SAFETY NOTES
- Whencomparing rated refrigerators,please check therefrigerator type andserial number.
- Beforeconnecting the power, please check if the refrigerator voltage range iscompliant
with thesupply voltage. The voltage range is 187-242V; to assure the use safely, the socket
and theconnecting wire mustsupport the circuitabove 10A;
- Whenthe refrigerator isconnected, the foodshould not beput into ituntil it iscooled
completely;
- Duringpower failure, therefrigerator should notbe connected untilfive minutes laterto
avoid anydamage to thecompressor;
- Donot touch theevaporator of thefreezer with wethands in casethe water onthe hand
freezes andsticks;
- Donot put foodstuff nearthe temperature sensorto avoid affecting thecorrect display of
temperature;
- Itis not necessaryto leave thedoor open fora long periodor frequently openand close in
high-temperature season,as this willreduce the unit'sefficiency and increase load during
the operation;
- Keepin mind notto overturn therefrigerator or positionhorizontally. When it is necessary
to incline,theslope between therefrigerator body andthe ground shouldbe larger than45
degrees;
- Donot move therefrigerator with thedoor handle orpull the handleup and downwith
extreme force;
- Pleaseclose the drawerbefore closing therefrigerator door toavoid damaging thedrawer;
- Whena lot ofhot things areput into therefrigerator once orthe door isopen frequently or
left openfor a longperiod , thetemperature in therefrigerator will increaseand the temperature displaywill flash. Usuallyit will returnto normal within24 hours;
WARNING
- Keepventilation openings, inthe appliance enclosureor in thebuilt-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
- Donot use mechanicaldevices or othermeans to acceleratethe defrosting process,other
than thoserecommended by themanufacturer.
- Donot damage therefrigerant circuit.
- Donot use electricalappliances inside thefood storage compartmentsof the appliance,
unless they are of thetype recommended bythe manufacturer.
PRE-RUNNING ISSUES
1. Disassembleall packaging components.The foam bottom mat must be
removed beforeoperating the unit.
2. Wipethe inner andouter of therefrigerator with warmand wet cloth
(It is to adda little neutralcleanser to thewarm water).
3. Letit stand forabout 1 hourand then plugin.
Be carefulto operate correspondinglyin accordance withthe content

INSTALLATION AND NOTESPOSITIONING
The groundon which therefrigerator is placedshould be flatand
firm. Ifsome unevenness exists,the refrigerator levelcan be
adjusted through rotating the adjustablefeet under therefrigerator
body (counterclockwisedirection means rising).
At thebottom of theadjustable foot isan adjustable holewhich can
be easilyinserted by simpletools such asphilips driver, etc. for the
regulation. (seeleft picture)
The distancesbetween the walland the backand the sideof
refrigerator shouldnot be lessthan 55mm. The height above
the topshould not beless than 300mm.
The refrigeratorshould be keptaway from theheat source, and
avoid thedirect sunlight.
-Do not place the unit in a humid environment to avoid the metal
components get rusted and reducing the insulation effect. Besides
the wire, the leakage protector must be installed if the unit is placed
near humid areas such as the water pool and the basement.
-If the refrigerator is flooded by water in a natural disaster (such as
