and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker,
boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This
unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with
any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 10 cm of free space is left at both sides, 10 cm at the
rear and 30 cm at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the wine
cooler and improve the eciency of the cooling process.

water using a ‘Wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and salad bin in warm soapy
water and dry completely before replacing in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a
damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
2.7 Before Using Your Unit

Fast cool function
Enter: Circulating modulation rapid cooling mode.
Operate: Indicator of rapid cooling lights up, and the refrigerator operates at 2°C.
Exit: 1. Operate 150min under the rapid cooling mode.
2. Temperature adjustment can exit from the rapid cooling mode.
• Temperature control of freezing chamber
The freezing temperature is relatively low in “COLDER” position, while the freezing tempera-
ture is relatively high in “COLD” position, thus, “NORMAL” position is generally used.
When ambient temperature is high in summer, the temperature shall be in the range from
“NORMAL” to “COLD”. If the ambient temperature is above 35°C, then “COLD” position shall
prevail.
When ambient temperature is low in winter, the temperature shall be in the range from
“NORMAL” to “COLDER”. If the ambient temperature is below 10°C, then “COLDER” position
shall prevail.
Chill compartment description: the temperature of chill compartment is -2 ≤ tcc ≤ 3, the maxi-
mum tcc should be as near as possible +3°C which however should not be exceeded. The com-
partment is not suitable for storing certain fresh vegetables and fruits (which are sensitive to low
temperature).
4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
u Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to avoid bac-
terial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and
cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
uLeave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.
uTo prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.

14
uAlways let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the
internal temperature of the unit.
uTo prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

6.1 Defrosting
Auto-defrost for Frost-free Refrigerator
6.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
u Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin rst remove the low-
er door shelf.
uWipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with
warm water using a “wrung-out” sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing
the shelves and salad bin.
uUse a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish.
Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal
or inside the unit.
uThe grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
uDusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the
cooling eect and energy saving.
uCheck the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket
with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
uThe interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
u Please turn o the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks ,shelves,
drawers, etc.
uUse a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons
of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After
cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
u For areas that are dicult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps
or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc.
and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure
no contaminants or bacterials accumulation in these areas.
uDo not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors
in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
uClean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy wa-
ter or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
uWipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water,
detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
uDo not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives(such as toothpastes),
organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alka-
line items, which may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and organic
solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
uDo not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or
aect electrical insulation after immersion.
