When the fridge door is low:
Open the door, use the wrench to loosen the locking nut
and to rotate the adjusting nut anti-clockwise to raise
the height of the door. Once the doors are aligned, then
tighten the locking nut by rotating it anti-clockwise.
The picture above is only for reference
When the fridge door is high:
Open the door, use the wrench to rotate the adjusting
nut clockwise to lower the height of the door. Once
the doors are aligned, then tighten the locking nut by
rotating it anti-clockwise.

PAGE 6
2.4 Changing the Light
• 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.
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar
qualified person.
2.5 Starting to use
• Ensure enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers.
2.6 Energy saving tips
• The appliance should be placed 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 aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize 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.

(The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or
statement by the distributor)

PAGE 8
3.1.1 Refrigerating chamber
• The Refrigerating Chamber is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food
consumed in the short term. Suggested storage time 3 days to 5 days.
• Cooked or hot food shall not be put in the refrigerating chamber until cooled to room temperature.
• Foods are recommended to be sealed up before putting into the refrigerator.
• The glass shelves can be adjusted up or down for a reasonable amount of storage space and easy use.

freshness and nutrition of food.
• Special Pt Fresh technology delivers a healthier and fresher air inside the refrigerator.
Fresh Zone Drawer – This drawer is cooler than the rest of the refrigerator ideal for storage of Different cuts of meat
and Fish.
Moisture Drawer – Selecting between the low or high, this helps fruits and vegetables stored inside to remain crisp,
moist and fresh for a longer time. The general guideline is Low Humidity – Primarily Fruit and
High Humidity – Primarily Vegetables
Flex-Zone Drawer – You are able to adjust the humidity according to what you are placing inside the drawer from
Cold Drinks/ Dry Goods or Fruit and Vegetables.
3.1.2 Freezing chamber
• The low temperature freezing chamber may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods
and making ice.

• Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for quick freezing and easy access.
• Please note that food should be consumed within the shelf time.
Freeze-Zone Drawer – this is the quick freezer chamber and items would freeze quicker in this compartment
Drawers, food boxes, shelves, etc. placed according to the position in the picture above are the most
energy efcient.
Note: Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing
effect of the refrigerator. Foods stored shall not block the air outlet; or otherwise the freezing effect will also be adversely
affected.
