INSTALLATION
Installing on a firm and flat surface- Unstable installation is the main reason   of vibration and noise.- When the refrigerator is installed unstably,   it can be stabilized by adjusting the   adjustable foot.- Slightly rising the front part of the   refrigerator allow you to close the door   very easily.- When installed on a carpet or floor,please put   a firm mat under the refrigerator otherwise   the bottom part will change colour.
Keep an appropriate distance between the wall- To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge-
freezer,  please  maintain sufficient space  on both 
the  sides  as well As  top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.- A smaller gap will restrict the operation of the   refrigerator,which may result in an increase in   power.
Installing in a less humid environment- Do not install the refrigerator in a humid place   or where water can easily be splashed.- If the refrigerator is installed in a humid  environment,it will go moldy.This will lower  insulation property and cause electricity leakage
Avoid installing near heat and gas- High temperature will lower the refrigeration   and increase the power consumption.- Installing near gas or smoke will change the   surface colour of the refrigerator.

SAFETY GUARDS
●  Please use the exclusive power socket.   - If the refrigerator uses the same power socket     as other electrical appliances,the socket could     be overloaded abnormally and fire may be     resulted,which may cause a fire.
●  Please unplug the refrigerator before     changing the light bulb.   - Changing the light bulb as the refrigerator      is operating may cause an electric shock.
●  Please note that the back of the     refrigerator should not touch the power plug.  - The power plug being pressed could be     easily damaged and this may cause fire or     electric shock.
●  Please do not put heavy things on top of the refrigerator.   - When you open the door, the heavy things      could easily fall down and hurt you.
●  Please unplug the refrigerator first      before cleaning.Do not do this with     wet hands.   - This may probably cause electric shock.
●  Please do not climb on the door.   - The refrigerator could be turned over and      hurt small children.
●  Please do not store flammable      things like ether,benzene,alcohol      and liquefied gas in the refrigerator.   - Flammable things like ether,benzene,alcohol     and liquefied gas may cause fire. 
●  Please do not store medicine or      academic information in the      refrigerator.  -  Things which require strict      temperature control should      not be stored in the refrigerator,      otherwise they will go bad or      produce accidental effect.

●  Please keep away from fire.   - Can cause fire.●  In case of a gas leak,please do not 
     touch the refrigerator and the power 
     socket, you should open the windows 
     and the door for ventilation.   - As a spark may cause     a explosion and     lead to fire.
●  Please do not place water container      such as vases,glasses,cosmetic or      medicine on top of the refrigerator.    - Liquid spilt over      the refrigerator      will reduce the      insulation effect,      and may cause      an electric shock      or fire.
●  Please do not store bottles in the     freezing compartment.   - As bottles in the freezing compartment,     liquid inside will be frozen and the     bottle will break.
●  Please do not install in a humid place     or where water can easily be splashed.
  - This will reduce the insulation effect and may     cause an electric shock.
●  Please unplug the refrigerator if it is    not to be used for a long time.   - Reduced insulation may cause an
     electric shock or fire.
●  During transportation,please hold the     adjustable feet at the bottom of the     refrigerator and the upper handle at     the back.

Initial operation●Clean the inner part of the refrigerator before using.
●Do not put foods into the refrigerator until it has been plugged in for 3 hours.
Temperature control●The thermostat used for controlling the temperature inside the refrigerator is located on the   top of the refrigerator.●The figure on the thermostat does not stand for a practical value. The smaller the figure is,   the higher the temperature inside the refrigerator is.●Temperature control
● Power failure leads to the rising of the freezing compartment's temperature,this may shorten
   the storage of foods and decline the quality.● If the power supply is off for too long,be sure to get rid of any water or ice underside the
    drawer of the freezing compartment before reconnection of the power supply, so as to avoid    the foods and the ice freezing together.

HOW TO USE 
DefrostAs the refrigerator operates, the moisture from foods or in the air may be frosted on to the inner part of the refrigerator and the surface of evaporator. Too thick frost will affect the operation of the refrigerator, soregularly defrosting is necessary. Usually, defrosting is necessary when the thickness reaches 5 mm.
●Refrigerator compartment   Defrosts automatically, moisture on the inner side runs   into the drip tray through the drain pipe. The heat gene-   rated by compressor evaporates the water automatically.
- keep the drain pipe straight so that water can inpour  into the drip tray. When it's blocked,take out the drain  cover,clean it and then replace it.
Freezing compartmentBefore defrosting—turn the thermostat knob to "0",open the door,take out foods and drawers in the freezing compartment,foods may be put into refrigerator compartment temporarily.Defrosting—remove the frost on the inner side of the freezing compartment and on the surface of the evaporator with the ice scraper,then wipe off the water with a dry cloth.After defrost—turn the thermostat knob to the former position.
Drain pipe
Note:
Tip：To remove ice cubes easily, run water 
          on the tray before twisting.
