Important Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the refrigerator is connected to a properly grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded adapters.
• Ventilation: Allow adequate space around the refrigerator for proper ventilation. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Flammable Materials: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Child Safety: Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Old refrigerators can be dangerous if left unattended.
• Cleaning: Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Setup and Installation

Unpacking

1. Remove all packaging materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape.
2. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage during transit. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
3. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent before use.

Placement

• Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface strong enough to support its weight when fully loaded.
• Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., stove, heater) as this will affect cooling performance and energy consumption.
• Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.

Leveling

The refrigerator must be level for proper operation. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom front of the unit by turning them clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower.

Initial Power-On

After placement and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the refrigerator into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Temperature Control

The temperature control dial is located inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to adjust the cooling intensity. Higher numbers indicate colder temperatures. Start with a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4) and adjust as needed based on ambient temperature and food load.

Food Storage Guidelines

• Refrigerator Compartment: Ideal for fresh foods, beverages, and dairy products. Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawer to maintain freshness.
• Freezer Compartment: Suitable for frozen foods. Ensure packages are sealed to prevent freezer burn.
• Do not overload the refrigerator, as this can impede air circulation and cooling efficiency.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Defrosting

This refrigerator features manual defrost. Frost buildup in the freezer compartment should be removed regularly to maintain efficiency. To defrost:

1. Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet.
2. Remove all food items from both compartments and store them in a cooler.
3. Leave the doors open to allow frost to melt naturally. Place towels at the bottom to absorb water.
4. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging it back in and returning food.

Cleaning

• Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Clean the door gaskets periodically to ensure a tight seal.
