Unpacking

- Level the appliance using the adjustable feet to ensure proper door closing and operation.

Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the controls and features of your refrigerator.
Initial Start-up
After connecting the appliance to power, allow it to run for several hours (e.g., 6-12 hours) before placing food inside. This allows the interior to reach the optimal temperature.
Temperature Control
The temperature inside the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat. Adjust the thermostat dial to your desired setting. A medium setting is usually recommended for general use. Higher settings result in colder temperatures.
Food Storage Guidelines
- Store cooked foods and dairy products on upper shelves.
- Raw meat and fish should be stored in sealed containers on the lowest shelf to prevent dripping onto other foods.
- Fruits and vegetables should be stored in the crisper drawer.
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator; allow it to cool to room temperature first.
- Ensure all food is covered to prevent drying out and odor transfer.

Door Alarm
Your refrigerator is equipped with a door alarm feature. If the refrigerator door is left open for an extended period, an audible alarm will sound to alert you, helping to conserve energy and maintain internal temperature.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
Cleaning the Interior
- Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Clean the interior regularly with a solution of warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Wipe dry thoroughly to prevent mold and odors.
- Removable shelves and drawers can be washed separately.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Defrosting
This refrigerator features static cooling. Frost may accumulate on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal. The frost will automatically defrost during the compressor's off cycle, and the water will evaporate. If a thick layer of ice builds up, manually defrost the appliance by unplugging it and allowing the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, check the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator does not operate. | No power, plug loose, fuse blown. | Check power supply, plug, and fuse. |
| Temperature is not cold enough. | Thermostat setting too high, door opened frequently, warm food placed inside. | Adjust thermostat, minimize door openings, allow food to cool before storing. |
| Excessive noise. | Appliance not level, objects touching the back. | Level the appliance, ensure clearance from walls. |
| Water on the bottom of the refrigerator. | Drain hole blocked. | Clear the drain hole with a small, soft tool. |
| Door alarm sounds frequently. | Door not closing properly, door left open too long. | Ensure door is fully closed, check for obstructions, reduce door open time. |
