INSTALLATION
1. This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
2. When you transport the appliance, the angle between the compartment body and the
ground should not be less than 45º.
WARNING: Never put the appliance upside down.
3. Once the appliance has landed properly on a flat and stable surface, remove all the
packing material including any plastic packaging material in the appliance.
4. The back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for
ventilation.
5. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda
added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap, detergent or any abrasive cleaner to
wash. Dry the appliance thoroughly after cleaning.
6. Open the fridge door for ventilation of internal compartments. Idle for 4 hours before
connecting the electrical mains to ensure the refrigerant in the compressor has settled
well.
7. Connect the electrical mains and switch on the power for 4 hours initially before adding
any goods. Make sure the ground is solid and will not vibrate when the appliance is
operating.
8. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate
correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the
temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18ºC and food spoilage may occur.
9. This appliance has to manually defrost and frosting will occur as normal. It is advisable
to manually defrost the appliance when the frosting is at 5mm thick.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
1. The thermostat control situated in the appliance regulates the temperature.
Position “0” –OFF
Position “1-5” –1 is the warmest setting and 5 is coldest setting.
NOTE: Do not leave the appliance to run at position “5” for prolonged period as
this will damage the compressor and the food inside the freezer.
2. Regulate the thermostat to “3”to check on the operation before switching to higher
cooling level.
NOTE: The optimum cooling level is position “THREE or FOUR”(to avoid over cooling
and damaged to the compressor).
3. Check the temperature after 4 hours. If the cooling has reached to acceptable level, you
may start using the appliance.
4. The temperature will be affected by:
- Room temperature;
- How often the door is opened; and
- How much food is stored
5. In determining the correct temperature control setting, all the above factors have to be
considered and some experimentation may be required.
6. Always store the hot food after it is completely cold. Never store hot items into the
appliance.
7. Always pack the food completely before putting into the appliance to avoid taste mixing
and frosting together.
8. If there is an electricity cut-off, please wait 10 minutes before operating the appliance
again to avoid damage to the compressor.

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
1. Getting the air into the appliance may form a layer of frost inside. It will weaken the
refrigeration when the frost is thick. When it is more than 5mm thick, you should
defrost the appliance.
2. Wrap the food and keep them in a cool place.
3. Press the defrost button for an immediate cut off of the cooling system. Water from
the melting ice will be contained in the drain pan. When the defrosting process has
completed, the cooling system will automatically restart.
4. The water from defrosting process will flow into the drain pan at the rear of the
appliance and will automatically evaporate overtime.
5. Speed up the defrosting process by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the
appliance.
6. The appliance should be defrosted once every one month depending on the usage.
7. If the appliance door was opened frequently or using the appliance in high humidity
area, we advise the user to defrost once every two weeks.
8. This appliance should not be left unused for a long period. To stop using the
appliance, disconnect the main power. Clean the interior and dry it completely. Open
the door for 2-3 days to ensure it is dry completely.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Do not place warm food into the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down first.
2. Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other sources of warmth.
3. High ambient temperature will cause the compressor to operate more frequent.
4. Make sure the side plates and back plates are with certain distance from the wall. It is
strongly recommended that the back of the appliance is at least 10cm away from the
wall.
5. When the compressor is operating please do not open the door too often or leave the
door open any longer than necessary.
