Power connection
After connecting it to the power, the appliance is automatically set to the
Intelligent and Crushed Ice modes.
This appliance has a memory function which, in the event of a power failure,
automatically stores the operating mode that was last used and restores it when
the power is turned on again.
Operating modes
Recommendation:
The Intelligent mode allows the appliance to achieve the
best and most energy-efficient cooling effect, regardless
of ambient temperature variations and without requiring
you to make any settings at all.
Choose one of the following two operating modes.
(1)Intelligent mode: If there are no special requirements, it is recommended to choose the
Intelligent operating mode. Press the Intelligent key once; the indicator lights up and the
appliance is started automatically. (Details in the “Features” section.

Loading foods
Operate the refrigerator empty for a while. Start
loading the refrigerator with foods only after it has
sufficiently cooled down.
Please note that changes in the temperature settings come into effect slowly.
This depends on variations of the ambient temperature, how frequently the
door is opened and the amount of foods loaded.
