USE OF THE APPLIANCE
1. When operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it without
loading any food until it autos tops at the desired temperature.
Usually it takes 2 or 3hours, then set the thermostatic dial at the
setting desired and put foods in the refrigerator.
2. The temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted by turning
the thermostatic dial. A medium setting of the thermostatic dial is
the most suitable for general operation.
3. Defrost the freezing compartment whenever the layer of frost on
the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting,
remove all food and set the thermostat at the “OFF” position. Put
the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. After the
frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry the interior of
refrigerator. The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its
thermostat to the desired setting.
Cautions for Use
1. The more you fill the Fridge and the longer you have the door
open, the higher the electric consumption. Overloading the
appliance can lead to a malfunction.
2. Do not place objects which are too heavy, pointed or corroded in
the Fridge.
3. Leave a 10 minute interval between unplugging and then plugging
in the Fridge.
4. Try not to open the door during a power-cut.
5. When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to
remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will damage
the evaporator.
7. Don’t touch with wet hands.

compartments is higher while the refrigerator is operating, it takes
some times for the temperature of the two compartments to
become cold. If the environmental temperature is higher, it takes a
long time to make the compartments to become cold.

proceed as follows:
Disconnect the fridge from the main supply by removing
the plug from the wall socket.

wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated
(adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
For household refrigerating appliances, in normal temperature
conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure
they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
