Before installing, follow these important first steps.LocationPosition the appliance away from sources of heat such as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight etc. Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class of unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate. This appliance performs welloofrom 12.8 to 43.3 C (55-110 F ). Theappliance may not work properly if it isleft for a longer period at a temperature above or below the indicated range. IMPORTANT!There is a need of good ventilationaround the fridge for easy dissipationof heat, high efficiency of refrigerationand low power consumption. For thispurpose, sufficient clear space shouldbe available around the fridge. It is advisable for there to be 75 mm (3 inch)separating the back of the fridge to thewall, at least 100 mm (4 inch) of space at its two sides, and a minimum of 100 mm (4 inch) from its top and a clear space up front to allow the doors oto open 1ϯϱ.Appliances must not be exposed to rain.

IMPORTANT !High ambient temperatures (e.g. onhot summer days) and a cold setting onthe temperature regulator (position “MAX” ) can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop! When the refrigerator is in use, the compressor needs being on and off normally to ensure its defrosting. Therefore, we should avoid setting the refrigerator’s notch too high(MAX). If you find the refrigerator frosts too much, please set the refrigerator’s notch lower. Vacation Tips: lf the appliancewill not be used for several months：67HPSHUDWXUH

Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. In order to make the cooling system work efficiently, please make sure the side plates and back plate of the product are with some distance from the wall. It is strongly recommended that its back is 75 mm (3 inch) away from the wall, its sides are at least have a space of 100 mm (4 inch) separately and the height from over its top is no less than 100 mm (4 inch) . During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may need to be emptied during the defrost cycle. Do not leave unattended. After defrosting is complete, empty When the product works, please do not open the door too often or leave the door open any longer than necessary. Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. The direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer) needs to be defrosted when necessary. This will improve the cold transfer and reduce energy consumption. The sketch map shows the right combination of the shelves which can lead to more energy efficiency. If users adjust the combination, it may result in more energy-consumption. Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period specified. and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset the refrigerator to the desired temperature and put the food back in.Correcting MalfunctionsA malfunction may be caused by only aminor fault that you can rectify yourselfusing the following instructions.
