PROPER DISPOSAL
OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suocation are not only
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they are
sitting “for just a few days”. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.

5
INSTALLATION
STEP 1: LOCATION
Position the appliance away from sources of heat
such as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight etc.
Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed
by maintaining the correct indoor temperature for
the class of unit concerned, as specied on the
rating plate. This appliance performs well from
55 to 110°F (12.8 - 43.3°C). The appliance may not
work properly if it is left for a longer period at
a temperature above or below the indicated range.
IMPORTANT!
There is a need of good ventilation around the
fridge for easy dissipation of heat, high eciency
of refrigeration and low power consumption. For
this purpose, sucient clear space should be
available around the fridge. It is advisable for there
to be 3 inch (75 mm) separating the back of the
fridge to the wall, at least 4 inch (100 mm) of space
at its two sides, and a minimum of 4 inch (100 mm)
from its top and a clear space up front to allow the
doors to open 180°.
Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sucient
air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear
section of appliance, as poor air circulation can
aect performance.
WARNING: Some models may be shipped with a foam pad above the compressor to protect the unit
during transport. Check to see if your unit has one and remove it before use.
Before installing, follow these important rst steps.
WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices
or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit.
WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances
inside the food storage compartments of
the appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
STEP 2: CLEANING
Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator
interior, and exterior with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners
on these surfaces.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue
left from the tape can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or touch
the residue with the sticky side of tape already
removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
CAUTION: Flammable refrigerant used! When
handing, moving and use of the refrigerator, make
sure to avoid either damaging the refrigerant
tubing, or increasing the risk of a leak.

CLEANING AND CARE
CLEANING
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,
including interior accessories, should be cleaned
regularly. The fridge should be cleaned and
maintained at least every two months.
WARNING! DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
• The appliance may not be connected to the
outlet during cleaning! Before cleaning switch
the appliance o and remove the plug from the
mains, or switch o the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Remove the food from the appliance before
cleaning. Store food in a cool place and keep
well covered.

cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components.
• Hot vapors can lead to the damage of
plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is
placed back into service.
IMPORTANT!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack
plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice
from orange peel, butyric acid, and cleansers
that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such
substances to come into contact with
appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
• Clean the appliance and the interior
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish washing
detergents may also be used.
• After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and a
clean dish cloth.
• Accumulation of dust at the condenser
increases energy consumption. For this reason
carefully clean the condenser at the back of
the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
• Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of
the refrigerator compartment.
• Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of
something like a soft peg. Be careful not
to create any damage to the cabinet by
sharp objects.
• After everything is dry, place appliance back
into service.
DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• It is manually controlled by switching the
temperature regulator on or o so that there
is no need of operation of defrosting. Water
from defrosting will be drained into an drip tray
below the evaporator.
• During the defrost cycle. Do not leave
unattended.
• After defrosting is complete, empty and wipe
down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the
refrigerator. You may now reset the refrigerator
to the desired temperature and put the food
back in.

IMPORTANT!
Normally we advise you select setting of 4, if
you want the temperature warmer or colder
please turn the knob to lower or higher setting
accordingly. Though the unit is energy ecient, it
is more ecient at lower position settings.
IMPORTANT!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer
days) and a cold setting on the temperature
regulator (position "7") can cause the compressor
to run continuously or even non-stop! When
the refrigerator is in use, the compressor
needs being on and o normally to ensure its
defrosting. Therefore, we should avoid setting
the refrigerator’s notch too high ("7"). If you nd
the refrigerator frosts too much, please set the
refrigerator’s notch lower.
VACATION TIPS: If the appliance will not be used
for several months:
• Remove all food. Unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry thoroughly.
• Leave the door open slightly to prevent odor
and mold growth .
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance.
Allow warm foods to cool rst. Do not install
the appliance near cookers, radiators or other
sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures
cause longer, more frequent operation of the
compressor.
• In order to make the cooling system work
eciently, please make sure the side plates
and back plate of the product are with
some distance from the wall. It is strongly
recommended that its back is 3 inch (75 mm)
away from the wall, its sides are at least have
a space of 4 inch (100 mm) separately and
the height from over its top is no less than
4 inch (100 mm).
• When the product works, please do not open
the door too often or leave the door open any
longer than necessary.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not set temperature any colder than
necessary.
• The direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer)
needs to be defrosted when necessary. This
will improve the cold transfer and reduce
energy consumption.
• The sketch map shows the right combination
of the shelves which can lead to more energy
eciency.
• If users adjust the combination, it may result in
more energy-consumption.
• Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage
period specied.
