R600a Isobutane Refrigerant
Hydrocarbon refrigerants have excellent refrigerant
properties and minimal low global warming potential and
no ozone depletion potential.
This appliance contains a small quantity of flammable, non-
synthetic R600a refrigerant:
Hydrocarbon refrigerants cannot be ‘retrofitted’ to the appliance
that has not been designed and approved to use that type of
refrigerant.
Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged
during transportation and installation.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or could ignite.
The room for installing the appliance must be at least 1m3per 8g
of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in the appliance can be
found on the rating plate attached to the appliance.

TRANSPORTING THE APPLIANCE &
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be transported only in a vertical position. The packing
must be intact during the transportation.
When unpacking and re-packing the appliance, please memorise the
position of each accessory of the appliance when unpacking it. When
re-packing the appliance for transportation, ensure all accessories are
secured before transportation.
Do not lift or pull the doors during transportation.
When moving the appliance, do not tilt >45 degrees
(the angle of the vertical direction). Please avoid strong
vibration and impacts that could cause damage to the appliance.
The refrigerator should be located on a firm and flat surface. An uneven
surface may cause excess operating noise or vibration.
(a) The noise may be increased if the floor is not firm.
(b) If the appliance is to be positioned on carpet flooring and heat
emitted from the appliance is a concern, place a solid sheet
under the appliance.
Choose a location which is not exposed to sunlight, high temperature or
humid, as humidity may cause staining or damage.
It is recommended a clearance of at least 50mm away
from objects and walls on both sides and back. Ensure the
clearance above the appliance is not less than 100mm and
160° clear for the doors to swing open.
If the appliance is unstable, rotating either of the front two legs in a
clockwise direction will raise the appliance.
When adjusting the front legs, ensure the appliance
slopes backwards slightly to keep the door closed.
Remove all internal packaging before operating.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Before first use, let the refrigerator stand for at least 2 hours
before connecting the power. Leave 4 to 5 hours after connecting
power before placing fresh or frozen food into the refrigerator.
PLACEMENT OF FOOD
There should always be some space between
items inside for air circulation.
Food should be kept in sealed packaging to
avoid becoming dry or spoilt.
Hot food should be cooled down before placing
into the appliance. Otherwise, the interior
temperature and power consumption will increase.
Reduce opening the door frequently.
This will increase the appliance effi
ciency and reduce
power consumption.
Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
Do not store objects which are costly or subject to temperature
variations. e.g. medication or chemicals.
Do not adjust shelving once food has been placed on them.
TEMP
. SETTINGS
Controlling the temperature of the refrigerator compartment can be set by
the control panel. Refer to item 7 on Pages 6.
Refrigerator Temperature Controls:
1) Temp. Setting 1 - LED1 (Warmest)
2) Temp. Setting 2 - LED2
3) Temp. Setting 3 - LED3

LED DISPLAY
When the refrigerator is powered on, for three (3) seconds the display
will show all temp. indicators and then display the current temp. setting.
This display will also be used to display error codes if a fault should
occur (refer to Page 16).
REFRIGERATOR TEMP. SETTING
Locate the temp. control panel (refer to item 7 on Page 6) and repeatedly
press the SET Button (refer to Button A on Page 9) to cycle through the
temp. settings. Each press of the SET Button (A) will increase the temp.
setting by one (1). When the maximum temp. setting has been reached,
pressing the SET Button again, will return the temp. setting to the
minimum setting (Temp. Setting 1).
FREEZER TEMP. SETTING
Locate the Freezer Temp. control at the rear of the
freezer section. Turn the dial to adjust the temp.
setting between Cold (minimum) and Colder
(maximum).
Note: It is recommended to keep the dial in
the central position for normal operation and avoid set to
Colder (maximum) position for an extended period of time.
ICE MAKING
To make ice cubes, fill the twist Ice tray with clean drinking water and
place back to the twist ice maker in freezer section.
To remove the cubes from the tray, twist the twist Ice tray to invert the
tray. The ice cubes will fall into the container below. Be careful opening
and closing the freezer door until the ice cubes are completely frozen to
avoid spilling water.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Adjust the temperature control to a setting that is acceptable for the
storage of the food. This will reduce the power consumption.
Only open the door when required and ensure all doors are closed
securely. Frequently opening or doors left open will increase power
consumption. To maintain good air circulation, keep the shelves and
crisper of the refrigerator as supplied, and do not block air outlets.

Be careful not to bump the refrigeration tubing. The tray may have water
in it, be careful not to spill it while removing any water in the tray. This
should be carried out at least once a year. Use a sponge or towel to
soak up the water from the drip tray into a bucket. Discard the water
appropriately.
6. Please check the points below after maintenance:
1) Is there any damage or loss of the power lead?
2) Can the power plug be inserted into the power socket correctly?
3) Is the power plug and/or lead heating up?

DISCONNECTION OF THE APPLIANCE
If a power failure occurs, even in summer, the refrigerator could store food
normally for some time.
1, Power failure
During a power failure, do not put additional food in the appliance and
reduce opening the door frequently.
Place several ice cubes into a container if power failure is anticipated
beforehand, and place it in the top of the fridge.
2, Power failure during vacation
Before departure of a short vacation, remove any items that could spoil
if a power failure occurs. Ensure the door is closed firmly.
If going on a long vacation, remove all items, clean and wipe dry the
internal of the appliance, prior to disconnecting the power and leave the
door open.
3, Storage of appliance
If the refrigerator will be stopped for a long period of time (storage),
remove all items, clean and wipe dry the internal of the appliance,
unplug the appliance from the power outlet. The door should be kept
open in order to prevent unpleasant odours.
Unplugging the appliance from the power outlet, please
leave at least 5 minutes before reconnection.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following cases are not malfunctions:
1. Moisture may form as condensation on the outside of the appliance
during humid conditions. To remove excess moisture, wipe clean.
2. The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause gurgling,
similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the appliance.
3. It is normal that the sides of the appliance will get warm as a result of
the refrigeration system operation.
4. The appliance operation could cause electrical interference to electrical
equipment.
SYMPTOM: The refrigerator does not work.
SUGGESTION: It may not be connected to the power supply (plug, power
failure or blown fuse) and switched on. Check that the temperature dial is
not set to the minimum position.

16
SYMPTOM: The refrigerator does not work efficiently as expected.
SUGGESTION: It may be caused by heavy frost, warm temperature
setting, frequently opening the door or low voltage.
SYMPTOM: It makes an unusual noise.
SUGGESTION: It may be caused by an unbalanced appliance or unstable
surface, bottles are incorrectly placed and rattling, vibration from an object
on top of, behind or beside the appliance.
SYMPTOM: The compressor keeps working for a long period.
SUGGESTION: The environment temperature may be too high. The doors
may be opened frequently or they are left open. The temperature setting
may increase the working time of the compressor. Large amounts of warm
food recently placed in the appliance may also cause this symptom.
SYMPTOM: Unpleasant odours.
SUGGESTION: Interior may need cleaning. Some foods produce strong
odours, some containers can also cause odours. Food should be packed
tightly before being placed inside the appliance. Check if any food has
spoilt in the appliance.
SYMPTOM: Heavy frost occurs in the freezer compartment.
SUGGESTION: Make sure the door is correctly closed and the seal is not
obstructed.
SYMPTOM: Refrigerator temperature is too cold.
SUGGESTION: Check the position of the temperature dial.
