4. Setup and Installation
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the refrigerator for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
- Placement: Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stoves, heaters). Ensure adequate air circulation around the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Leveling: Use the adjustable legs at the bottom of the unit to level the refrigerator. Proper leveling is crucial for efficient operation and door alignment.
- Initial Power-On: After placing and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the unit into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
- Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

5. Operating Instructions
- Temperature Control: The temperature control knob is located inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the knob to adjust the cooling intensity. A higher number typically indicates colder temperatures. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed.
- Adjustable Shelves: The wire shelves can be repositioned to accommodate items of different heights. To adjust, lift the shelf slightly and pull it out. Reinsert into desired slots.
- Chiller Tray: The chiller tray is designed for making ice or storing small frozen items. Do not overload the chiller tray.
- Food Storage: Store food items in sealed containers to prevent odor transfer and maintain freshness. Avoid placing hot food directly into the refrigerator.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Defrosting: This direct cool refrigerator requires manual defrosting. When frost accumulates to a thickness of about 5mm (0.2 inches) on the freezer compartment walls, it's time to defrost. Unplug the unit, remove all food items, and allow the frost to melt naturally. You can place a towel at the bottom to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
- Door Gasket: Clean the door gasket regularly to ensure a tight seal. A dirty or damaged gasket can lead to inefficient cooling.
- Power Outage: In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible.
