■ How to Install the Refrigerator.
(1) Your shockproof fridge is best installed on a solid surface.
(2) Be sure your fridge is not placed near a gas stove, heater or other
heat-generating appliances.
(3) Adequate ventilation and suitable distance from each wall (at least 150mm or more)
is necessary for the maximum cooling efficiency and minimum electric current consumption for
"free standing use"( see Fig.1 shown below).
(4) Avoid installing your fridge close to kitchen sink or faucet.
(5) If you use the fridge under the counter or in the fixing box, please note the
following air ventilation conditions.
① Make vent opening both under fridge or bottom and above fridge top cover.
■ Temperature Setting
Turn the temperature setting knob to change the air temperature inside the refrigerator.
