Instructions for Use

1.When operating the refrigerator for the first time ,
run it without loading any food until it reaches
the desired temperature. Usually it takes 2 or 3
hours, then set the thermostatic dial at the
setting desired and put your food in the
refrigerator.

2. The temperature of the refrigerator can be
adjusted by turning the thermostatic dial. A
medium setting of the thermostatic dial is the
most suitable for general operation.

Defrost the refrigerator whenever the layer of
frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches
3 or 4 mm. When defrosting, remove all food
and the ice cube tray and

set the thermostat to
the “OFF” position. Put the drip tray under the
evaporator to collect any melted water. After the
frost has melted, discard the water and dry up
the interior of the refrigerator. The
refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its
thermostat to the desired setting.
