Electrical Connection
Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated 230V, 50Hz grounded power outlet. This model features Stabilizer Free Operation, designed to withstand voltage fluctuations from 110V to 300V. It also supports Auto Connect to Home Inverter for continuous cooling during power outages.
Initial Use
Before loading food, clean the interior with a mild detergent and water. Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2-3 hours to reach optimal cooling temperature.
4. Operating Your Refrigerator
Temperature Control
The temperature control dial is typically located inside the refrigerator compartment. Adjust it to your desired cooling level. A higher setting provides colder temperatures.
Freezer Zone
The dedicated freezer zone is designed for freezing and storing frozen foods. For optimal freezing, ensure items are properly sealed.

5. Maintenance and Care
Cleaning

- Easy Clean Back: The refrigerator features an easy-clean back design, simplifying maintenance and preventing dust accumulation.
- Anti-Bacterial Gasket: Clean the door gasket regularly to ensure a tight seal and prevent bacterial growth.
Defrosting
This is a Direct Cool refrigerator with a Manual Defrost System. When frost builds up to about 5mm thickness in the freezer compartment, manually defrost the unit. Turn off the refrigerator, remove all food, and allow the frost to melt naturally. Clean and dry the interior before restarting.
Power Saving Tips
- Avoid opening the door frequently or for extended periods.
- Ensure the door gasket is clean and sealing properly.
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
- Keep the condenser coils at the back clean for efficient operation.
