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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use, let the refrigerator stand for 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 efficiency 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.

SWITCH BETWEEN FRIDGE & FREEZER - TEMP. SETTING
Setting the temperature also acts as the switch between Refrigerator and
Freezer. To do this, first UNLOCK the control panel by holding the Keypad
Lock / Unlock button (refer to item 8 on page 11) for at least 3 seconds.
Press either button 3 or 4 to set the temperature. The temperature will
flash on the display. Set the temperature from -24oC to -12oC to set the
appliance to FREEZER mode. A warmer temp. (between 2oC and 8oC) will
set the appliance to FRIDGE mode. To exit temperature settings, do not
press a button for at least 30 seconds.
You can lock the keypad at any point (refer below) and the temperature
settings will take effect.
QUICK FREEZE
To set QUICK FREEZE, ensure the control panel is UNLOCKED.
Press the Quick Freeze button (refer to page 11 item 5) to enter Quick
Freeze mode. The temperature will be set to -24oC (-11oF) will be
displayed. The default Quick Freeze duration is 6 hours. You can press
button 8 to lock the keypad or 5 to cancel Quick Freeze.
NOTE: It is not advisable to use Quick Freeze for 48 hours.
ICE MAKING
To make ice cubes, fill an ice maker tray using a
measuring cup (not supplied) with clean drinking water
and place in the freezer section.
To remove the cubes from the tray, first run water on
the tray while gently twisting and inverting the tray.
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.

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.
