HOW TO OPERATE
Before rst use, remove all adhesive tape from the
drawers, shelves, trays and drain tube plug.
INSTALLATION
1. The refrigerator should be placed on a completely at surface. Allow 1 foot of space
on each side of the refrigerator and between the refrigerator and the wall. Also allow
at least 8 inches of space between the top of the refrigerator and the ceiling.
2. Choose a location for your refrigerator that is not exposed to sunlight, high
temperature or humidity, as humidity may stain and damage the refrigerator.
3. The appliance can be adjusted by rolling the two legs in the bottom front of the refrigerator
if it becomes unstable. Raise the refrigerator by rolling the two legs clockwise.
4. The surface of the location where the refrigerator is installed should be rm
and at. If refrigerator is not secured in a proper location, noise and vibration
may occur. The noise may be increased if the oor is not rm. If you have
to position the refrigerator on a carpeted oor, place a sheet underneath
the refrigerator to prevent heat emissions from ruining the carpet.
5. Make sure that legs are pressed rmly into the oor and allow the refrigerator
to lean backward slightly so that the doors remain closed.
PLACEMENT OF FOOD
1. There should always be some space between items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed containers to avoid becoming
dry, spoiled or creating odors in the refrigerator.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the
appliance. Otherwise, bacteria will grow in food.
4. Reducing the frequency of opening the doors can lower the electricity consumption.
NOTE: Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
The temperature of the refrigerator can be controlled manually by the thermostat
control dial. However, the number shown on the dial does not correlate to the degrees.
The higher the number, the lower the interior temperature of the refrigerator will be.
Setting 0 (or OFF) = indicates refrigerator is turned o (power is still being supplied)
Setting 1 (or MIN) = lowest setting (warmest internal temperature)
Setting 7 (or MAX) = highest setting (coldest internal temperature)
PACKING AND MOVING
Save packing materials if possible and remember how materials are
packed in the box. Repack refrigerator and accessories carefully.
DO NOT lift or pull the doors or door handles during transportation.
When moving, do not tilt appliance more than 45 degrees. Be
very careful not to bump the refrigerator into anything.

DEFROSTING
Heavy frost will eect the eciency and performance of the refrigerator and can
create increased energy consumption. If the frost inside of the freezer gets as thick as
¼ inch, you must defrost the refrigerator. Follow these steps to defrost the freezer:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer.
2. Uninstall the drawers and shelves.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Open the doors and wait for the appliance to thaw completely.
5. Clean up the water with dry towels.
NOTE: DO NOT use any other equipment or method to force
the defrost process. It may ruin the cooling system.
DISCONNECTING THE APPLIANCE
After a power failure the refrigerator can keep food cool
for several hours if doors are kept shut.
If the power fails, do not put additional food into the refrigerator or open the doors.
If you plan to have your power shut o for an extended period of time, make
sure to remove all perishable food from the refrigerator or freezer rst.
If you stop use of your refrigerator for an extended period
of time, unplug the appliance from the outlet.
Always wait at least ve minutes after unplugging the
power supply cord before plugging it back in.
HELPFUL TIPS
• The refrigerator does not work.
It may not be properly connected to the power supply, or the voltage may be too low.
• The refrigerator does not work as eciently as expected.
It may be caused by heavy frost, the temperature setting being too
warm, or by frequently opening and closing the door.
• It makes strange noises.
The noises may be caused by the refrigerator not being stabilized. Make
sure the surface that the refrigerator is on is at and rm. Noise can also be
caused by resonation between the refrigerator and objects near it.
• The compressor keeps working for a long period of time.
The temperature may be too high. This can also be caused by the
frequent opening and closing of the doors, or by the door being left
open. Try moving the temperature setting between 3-5.
• The inside of the refrigerator has a bad odor.
Food with a strong odor should be packed in tightly closed containers before storing
in the refrigerator or freezer. Make sure to regularly clean out your refrigerator
and make sure that you do not leave spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Water is leaking from the bottom of the refrigerator.
The drain tube is probably jammed. Contact a qualied technician to repair it.

water. Electronic components may not work properly if water gets inside. DO NOT
store valuables or objects sensitive to temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer.
