of the refrigerator and the upper handle at th
e
back 
.
2.
  During transportation, please note that the
refrigerator should not be tilted.
3.
  When transporting to a more distant place, the
refrigerator should be placed vertically on the
vehicle. (Otherwise problem will exist)

Adjustable Foot
Note:
1. The earth wire of this electrical appliance has been connected to the power plug ,please do not
change the power plug on your own. 
2. Plug your refrigerator into a standard 220V household outlet,make sure the socket is properly
earthed. 
3. If you receive an electrical shock by touching any part of the refrigerator,you should stop using the refrigerator immediately and contact the specified maintenance service unit or the retail

INSTALLATION
4
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.

• Please keep away from fire.- Can cause fire.

• Please do not install\V in a humid place or wherewater can easily be splas\Vhed.- This will reduce the insulation effect and \0may cause an electric shock.

• During transportation,pl\Vease hold the adju- stable feet at the bott\Vom of the refrigerator an\Vd
the upper handle at the back.- Otherwise,the refrigerator may fall down.
• Please do not place wat\Ver container such as
vases, glasses, cosmetic \Vor medicine on top of 
the refrigerator.- Liquid spilt over the refrigerator will reduce the
insulation effect, and may
cause an electric shock or
fire.

HOW TO USE
7
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
If power failure is known in advance,please
• Turn the thermostat to "7" two hours before power failure.
• Place more ice cubes in the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place anymore food in the refrigerator.
• Do not open the door more than necessary.
• 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

Defrost
As the refrigerator operates, the moisture from foods
or in the air may be frosted on to the inner part of the
re-frigerator and the surface of evaporator.Too thick
frost will affect the operation of the refrigerator, so
regularly defrosting is necessary.Usually,defrostin g is
necessary when the thickness reaches 5mm.
• 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.

Drain pipe
- 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 compartment
Before 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.
Ice making
• Fill the ice tray with water to 4/5 of its
capacity and place it into the freezing 
compartment,tum the thermostat knob 
to "6".
• Twist the both sides of the ice tray so
as to remove the ice cubes easily.
