7. The product is equipped with adjustable feet. Once the product is in place, adjust

First Time Use
1. It is important that upon receipt you stand your appliance upright for at least 4
hours before switching on to allow the system to settle
2. When using the refrigerator for the first time, set the thermostat inside the
refrigerator to 5 without any food inside. When the refrigerator starts, you will hear
the quiet hum of the compressor. You may also hear the circulation of liquids and
gases in the refrigeration system. This is normal on first start up, Generally it will
take 2-3 hours for the appliance to reach temperature. Once temperature has been
reached then put the food inside.
3. The temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted by rotating the disc of the
thermostat. The higher the value on the setting of the thermostat, the maximum
value of refrigeration (coldest being 7 ). Typically a medium setting of 4-5 is best for
most circumstances.
4. Do not put too much food in the refrigerator. Avoid opening the doors too frequently as this will waste energy and can cause excessive frost build-up.

Food Storage Tips
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Dairy and muliti-purpose Guard
• Store fatty foods, like butter and cheese.
• Store small, packed foods, like milk, yogurt
and beverages.
Refrigerator compartment: 1°C to 5°C
This is the area where the food should be
stored to be kept cold/chilled:
• Note: raw and uncooked foods should
always be wrapped
• pre-cooked chilled foods
• pre-cooked meats
• prepared salads, desserts, homemade prod-
ucts, and leftovers
Vegetable Drawer/Crisper
• This is the part of the refrigerator has
higher humidity.
• Vegetables, fruit, fresh salads should be
stored in this compartment.
Wire Wine Rack
For storing bottled liquids. Always ensure lids
are air tight and sealed properly.
Notes:
• Always place raw meat, fish and poultry on
the lowest shelf of the refrigerator.
• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered
before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing
flavour and will help maintain freshness. It will
also prevent cross-flavouring.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Above freezer shelf
• Store food in small portions
Below freezer shelf
• Seal food in containers with lids, in plastic
wrap or in plastic bags to prevent drying and
the mingling of odors.
Wrapping food
• Pack the food in suitably sized portions for
your household.
• Vegetable and fruit portions should be no
heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be
up to 2.5 kg.
• Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is thereby maintained better
when defrosting and preparing the food.
• It is important to seal food in airtight bags or
containers before freezing to prevent it from
losing favor or dehydrating.
• Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it
airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
• Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and
freezer containers. These items are available
from any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
• Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
Suitable sealing materials:
• Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer
tape or similar.
• Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed
using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer, it
should be clearly labelled with the contents
and date of freezing.

Cleaning & Maintenance
DAILY CLEANING
The outside of your refrigerator can be
cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen
towel.
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners
on any part of your refrigerator as these
could permanently damage or discolour the
surfaces.
INTERNAL CLEANING
Wipe up any internal spills immediately with
a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Dry thoroughly.
SHELVES AND GUARDS
The Dairy guards, and shelves can be removed and cleaned separately. However, we
don’t recommend cleaning the transparent
plastic parts in a dishwasher because the
high temperatures can dull the plastic over
time.
DOOR SEALS
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
From time to time, it may be necessary to
perform more extensive cleaning to keep your
refrigerator in top condition and to maintain
energy efficiency.
Before performing any of these maintenance steps, switch off your refrigerator and
remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow
the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.
EVAPORATOR TRAY
At the other side of the drain hole in the
refrigerator cabinet, there is a small plastic
tray that sits on top of the compressor. This
should be removed and cleaned thoroughly
from time to time to prevent unpleasant
odours.
Take care when moving the refrigerator not
to damage the cooling matrix or tilt the appliance more than 45 degrees.
After maintenance, replace any shelves etc
and reconnect the appliance to the mains
supply.
Ensure that the door seals are kept free from
debris at all times. If they don’t seal properly
this can waste energy and cause excessive
ice build-up
DRAIN HOLE AND CLEANING TOOL
There is a small drain hole at the back of the
refrigerator cabinet. There is also a small
cleaning tool in the hole. Use the tool to clear
the drain hole when necessary. Do not allow
foodstuff to clog this hole

Troubleshooting
1. If the refrigerator does not run:
Check the supply voltage is available at the socket and check that the power plug is
correctly connected.
2. If the refrigerator does not become cold enough:
a. is the thermostat is set too low? (setting 1 is warmest setting 7 is coldest)
b. is there enough space around the refrigerator?
c. is the door is opened too frequently or not closed properly? (check seals).
d. is there direct sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
e. is there too much food inside the compartment?
f. is there dust and debris built up on cooling matrix or compressor?
3. Food is freezing or too cold in refrigerator compartment:
a. There is too little food in the refrigerator
b. Thermostat is set too high
4. If the refrigerator operates noisily:
a. Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Adjust the feet if necessary. The refrigerator is too near the wall
b. The food stored in the refrigerator is not touching - particularly applies to bottles.
The refrigerator creates very slight vibrations, which can be amplified greatly with
touching bottles!
Note:
During high relative humidity environment, condensation may occur on the surface
of the refrigerator. This is not a malfunction. Simply clean the surface of condensa-
tion.
If the refrigerator is not working properly after all these checks, contact the service
center without further delay.
