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.”OFF” shows a forced STOP and “7” shows the lowest
temperature. Turn the knob from "1"position to "7"position, the temperature decreases

STORAGE OF FOOD
1.How to Use the Chilled Room
*Put fresh and clean food such like fish, meat into ice room ,therefore the taste and
nutrient of food are preserved.
*Wrap food to be frozen in ALUMINIUM FOIL or place it in AIRTIGHT boxes.
*Do not allow already frozen food into direct contact with food to be frozen.
*If you buy deep frozen food in the shops, bring it home and place it in ice room as quickly
as possible so that the time during which it kept in the air temperature is as short as
possible.
2.How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment
*The cook dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their temperature
8

decreases to room temperature.
*Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks,etc..
3.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.
*Never place vegetables and fruits into ice room in order to prevent them from being
frostbitten.
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 ST, and the room temperature of between 16ćand
38ć.
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)
9. The door to the evaporator clearance can be used to store food˗

10.
Please support the refrigerator’s body by your hand because of while the door
opening, it might be sliding out of the pulling force.

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
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).

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge

NOTE˖
˖Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom
of the fridge. 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.
Defrosting
1.When the refrigerator working for a period of time ,the inner surface of the chilled room
will be covered with a layer of white frost. It may raise the electricity consumption and
lessen the effect of refrigeration.Then you should do frost re-movement at once.
2.After defrosting ,clear away defrosting water in water pan as soon as possible.
Notes: Never use sharp metal tools or it will damage the refrigerator.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer 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/Freezer.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back wall
and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
11

The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not
enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from
around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer
exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer 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/Freezer
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
Do not open the Fridge/Freezer door more than necessary.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Fridge/Freezer 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.
The Fridge/Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown.
The Fridge/Freezer should be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient
temperature of between 16ćand 38ć. Leave the Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge/Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture.
12

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/Freezer.
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
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the
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
coolant to settle.
Installation
Donÿt cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
