the refrigerator.
- The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
Compressor seems to run
more than expected
Temperature in the refrigerator
is too warm
Food is frozen inside the
refrigerator compartment
The door will not close
The following cases are not malfunctions:
· Is door kept open too long or too often?
· Are controls set too cold?
· Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored?
· If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need
to run more than normal.
· The refrigerator will run more than normal just after you install it or
when it has been turned off for a long time.
· Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back
and top. Refer to installation instruction on page 5.
· Refer to “Controlling the temperature” on page 7.
· You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
· Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
· Check if the food is placed near the air outlet.
· Check whether the front of the refrigerator is tilted back slightly to
allow the door to self close.
· Check whether something is holding the door open.
Moisture may form as condensation on the outside of the appliance during humid conditions. To remove
excess moisture, wipe clean.
It is normal that the sides of the appliance and the turnover beam will get warm as a result of the
refrigeration system operation.
The appliance operation could cause electrical interference to electrical equipment.
