INITIAL OPERATION
• All the accessories have been installed. After unpacking, please take away the foamed plastic
mattress and sticking strips.
• put food into refrigerator after the cabinet temperature being lowered. For initial operation, it is
about 3 hours for the cabinet temperature lowering to the lowest point.
• Wipe the cabinet casually because it has been cleaned. It doesn’t matter that there is some
plastic smell when open the door. It will disappear after cooling.
PLACEMENT
• It should not be placed under the sunlight or close to heat sources such as oven ,heating
radiator. It also should not be placed in such a place as moisture or easy to be splashed.
• Place it on a firm flat surface. Unlevelled floor will cause vibration and noise.
• Good ventilation around the refrigerator can let the heat out smoothly, improving the cooling
efficiency and saving energy. Do not lie anything on the top of the refrigerator in order to
keep a good efficiency of refrigerating.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
• The cabinet temperature is controlled by the thermostat on the inner right cabinet wall. Rotate
it to adjust the cabinet temperature.
• The right position of the thermostat is in depends on the temperature you choose. The
cabinet temperature has something with the outside temperature, door opening frequency,
the amount of storing food and the refrigerator’s placement. You can adjust the thermostat
according to the current condition.
• The thermostat knob generally is in the medium grade. When the room temperature is lower, it
should be between the medium grade and strong grade and it is closer to the latter with the
room temperature becoming lower. Conversely, the thermostat should be between the
medium grade and the weak grade. And it is closer to the weak grade with the room
temperature becoming higher and higher.
DEFROSTING
• The refrigerator should be defrosted when thick frost or ice (about 3-4mm) appeared on the
evaporator surface, or it will effect the refrigerating and have more power consumption. Put
the water tray under the evaporator to draw the melted water as defrosting. Cut off the power
or turn the thermostat knob to “off” to stop the refrigerator. Then take out the food and open
