heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in
out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Fridge in an out-building
such as a garage or annex ensure that the Fridge is placed above the damp
course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Fridge cabinet. Never place
the Fridge in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when your
Fridge is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm.
It must therefore be installed so that the back of the Fridge has at least 9
cm(31/2”) of free space and the sides have 2 cm(3/4”). The appliance
dimensions (W×D×H) is 545×566×845mm .Do not drape the Fridge with
any covering.
Leveling the Fridge
If the Fridge is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected
and may cause you Fridge to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge is placed in its
final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

3.Open the door 30 minutes later, if the temperature in the refrigerator
decreased obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well. When the
refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature controller will

6
automatically set the temperature within limits it opens.
Temperature Control

temperature controller installed on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment.
2.Turn the thermostat knob to right or left, you can regulate the temperature
inside the refrigerator.
3.The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, not the exact number of
the degrees of temperature.”0” shows a forced STOP and “7” shows the lowest
temperature. Turn the knob from "1"position to "7"position, the temperature
decreases continuously. You may set the temperature control selector to any
position according to what you need.
4.Please set the selector to "3"position in normal use.
STORAGE OF FOOD
1.How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment
*The cook dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their
temperature decreases to room temperature.
*Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks,etc..
2.Placement of Food
*Proper place should be left instead of too crowded during food storage.
*Food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic film or fresh keeping
paper, then distributed to several frames even to avoid contamination and the
loss of water and smell mixture.
*Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing or consumption of
electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.

IN USE
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of
contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
2. The fact that the climate class is T, and the room temperature of between
16℃and 43℃.
3. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors
as the location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the
frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any
temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors
4. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer
compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and
that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold
5. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food
manufacturers for any kind of food
6. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual
defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life
7. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
8. The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply
or failure of the refrigerating system)

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge
are kept cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed
or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly

8
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to
stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before
opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk,
eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of
salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat spreads,
cooking fats and lard.
Coldest area
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad
etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.

9
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at
the bottom of the fridge. If so, can not put too long. This will stop them dripping
onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the
fridge.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.
Cleaning inside the Fridge
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth
and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are
completely dry before replacing in the Fridge.
Cleaning outside the Fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge
exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
Fridge

The Fridge is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher

10
position.
The Fridge is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the
maximum setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not
working. Contact the local store where your purchase was made.

Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of
moisture. If the problem continues contact the local store where your purchase
was made.
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling
system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free
gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your Fridge.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the
system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer

Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may
cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the
