Refrigerating chamber
•The refrigerating chamber is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables,
beverages and other food consumed in the short term.
•Recently cooked foods shall not be put in the refrigerating chamber until cooled to
room temperature.
•Foods are recommended to be sealed before placing in the refrigerator.
•The adjustable shelves can be repositioned up or down for ideal configuration.
•For better use of the refrigerator, it is recommended to push the damper adjusting
slider to its top position; if it is not enough cool in the refrigerator chamber, check the
slider position.
Freezing chamber
•The low temperature freezing chamber may keep food fresh for a longer time and is
mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice.
•The freezing chamber is suitable for storage of meat, fish, rice balls, and other foods
not to be consumed in short term.
•Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for quick freezing and
easy access. Please be noted food shall be consumed within the shelf time.

Placement
•Before use, remove all packing materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads and
tapes inside of the refrigerator; tear off the protective film on the doors and the
refrigerator body.
•Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in moist or
watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
•Do not spray or wash the refrigerator; do not put the refrigerator in moist places easy
to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties of the
refrigerator.
•Place the refrigerator in a well-ventilated indoor place where the ground is flat and
sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for levelling if unstable).
•The top space of the refrigerator shall be greater than 30cm and the refrigerator
should be placed against a wall with a free distance more than 10cm to facilitate
heat dissipation.
Precautions before installation:
Before installation or adjusting of accessories, ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected
from power.
Precautions shall be taken to prevent fall of the handle from causing any personal injury.
Levelling Feet
Adjusting procedures:
•Turn the feet clockwise to raise
the refrigerator
•Turn the feet counter-clockwise

BEFORE FIRST USE

Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps must be performed by Kogan.com, an
authorised service agent, or similar qualified person. Do not repair or replace LED lamps
yourself.
Starting
•Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two
hours before connecting it to power supply.
•Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator
shall have run for 2-3 hours or for above 4 hours in
summer when the ambient temperature is high.
•Spare enough space for convenient opening of the
doors and drawers.
Energy saving tips
•The appliance should be in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading
the appliance 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
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper or
paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less
efficient.
•Organise and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

Loud noise
•Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is
placed stably.
•Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
Door seal fails to
be tight
•Remove foreign matters on the door seal.
•Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it
with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).
Water pan
overflows
•There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains
too much water. resulting in heavy defrosting.
•The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.
Hot housing
•Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which
is normal.
•When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature
and storage of too much food, it is recommended to provide
sound 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.
Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise
•Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation
and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal.
•Creaking: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may
produce creak, which is normal.
