The refrigerator section is used to refrigerate fruit, vegetable, eggs milk etc. The Freezer compartment is used for frozen food such as fish, meat, making ice etc. 5 PREPARATION BEFORE USING Moving · When moving the fridge, ensure it is tilted no more than 45 degrees and handle carefully. · Do not use the door handle to lift the refrigerator. · Do not invert, throw or drop the refrigerator. · Rated power supply: 12V/24V DC; · The power supply wire cannot be lengthened. Ensure the power cable is kept in good order. Do not coil the wire or place it under furniture or other heavy items. It is advised that wire is NOT placed near the compressor due to it's high temperature at times. · If the power supply wire is damaged then please go back to place of purchase to buy another. Placement · The refrigerator must be placed in dry, cool, and ventilated place away from heat sources (such as a stove, or flue) and avoid direct sun light. · Allow for space around the fridge for good air circulation (see image on the right): · Top: 30cm Sides: 10cm Back: 20cm · Place the refrigerator on a floor that is flat and strong enough to support it when It's fully loaded. If the floor is not flat enough, then adjust the feet (shown in figure l) to level the refrigerator. When not level it will cause vibration and noise. · If the refrigerator is placed on carpet, please place wooden boards under the refrigerator. Or the hot air produced by compressor may discolor the carpet. WARNING: Remove the packaging plate under the bottom of the refrigerator before using. 6 OPERATION · Unpack the fridge, remove the carton and place the refrigerator as per installation instructions. · Although the refrigerator has been cleaned before leaving the factory, we strongly recommend to use soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little neutral detergent to clean it again. After that wipe it with a dry soft cloth. (Warning: Electrical parts can be wiped by a dry cloth only) · Plug in the refrigerator and open the door. You will see the light in the refrigerator is on. Set the thermostat button at 3 to start compressor After 30 minutes,open the freezer door. When you feel the temperature is obviously decreasing, the refrigerating system works properly. After the refrigerator works for a while, the thermostat will keep the temperature in setting range automatically. · For first time use, please put foods into the refrigerator after it cools down. NORMAL SITUATIONS · The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sounds. · When it is raining outside and there is high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of refrigerator or near the door gaskets. · You can wipe any damp surfaces with dry cloth. · The temperature on the back panel and doorframes maybe high (particularly in summer) due to the heat emission of the condenser and defrost heater. · External surfaces near the compressor may become warm when the compressor is working. · The compressor may cause a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at starting or stopping step. · When the refrigerator is working some dew or frost may be found on back panel inside the refrigerator. 7 FOOD STORAGE Freezer (Below-18"C) · Meat should be cut and wrapped tightly, and then evenly placed in the freezer. · After buying frozen food, put it in the freezer whilst it is still in frozen. · Do not put fruit and vegetable in the freezer in order to avoid freeze-drying · Do not put any liquid in a sealed vessel into the freezer or there is a possibility of explosion as the liquid freezes and expands. Refrigerator (0 °C~5°C) · Eggs, butter, milk and bottled drinks can be put in the refrigerator. · Fruit and vegetables should be put in the crisper to retain moisture. · Hot food should be allowed to cool before its placed into the fridge or freezer, which could help to save power. · Food should be packed into zip lock or vacuum packed bags. Leaving space between these items to allow the circulation of cool air between them. Quick-freezing · Food is frozen by a rapid process to retain natural flavor and nutritional value. · Quick-freezing is better than normal-freezing for Meat storage. · To start quick-freezing, you must set the temperature control at 6~7 and put the food in the middle of the freezer. After quick-freezing finishes set the temperature control back to normal position. TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER · The temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the refrigerator. "1" is least cold and "7"is most cold. You can adjust it according to your requirement. A setting of 0 will force the refrigerator to stop. · You can set the temperature controller at proper position according to the ambient temperature and the amount of contents loaded into the refrigerator. · Normally, we recommend setting it at"3 ~ ?4"considering the balance between keeping food fresh and saving energy. 8 TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUE Refrigerator does not work Refrigerator compartments are too warm SUGGESTED REMEDY · Check if the switch is on. · Check if the plug and socket are connected well. · Check if the fuse has been burnt. · Check if the power supply has malfunctioned. · Frequently turning the fridge off and on may result in the compressor taking some time to engage. · The lid is opened frequently. · A large amount of warm or hot food was stored recently. · The refrigerator has been disconnected for a long time. Food is frozen There is "water flow" noise from inside the refrigerator There are waterdrops around the refrigerator casing or door gap The compressor is slightly noisy when starting The temperature has been set too low This is normal, caused by the flow of refrigerant. This is normal, the moisture will condense to water when it touches a cold surface of the refrigerator. This is normal, the noise will be reduced after the compressor works stably. 9 CLEANING, CARE, STORAGE & MAINTENANCE WARNING: Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to loosen objects frozen in place.
