Basic Operation
Start-up
Start the appliance 4 hours before storing
foods in it.
The On/Off button is children-proof. Use
a thin and flat tool (e.g. a pen) to press the
light color circle on the button when starting
the appliance. The green power indicator and
the red warning indicator are turned on with
buzzing signal.
The red warning indicator is off after the
inner compartment is cold enough.
Temperature Display
The temperature indicator shows a
temperature of reference.
The temperature indicator (1) is
independent of the power supply. It shows
the max. temperature value of frozen foods
when the appliance is in normal operation.
When temperature regulator is adjusted,
the temperature of frozen foods changes
accordingly as well as the temperature
display.
When the appliance door is opened for
food arrangement, the
temperature indicator
shows a higher figure
because of cold air
escape. The figure will keep unchanged if
the door is opened and then shut quickly.
Temperature Selection
The inner temperature may be adjusted
by the regulator (2). Use a accessory key
or a coin to rotate the regulator.
Position ‘1’ : Min. capacity
Position ‘4’ : Max. capacity
Generally, the regulator is to be set
between position ‘2’ and ‘3’.
Note:
When the regulator is adjusted, it takes
some time for the temperature of the inner
compartment to change accordingly. The
period will be longer or shorter, depending
on the ambient temperature, amount of
foods and how often the door is opened.

Operation Instructions
Use the freezer for long-time
food storage.
The inner temperature of the freezer is
lower than -18 ¡. Bacteria reproduction
is completely suppressed under such
circumstance. Therefore, the freezer is
suitable for long-time food storage,
provided that the expiry date on the food
package is observed.
Tips for freezing
The amount of food to be frozen at one
time should not exceed the freeze capacity
of the freezer.
Allow warm food or beverage to cool
down before placing them inside the
appliance.
Divide a large amount into smaller pieces
that are easy to be frozen thoroughly, so
that the quality of food is best preserved.
Wrap or cover foods well before storing
them into the freezer. The packing
material must be durable, odorless,
impermeable and not breathable so as to
keep the foods in good condition.

Operation Instructions
It’s advisable to take out the necessary
amount of food only. Don’t refreeze foods
that have been thawed completely. Cook
the thawed foods before refreezing them.
Do not store bottles of beverages inside
the appliance.
When storing frozen foods, the
description of storage time must be
observed. Label on the package the
expiry date for reference.
Ice Making
Fill 3/4 of the ice tray with water and place
it in the freezer compartment. To
remove
the ice cube, twist the ice tray gently
or has it
stay in running water for a while.

Defrosting/Cleaning
Defrosting
The freezer compartment ices up when the
refrigerating system is working. A thick layer of
frost or ice will increase energy consumption.
When the layer is as thick as 4 to 6 mm, use a
plastic scraper to remove it.
Never use a metallic tool to defrost, to pro-
tect the appliance from damage.
Unplug the appliance before defrosting.
Remove the food and ice cube tray from the
freezer compartment. Wrap foods in several
layers of newspaper and store in a cold place.
To take out the drawer, pull forward, tilt up and
remove it.
To speed up the defrosting process, place a
saucepan of warm water (water temperature
lower than 70˚C) in the refrigerator.
Never use an electric heater to defrost.
Keep the door open during defrosting. Clean
and dry the freezer with a cloth or a sponge.
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
To clean the inner compartment, remove food
and shelves. Wash the inner compartment with
lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Do not
use cleansers such as soaps, scouring powder
or spray cleaners, boiled water or acid, etc.
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a
damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
For electric safety, do not splash water directly
on the refrigerator.
Make sure that water doesn’t get into electric
components as temperature regulator or
illuminating light.
Keep the door seal clean.
For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be
removed from back and bottom of the appliance.
.12.

Defrosting/Cleaning
At power failure
Even in summer, power failure that lasts
for several hours doesn’t affect the frozen
food in the appliance. If a power failure is
announced.

make the foods as cold as possible.
Do not place any fresh food in the freezer
at the power failure.
Prepare more ice cubes and place them
on the top refrigeration compartment.
Note:
A continued power failure will have adverse
effect on the storage period and the food
quality.

If the appliance will not be used for a
period of time, turn the unit off and unplug.
