3. Level ground
Place the larder on a solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else it will give rise
to vibration and noise.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the larder is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately.
Make sure you allow a minimum of 4 hours before turning on the power of the larder.
2. Cleaning
Before use ensure you cleans the internal compartments and all shelves and accessories
with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the power socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the larder
door, if the temperature inside the larder compartment drops obviously, it indicates the
refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the larder runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the larder will be
automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. After the larder is
fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer,
when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to
be fully cooled (Try to open the larder door as less as possible before the internal
temperature cools down).
If the larder is installed in a moisture filled room, make sure to check whether the ground wire
and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the larder
making contact with the wall, or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the
compressor, move the larder away from the wall. Setting up the larder may cause jamming
noise or image chaos to mobile phones, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television sets
surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible from these items.

V. Instructions for food storage
Precautions for use
• The appliance might not operate consistently (if there is a possibility of defrosting or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when running for an
extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed
• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as, the location of the
appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door being opened, etc., and if
appropriate, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to
allow for these factors should be made.
• Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-
temperature compartment, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed
too cold.
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the
refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of foods that do not require to be
frozen, as well as cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation,
milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2ºC & 8ºC , and store
the foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time in the fresh
food compartment.
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when
installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. Keep the shelf rear flange
upward, to prevent foods from contact of fridge wall. When taking out or putting in the
shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the
cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal
temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.
Cautions for food storage
Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them, to prevent water
evaporation. Keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one section, this will help to prevent taint
of odor in other sections of the refrigerator.
Do not over crowd the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods because if foods
are too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not
store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing
the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods
too close to the fridge rear wall, as there will be a risk of them becoming frozen to the inner
wall.

If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual
Categorised storage of foods
Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the
shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration
can be avoided.
Energy-saving tips: Allow hot food to cool down to the room temperature before putting it in
the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.
Tips for Fridge Storage.
•Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the
larder.
•To avoid contamination and odour transfer, foods should be packed and/or covered by
suitable materials. Eg firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and
pollution-free.
•Leave space between foods in the larder to ensure suitable cool air flow around food
products.

Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the larder compartment inner wall
(or evaporator) surface, which may affect the refrigeration performance if exceeding 5mm in
thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost off using an ice scraper rather than
the metal or sharp object. Frost needs to be cleared off every 3 months, or if the frost is affecting
the normal use of the drawers and or the refrigeration performance. Use the following steps to
remove frost:
1. Take out chilled foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the larder door, and gently
remove the frost from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the thawing process,
it is suggested to place a bowl of hot water inside the larder, and when the solid ice
particles become loose, use an ice scraper to remove from surface.
2. After defrosting, clean the larder inside, and switch on the power supply.
