Installation Instructions
• Before using the refrigerator for the first time, remove all of the packing
materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape holding accessories in
place; tear off the protective film on th e doors and the refrigerator body.
• The refrigerator should be located in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground
shall be firm, flat surface that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when
it is fully loaded.
• Choose a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
heat sources such as a stove or radiator, or in a moist area. Do not choose a
location where the temperature will go below 12°C as this could cause the
refrigerator to not function properly.
•The top space of the refrigerator shall be greater
than 30cm, and the refrigerator should be placed
against a wall with a free distance more than 10cm
to facilitate heat dissipation. This allows for proper
air circulation. This appliance is intended to be free-
standing and should not be built-in or placed in a
recessed area.
•The refrigerator legs must be adjusted during
installation in order to function properly. The leveling
legs on the front corners can be adjusted by turning
clockwise to raise the appliance, and counter-
clockwise to lower it. Be sure to have the appliance
slope slightly backward to ensure that the door
closes tightly.
Adjusting procedures:
a. Turn the feet clockwise to raise the refrigerator;
b. Turn the feet counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator;
c. Adjust the right and left feet based on the procedures above to a
horizontal level.

3) Remove the door and the bottom hinge assembly and the adjustable foot,
then assemble the bottom hinge assembly and the adjustable foot on the
other side. Remove the stopper from the right bottom side of the door, and
assemble it on the other side of the door.
Reversing the Door
1) Please power off this appliance before conduct this operation. Remove all
food from door shelves.
2) Remove the upper hinge cover, fitting screws of upper hinge and the
upper hinge, and remove the plastic screw hole cap from the other side.

4) Assemble the shaft of the top hinge as in the picture below. Put the door
on the bottom hinge, and assemble the upper hinge, upper hinge cover and
the plastic screw hole cap successively.

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 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.
•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.
•Spare enough space for convenient opening of the

Maintenance and Care of the Appliance
•Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the
cooling effect and energy saving.
•Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket
with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
•The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, 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 difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or
corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and
when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no
contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
•Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors
in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated 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.
•Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives
(such 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 or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

Troubleshooting
Water pan overflows
There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains
too much water,resulting in heavy defrosting.
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry
of air and increased water due to defrosting.
Failed operation
Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug
is in well contact .
Check whether the voltage is too low.
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped.
Door seal fails to
be tight
Remove foreign matters on the door seal.
Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an
electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).
Hot housing
Abnormal noise
Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient
temperature is high.
It is not recommended having too much food in the appliance at the same time.
Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance.
The doors are opened too frequently.
Long-time operation
of the compressor
The door is stuck by food packages.
The refrigerator is tilted.
Doors cannot be
properly closed
Surface condensation
Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is
normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate
with a clean towel.
Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes
are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which
is normal.
Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal.
When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature and
storage of too much food,it is recommended to provide sound ventilation
to facilitate heat dissipation.
Odor
Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any rotten food.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the
illuminating light is damaged. (Any replacement of the LED lamps shall be made
by the authorised agent or similar qualified personal).
Light fails to get lit
Loud noise
Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably.
Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
