Installation
Installation of Your Refrigerator
Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully
loaded. To level your refrigerator, adjust the legs at the front of the refrigerator.
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the
proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator not to perform
properly.
Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to
form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the refrigerator.
Electrical Connection
This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with 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.
For personal safety, this refrigerator must be properly grounded.
This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the refrigerator. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never
unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this refrigerator. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type refrigerator extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.

Helpful hints and tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
 the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
 the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
 only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
 prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
 wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
 do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
 lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
 water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
 it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you removal from the
freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
 it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. Once
defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator

Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour

Daily Use

Daily Use
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
 Make (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
 For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
 Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
 Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
 butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminum foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
 Milk bottle: these should have a cap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.
 Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.
Fresh Zone Temperature Control
 Temperature of the fresh can be adjusted according to the type of storage food.
 Push the knob upward from the bottom, temperature in the fresh zone will be gradually decreased.
 When the knob is placed at the "CRISPER" position, the fresh zone can be functioned as a
crisper zone and maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity for fruits and vegetable.
 When the knob is placed at the " CHILLER" position, it is suitable for short-term storage of fish or other fresh
food. The food will keep fresh but not frozen which makes it the best choice for storing fresh food.
 Tips: When you choose " CHILLER" function, it is recommended to set the refrigerator temperature
below 4°C . and preserved lead-time no more than 3 days , in order to keep the best freshness.
