12
Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps must be made 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.
•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.
OPERATION

13
First Use
1. Affix the lower shelf inside the refrigerator as shown in "Cleaning & Care".
2. Connect the refrigerator to the power supply. After being connected to power, the
refrigerator will show the current chilled and frozen temperature. The refrigerator
has a Power-down memory, the first time when it is power on and then every time
will be set up at the last power-down operation.
3. The refrigerator will begin operation. The Temperature Control keys can be used to
set the temperature.
4. Place food into the refrigerator.
After allowing the refrigerator to operate for some time to fully cool, it is ready for

Note:
If the door is misaligned, refer to the adjustment instructions above (also located in the
lower left comer of the refrigerator's right panel) to adjust.
Note:
When the temperature is set to change or put new food into the refrigerator, it will take
some time for the inside temperature to equalise. The length of this period depends on
the size of the temperature change, the temperature of surrounding environment, the
frequency of the door being opened and the amount of food being placed inside.
Note:
Cancel any active functions (e.g. vacation mode or quick-freezer mode) before
changing the freezer's set temperature.
