Before first use
•Keep the refrigerator still for two hours before connecting it
to the power supply.
•Run for 2-3 hours, or over 4 hours in summer when the
ambient temperature is high, before first storing any fresh
food.
•Install with sufficient clearance for ventilation and
opening of all doors and drawers.
Energy saving tips
•Install in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or
heating ducts and out of 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.
•Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost buildup.
•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

Placement
•Before use, remove all packing materials and remove the
protective film from the doors and the refrigerator body.
•Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not
place the freezer in moist or watery areas, as this may
cause rust or reduction of insulating effect or affect the
electrical insulation properties of the refrigerator.
•Install in a well-ventilated indoor area on level ground.
•Allow at least 30cm vertical space and 10cm horizontal
around the refrigerator to facilitate heat dissipation.

Water/ice dispenser
•Sounds will be produced by the mechanical equipment during ice cube and crushed
ice production: this is normal and not a concern.
•If the ice in the container is stuck together, remove the Ice container and break up the
ice into pieces with a plastic or wooden spoon or other suitable implement.
•Do not run the ice maker more than every minute to avoid overheating. Freezing water
in ice cube trays is recommended if large quantities are required.
•Clean the ice container regularly.
•Ice and water can only be fetched when the door of the freezer compartment is
closed. If the freezer door is opened, production will automatically stop.
Press the DISPENSER button to select water , crushed ice or ice cubes and use
the cup to depress the tab to begin dispensing.

drawers, etc.
•Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with 2 tablespoons
of baking soda dissolved into a litre warm water: rinse and wipe clean. After
cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
•For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator, it is recommended to wipe
them regularly with a soft cloth or thin brush to ensure there are no contaminants
or bacterial accumulation.
•Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause
odours in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminate food.
•Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with
soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
•Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy
water, detergent, etc. and then wipe dry.
•Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as
toothpaste) organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling
water, acid or alkaline items as these which may damage the fridge surface and
interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or
damage plastic parts.
