• Before initial use, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before
connecting it to power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods in the unit, leave the refrigerator
to run for 2-3 hours, or for longer than 4 hours in summer when the
ambient temperature is high.
• Allow enough space for the convenient opening of the doors and
drawers.

Energy Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located 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 ecient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at the same time and close the door as soon as possible.

soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odour.
• Please turn o the power before cleaning the interior and remove all foods, drinks, shelves,
drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking
soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the
door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are dicult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow gaps or corners), it is
recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. to ensure no contaminants
or bacteria accumulates in these areas.
• 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.

as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil,
etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge
surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene
may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid
short circuits and not aect electrical insulation after immersion.
WARNING! Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.
Defrosting
• Power o the refrigerator.
• Remove the food from the refrigerator and store it properly to prevent food from melting.
• Clear the drain pipe (use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner) and prepare the water
containers for defrosting. (pay attention when cleaning the compressor compartment water
draining tray to avoid overow to the ground).
• You can use the ambient temperature for the natural defrosting, and use the ice shovel to
eliminate the frost (use a plastic or wooden ice shovel to avoid damage to the liner or pipe)
• You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel
to dry the water after defrosting.
