TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
When transportation, hold the base and lift the refrigerator carefully with an angle
inferior at 45 degree. Never hold the door handle as support. Never place it upside down
nor horizontally. Push refrigerator on its basis and place it thanks to its roller feet.
INSTALLATION
To fix stably, the appliance must be placed on a flat and solid surface. It should not be
laid on any soft material.
Choose a well-ventilated place. A space of at least 5cm must be left at the sides and
10cm at the back of the refrigerator. The cabinet spacers supplied with the appliance
must be installed to protect and control distance from the wall.
-4-

Choose a location where there is no heat source. Keep the refrigerator away from direct
sunlight or other appliance producing heat.
Choose a dry and well-ventilated place where there is no corrosive air.
TEST
Clean the parts of the refrigerator with lukewarm water on a soft cloth or with a neutral
detergent and with clear water, then wipe them dry.
Notes: Electric parts of the refrigerator can only be wiped by dry cloth.
Turn the thermostat knob on the "3" position and turn on electricity. The compressor
and the light inside the refrigerator begin to work.
Close the door and wait 30 minutes. If the temperature in the freezer compartment
decreased obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well. When the
refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature controller will automatically
set the temperature on conditions that the door is not too often opened.
If the above steps are successful, the trial operations are finished. The refrigerator works
normally.
-5-
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment and in the freezer compartment is
controlled by the temperature controller installed on the right side of the refrigerator
compartment.
Turn the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature inside the refrigerator.
The marks on the knob are not the exact number of the degrees of temperature but the
temperature grades from “0” to “7”. The first grade corresponds to a forced STOP of the
refrigeration and the 7th grade corresponds to the lowest temperature the refrigerator
can produce. Turn the knob from "1"position to "7"position, the temperature decreases
continuously.
Set the thermostat knob to "3-4"position for a normal use.
Notice that the product is set for operation at a specific ambient range between 16 and
38°C. The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long period at a temperature
above or below the indicate range.

-6-
The indoor temperatures are influenced by the following factors:
lAmbient temperature
lFrequency of door opening
lAmount of stored foods
lInstallation of the appliance
STORAGE OF FOOD
How to Use the Freezer Compartment?
lPut fresh food, such like fish or meat, into the freezer to save their taste and
nutrient.
lWrapped food has to be frozen in aluminum sheet or cellophane sheet or in airtight
plastic boxes.
lDo not put fresh food directly in contact with food already frozen.
lIf you buy frozen food, bring it home and place it in freezer as quickly as possible.
lNever re-freeze a defrosted product.
lDo not store liquids in bottles or cans(besides high percentage spirits) especially
carbonated beverages in the freezer, as these will burst during freezing
lThe storage time for the respective food (especially for commercially frozen food)
recommended by the food manufactures should not be exceeded. Only take the
required amount of food out pf the freezer.
lDuring defrost or, maintenance and care the temperature of frozen food could
arise and the storage time could be shorter
How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment?
lEggs have to be put in the eggs’ pockets, bottles in the bottles’ pocket, etc.
lFruits and vegetables have to be put in the salad crisper.
lJars have to take place in the tubs of the door of the refrigerator.
lOther perishable food, or which can loosen stenches in the refrigerator, must be
separately packed.
Placement of Food
lPlease not accumulate too much food in the refrigerator because it would
engender a loss of cold.
lFood has to be wrapped separately in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in
airtight plastic boxes.
lHot food cannot be put in the refrigerator or in the freezer until they have reached
the ambient temperature, or it will increase electrical consumption.
lNever place vegetables and fruits into freezer compartment because they will be
unfit for the consumption once defrosted.
When the refrigerator working for a long time, the inner surface of the freezer will be
covered with a layer of hoarfrost. It may raise the electricity consumption and decrease
the effect of refrigeration. Then you should defrost your freezer once a month.
DEFROSTING

-7-
When defrosting, cut off the power, open the door and move frozen foods to a cool
place. Use a plastic spatula to remove the hoarfrost. Then remove the hoarfrost so
