placed in an environment
which is dry, has good
ventilation, far from direct
sunshine and heat source.
>30cm
>10cm >10cm
The refrigerator shall be
placed on a flat and firm
surface. If the ground is not
flat, adjust the adjusting leg
to keep it level.
Never place the refrigerator
into a very cold environment
that may get frozen.

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 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.
Please refer to the product introduction picture on page 5 for the placement of accessories.
