Well Ventilating

There is need of good ventilation around the refrigerator for easy dissipation of heat,
high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption.For this purpose, sufficient
clear space should be needed around the refrigerator, its back is at least 100mm away
from the wall, its sides at least have a space of 200mm separately and the height from
over its top is not less than 300mm. A clear space should be left to open its doors to
160°.

Power Supply

The refrigerator is only applied with power supply of single phase alternating current
(SEE RATING LABEL).If fluctuation of voltage in the district user is of so large that the

The cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into coil during operation. Moreover,
it is forbidden that cord is kept close onto the compressor at the back of the refrigerator,
the surface temperature of which is quite high when operating. Touching with it would
deactivate the insulation or cause leakage for electricity.

Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.Too much moisture may cause the
metal part to rust.Do not spray water to the appliance,this will cause electric
shock.

Keep freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator,etc.)
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources will increace
electrical consumption.

Place unit on sturdy ground, it must be strong enough to support the freezer
when fully loaded. Do not place the unit on any soft material such as foam or
plastic. Do not place anything that can echo near the unit. To level the freezer,
adjust the front legs accordingly.

Keep freezer away from any combustibles such as gas, petrol, alcohol and etc.
These objects should also not be stored in the freezer.

When fixed or moved, the unit cannot be set upside-down,horizontally or
declined to more than 45°.

voltage exceeds the above scope, for safety sake, be sure to apply A.C. automatic
voltage regulator to the refrigerator. The refrigerator must employ a special power
socket instead of common one other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket
with ground wire.

3.USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR3.USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Temperature control range from position"1"(warmest)to position"5"(coldest).

To turn off the unit,set control to position"0".

During intial operation,set the control"0"position"5".
After 20 minutes,adjust the control to position"3",which is recommend
for normal operation.

4.Cautions

If the unit is unplugged, turned off or power lost,you please wait 3 to
5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before
this time delay, unit will not start.

Unit should be placed in the coolest area of the room to help decrease energy
consumption.If ambient temperature is too high, temperature within the unit may
not reach set temperature.

When door is opened frequently,moisture in the air will form frost on the
interior panels.The frost will weaken the unit's performance when too thick.
Defrost when it's 0.1 or thicker.

Defrosting is operated manually.

Unplug the unit.Remove all food contents and place in a cool area.

Set temperature control to position "0"and leave door open until ice and
frost dissolve completely.

To speed up process,place a bowl of warm water(about 122 F) inside.

Set temperature control back to original setting when finished.

Do not use boiling water as it may damage the plastics.Do not use sharp
or metallic instruments to remove food or frost,this may damage the
evaporator.

If power cord is damaged,it must be replaced for the manufacture.

Before throwing away old unit, remove door and leave shelves in place to
keep children from climbing in.

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the unit.

Plastic parts may easily crack or smell when remain contaminated by oil for a
period of time-please clean on a regular basis.

1. When unit does not work

Power failure.
Unit not plugged in
Blown fuse

2.When unit is cooling excessively
Temperature set too low
Food containing a lot of moisture is placed directly under the cool air outlets, not

a malfunction.

3. When unit is not cooling sufficiently

Food packed too tightly together, interfering with cold air circulation.
Something warm/hot placed in unit.
Door not closed properly.
Door gaskets damaged.
Poor ventilated.
Insufficient clearance between the unit and the walls.
Temperature control not set properly.

4. While defrosting, water overflows onto the floor.
Check if drain pipe or the drain hose is clogged, clean if necessary.
Check if drain pan is housed properly.

5. Cabinet front panel heats up.
In order to safeguard against condensation, there is an anticondensation pipe,

which heats up the front panel when operating.

6. Condensation form on the outside
Condensation will form on the outside of the unit if it's operated in a humid or
