Electrical Connection
WARNING
This appliance should be properly grounded for
your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates
with the standard three prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied.
This refrigerator appliance requires a standard
220-240VAC 50/60Hz electrical outlet with
three-prong ground.
This refrigerator appliance is not designed to be
used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the
appliance and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet
near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively affect the performance of the unit.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in
the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized
service center.

Climate Range
The information about the climate range of the
appliance is provided on the rating plate. It
indicates at which ambient temperature (that is,
room temperature, in which the appliance is
working) the operation of the appliance is
optimal (proper).

intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’;
-tropical: ‘this refrigerating appliance is
intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C’;
Note：Given the limit values of the ambient
temperature range for the climate classes for
which the refrigerating appliance is designed and
the fact that the internal temperatures could be
affected by such factors as location of the
refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature
and the frequency of door opening, the setting of
any temperature control device might have to be
varied to allow for these factors, if appropriate.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
Locks
If your Refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the
key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the
appliance to prevent children being entrapped.
When disposing of an old Refrigerator, break off
any old locks or latches as a safeguard.
Freon-free
The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the
foaming insulation material (cyclopentane) that
is environmentally friendly are used for the
refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone
layer and having a very small impact on the
global warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed
in a refrigeration system, without leakage during
normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage
due to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be
sure to keep the appliance away from open
flames and open the windows for ventilation as
quickly as possible.

Preparations for use
Installationlocation
1. Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator
installation should be well-ventilated and has less
hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat
source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from
direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the
refrigeration effect while saving energy
consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in
the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator
from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of
the total space of the room in which the
refrigerator is installed being divided by the
refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator
shall not be less than 8 g/M3.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the
refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to
surroundings. Therefore, at least 300 mm of free
space should be spared at the top side, more
than 100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at
the back side of the refrigerator.
3. Level ground
Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground
(floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to
vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is
placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw
mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates
should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so
as to prevent color change due to heat
dissipation.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be
maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the refrigerator is properly installed and
well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately.
Make sure to energize the refrigerator after more
than 1 hour of standing, so as to ensure its
normal operation.
2. Cleaning
Confirm the accessory parts inside the
refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the
compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door,
if the temperature inside the freezer
compartment drops obviously, it indicates the
refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time,
the internal temperature of the refrigerator will
be automatically controlled according to the
user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator
is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need
2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when
the temperature is high, it takes more than 4
hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to
open the refrigerator door as less as possible
before the internal temperature cools down).
If the refrigerator is installed in the
moisture place, make sure to check whether the
ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are
normal. If vibration noises are produced due to
the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall

gets blackened by air convection around the
compressor, move the refrigerator away from
the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause
jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile
phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver,
television set surrounding it, so try to keep the
refrigerator as far away as possible in such case.
Functions
Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled
by the control panel mounted in the fridge comp
artment.
The refrigerator temperature is set to be the low
est when at "2°C" and the highest when at "8°C".
It can be adjusted according to the user's needs.
1. Under the normal operating condition (in sprin
g and autumn), it is recommended to set the tem
perature at “5°C”.
2. In summer when the ambient temperature is h
igh, it is recommended to set temperature at “5
-6°C”, so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer te
mperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuo
us running time; and in winter when the ambient
temperature is low, it is recommended to set te
mperature at “4-5°C” to avoid frequent start/sto
p of the refrigerator.
3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the
fridge temperature and the freezer temperature
can be reduced rapidly at the same time, so that
foods can be kept in fresh condition with their
nutrition not lost. The maximum running time of
the fast-cool function is 26 hours, after which,
the refrigerator will be restored to its previous
mode that is set before the fast-cool function is
enabled.
Remark：The temperatures may vary with respe
ct to setting’s ones due to compressor cycles and
outside conditions.
Note: If the indicator light‘2’ or ‘5’ or ‘8’
gets flickering, it indicates that the
refrigerator has broken down. Please
contact the after-sales personnel for
on-site service as soon as possible.
