Installation Instructions
Installation Location
Before installing, carefully read the instruction in order to avoid a certain number of problems.
Positioning
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 specified on the rating plate. 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 efficiency of freezer and low power consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear
space should be available around the freezer. It is advisable for there to be 75mm separating
the back of the freezer to the wall, at least 100mm of space at its two sides, height of over 100mm
from its top and a clear space upfront to allow the doors to open 160°.
Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower
rear section of appliances, as poor air circulation can affect performance. Built-in appliances
should be positioned away from heat sources such as heaters and direct sunlight.
Under no circumstance should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.Contact your local service center.

Notes: Technical information
Because it takes a long time to make ice tubes, you can not hold the ice tray directly
when take out the ice cubes to avoid the ice tray sticking and hurting your hands.
Drawers in freezer
It is for freezing or storing foods. You must cut the big meat into small pieces to avoid hard
cutting when cook. The quick-freeze foods must be evenly placed in drawer, and put them
together to store after freezing.
Using Your Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foods. And
it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16℃and
38℃.If the temperature exceeds that designed, either colder or warmer, the appliance will not
work effectively and correctly. Should the ambient temperature be exceeded for long period, the
temperature in the freezer will rise above -18℃and food spoilage may occur.
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water added with a
little bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Do not use soap or detergent since the smell
may linger. After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly.
To start the appliance
Operating instructions
1.Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2.Plug in the appliance and turn on the power.
3.Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A midway setting is usually suitable for
normal operation.
4.Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours to reach the correct temperature before placing
food inside.
Ice tray
It is for making ice, pour cool boiled water into ice tray up to 4/5 of its volume, place it in freezer
room for 2 hours and the ice can be made automatically. When you want to take ice tubes,
please twist the ice tray slightly, and the ice tubes are separated form the ice tray. But do not
bend it, otherwise it will crack.

Thermostat control
The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the freezer
compartment.
Position“MIN”–Cold.
Position“NORMAL”–Colder normally, setting at this position.
Position“MAX”–Coldest.
The temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary. Do not allow children to tamper with the controls
or play with the product.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18 ℃( F) or colder allow-
ing for long term frozen-food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is cont-
rolled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to the different installati-
ons, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the temperature settings may be
required.
These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the frozen
food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise rapidly after
removal.

Important!
Normally we advise you select setting of “Normal”, if you want the temperature warmer or colder
please turn the knob to lower or higher setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to a colder setting which can lead to the more energy efficiency.
Otherwise, it would result the energy-consuming.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature
regulator (position “MAX”) can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop.
Reason:when the ambient temperature is high,the compressor must run continuously to maintain
the low temperature in the appliance.

Place the fresh food in the top freezer drawer. Food may need rearranging to achieve this. During
the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals
are kept as small as possible to avoid damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes place slowly
large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.Existing frozen
food should be rearranged to leave space in the top two drawers for freezing. The packets to be
frozen should be placed in the drawer in contact with the drawer surface as far as possible and
spaced apart to allow cold air to circulate between them. They should not touch existing packets.
If there is enough room, transfer the food you have frozen to the baskets or drawers to allow you
to freeze a further load in the top drawer. Exceptionally large items can be stored by removing the
drawer. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do not remove items from the
freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.
For safety reasons, the freezer drawer are fitted with stops but are readily removed by pulling them
forward to the stop, then lifting the front and pulling all the way out. Refit by reversing this procedure.
Freezing fresh food
Frozen food storage
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as
possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage which generally means up to
3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times
shown on packets of commercially frozen food. Do not place sealed containers or carbonated
liquids such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates pressure on the container which may
cause it to explode leading to damage to the freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not be
consumed immediately after removal from the freezer as it may result in low temperature skin
abrasions.
