INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ø Before Using Your Refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 1 Instruction Manual
• Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Ø Installing Your Refrigerator
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• 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 leveling leg at the bottom of the refrigerator.
• Allow 12 cm 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.
• Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours
before placing food in the refrigerator compartment.
Ø Electrical Connection
This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator
is equipped with a two-pin plug which mates with standard two 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.
This refrigerator requires a standard 220-240Volts A.C. ~/50Hz electrical outlet with two-prong
ground.
The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
Ø Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance
This refrigerator has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is
delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the
opening direction, please call customer service for reversal instructions.
Operating your refrigerator
Ø Setting the Temperature Control
•To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature

•The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.”
•The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust
the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be
appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
NOTE:
§ If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
