Using This Appliance
Turning On.
•Turn the thermostat knob to the "4" position, plug in and turn on
electricity. The compressor will begin to run.
•Open the door 30 minutes later, if the temperature in the refrigerator
has decreased obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system is
working.
•When the refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature
controller will automatically set the temperature within the appliance
according to the number it has been set on.
Temperature Control
The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the
thermostat dial. The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.
•1 is the warmest setting.
•7 is the coldest setting.
•Set the dial to OFF to turn off the cooling function.
•Under the normal operating condition (in spring and autumn), it is recommended
to set the temperature at 4 .
•In summer when the ambient temperature is high, it is
recommended to set temperature at 3-4 , so as to guarantee the fridge and
freezer temperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuous running time; and
in winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set
temperature at 5-6 to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerator.
Notes:The temperatures may vary with respect to setting’s due to
compressor cycles and outside conditions.
Notes: The thermostat setting of '6' or '7' is suitable when the ambient
temperature is under 16 °C, but it may lead to ice formation if the refrigerator
keeps running at such a high setting for a long time under the normal ambient
temperature, this would be a normal phenomenon. In such case, it is
recommended to adjust back the thermostat setting appropriately.

•Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area
in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in
different areas.
•The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of foods that need not
be frozen but require to be fully chilled: ready-to-eat meals, cooked food,
meat, fish, cheese, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation
etc.
•The door shelves are suitable for foods with natural preservatives, such as
jams, juices, drinks, condiments that do not require as low a temperature. Do
not store perishable foods in the door.
•The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
•The freezer/Icebox compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream,
frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time depending on the
*star rating.
0-star compartments are only suitable for making Ice
1-2-3 star compartments are not suitable for freezing fresh food
2 -3 star compartments are suitable for freezing pre-frozen food, ice-cream and
making Ice.
4 star compartments are suitable for deep freezing all food types.
Use of the fresh food compartment:
•Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2 ℃~ 8
℃, and store the foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten
at any time in the fresh food compartment.
Fridge shelf:
•When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing
the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. Keep the shelf rear flange
upward, to prevent foods from contacting the liner wall. When taking out or
putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box:
•Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover
plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the
internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.

Instructions For Food Storage
Note: The guidelines below are for all refrigeration apliances. Some features may
not be applicable to this appliance.
Food storage location:
•Do not force jars or cartons in the door as this may break the balconies. Make
sure that tall items are not able to fall over during the door opening and closing.
When removing make sure that all food is removed and push upwards from one
corner and then the other to remove. When removing and re-fitting handle with
care to avoid damage.

Cautions for food storage:
•Clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator.
Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as
to prevent water evaporation, keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand,
and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.
•Do not put too much food inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between
foods; if too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the
refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the
shelf from collapsing. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the
inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear
wall, they may get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods:
•Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed
in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food
spoilage due to expiration can be avoided.
Energy-saving tips:
•Allow the hot food to cool down to the room temperature before putting it in
the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw,
using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus
saving energy.
Ice formation on the back wall:
•It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of a fridge (see
below image) as this is a wet wall appliance. This does not constitute a fault
with the appliance. Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with
the back wall at any time as this may cause freezing of food and possible
issues with the drain hole becoming blocked or water on the shelves.
Storage of fruits and vegetables:
•In the case of refrigerating appliances with a chill compartment, some
types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore
are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment.
