Te m p e r a t u r e D i a l
• Turn the temperature control knob to MAX and the internal temperature will lower.
• Turn the temperature control knob to MIN and the internal temperature will get higher.
• MED represents Medium, between the two.
• Turning the temperature control to “OFF” will stop the refrigerator from running.
Note: MIN, MED and MAX do not represent set levels, and that the fridge’s contents will
affect the overall internal temperature. An overstocked fridge will result in lower cooling
power.

Placement
Before use, remove oil packaging materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads and
tope from inside the refrigerator. Remove any protective films on the doors and body.
Place the refrigerator in a location away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not place the
chiller in a moist or watery location to prevent rust. Ensure the refrigerator is placed on a
stable, flat surface. Make sure the unit cannot be rocked side to side, back and forth or
diagonally.
Ensure there are at least 30cm of space above the top of the refrigerator, plus at least 10cm
of space to each side to allow for the dissipation of heat.
Levelling Feet
• Turn the feet clockwise to raise the refrigerator.
• Turn the feet counter-clockwise to lower the refrigerator.

• Before the initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to a
power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods into the fridge, the fridge should be left to run
for 2-3 hours or if the temperature is especially high during summer, up toil hours.
Ensure there is enough space left for the convenient opening of the drawers and doors.
Energy Saving Tips
• This appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
sources and heating ducts, as well as away from direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
Overloading the fridge forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
fridge. They will cut down on frost build-up.
• The storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling.
These liners will interfere with the cold air circulation, making the appliance less
efficient.
• Organise and label your food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time and then close the door as soon as possible.
OPERATION

Cleaning
• Dust behind the refrigerator and on the ground should be cleaned to improve the
cooling effect and improve energy efficiency. The interior of the refrigerator should be
cleaned regularly to avoid odours. Soft towels or sponges dipped in water and non-
corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The freeze should be cleaned
with clean water and dry cloth. Open the doors and allow the unit to dry naturally before
dosing the doors and turning the power back on.
• Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, wire brushes, abrasives, organic solvents, boiling
water, acids or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator.
Defrosting
• Unplug the power cord.
• Remove food and store it properly to avoid food spoilage.
• Clear the drainpipe.
• Race down trays to catch the water as the frost melts.
• You can let the chiller defrost using the natural temperature of the room.
• If there is a large amount of ice, an appropriate amount of hot water can be used to
speed up the melting process.
• Once defrosted, close the fridge and plug the unit back into a power outlet.
• After a few hours, you are safe to return the food to the chiller.
Out of Operation
• Power Failure: In the event of a power failure, even in summer, the food inside the
refrigerator will stay cool for several hours. While the power is out to ensure that the
door is not opened and fresh food is not added to the fridge.
• Not in Use: If you will not be using the fridge for an extended period, you should unplug
the refrigerator from the power outlet and dean it thoroughly. The door should be kept
open to prevent odours.
• Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, you should remove all food objects. Then fix
all-glass partitions, vegetable holder, chiller drawers etc. with tape. Tighten the levelling
feet, then close the doors and secure them with tape. While moving, the refrigerator
must not be turned upside down or laid down.
• To improve the longevity of the refrigerator, once it has been set up and turned on, it
should be disrupted as little as possible. Starting the unit up and shutting it down or
moving it, will both significantly shorten the life expectancy of the unit.
CLEANING & CARE

If you experience any issues, please check the table below before contacting
help.Kogan.com for further assistance.
Failed
operation
• Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether
the plug is securely connected.
• Check whether the voltage is too low.
• Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have
tripped.
Odour
• Odorous foods should be tightly wrapped.
• Check whether there is any rotten food.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Extended
compressor
operation
• Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the
ambient temperature is high.
• Avoid overloading the appliance,
• Food should be cool before being put into the appliance.
• The doors are being opened too frequently.
Doors cannot
be properly
closed
• The door is obstructed by food packages.
• The refrigerator is overloaded.
• The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noise
• Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is
placed stably.
• Check whether accessories are placed at the proper locations.
Door seals are
loose
• Remove foreign matter from the door seal.
• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration, using an
electrical drier or a hot towel for heating.
TROUBLESHOOTING

Water pan
overflows
• There is too much food in the chamber, or the food stored
contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
the entry of air and increased water.
Hot housing
• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser is occurring via the
housing, which is normal.
• When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature,
storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor,
provide adequate ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Surface
condensation
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the
refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high.
Simply wipe the condensation with a clean towel.
Abnormal
noise
• Buzzing: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation
and this sound is loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal.
• Creaking: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may
produce creaking sounds, which is normal.
Disposal
This marking indicates that this appliance should not be disposed with
other house-hold wastes. To prevent possible harm to the environment
or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly
to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.
