• Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

• This appliance should not be used by children aged 8 years and above or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are supervised or instructed concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision. Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload refrigerating appliances.
• To avoid the possibility of child entrapment, please take the following precautions before disposing of the refrigerator:
  • Remove all doors from the unit.
  • Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb inside.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar situations such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential-type environments;
• Bed-and-breakfast environments;
• Catering and similar non-retail applications.

This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.

This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

WARNING: This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which is compatible with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimise the possibility of electrical shock.

This refrigerator requires a standard 220-240V/50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong grounded socket.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock.

This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling, so as to prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket.

Do not use an extension cable with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Diagram of Refrigerator Components:

Figure A and B show internal views of the refrigerator. Key components labeled include:

• 1. Evaporator
• 2. Ice tray
• 3. Water tray
• 4. Shelf
• 5. Thermostat
• 6. Door seal
• 7. Bottle guard
• 8. Lamp switch (in Figure B)

Installation Method

1. The ground should be level, solid and dry.
2. Avoid placing upside down or horizontally. The angle should be not more than 45° between the cabinet and the ground if inclination is necessary.
3. Leave a space of 30cm above the refrigerator and 5cm on either side and behind the refrigerator, otherwise air will not be able to circulate properly, reducing the freezing effect, and increasing energy consumption.
4. Place your refrigerator in a space where there is less humidity, so as to improve electronic insulation and avoid rust.
5. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat sources (stove, warmer etc.) or in direct sunlight.

How to Use the Refrigerator

1. When operating the refrigerator for the first time, leave the empty refrigerator to operate until it stops, which will usually take 2-3 hours (10 hours in summer), then adjust the thermostat knob.
2. Install the accessories in the appropriate positions according to the diagram.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to between 3 and 4; insert the power plug into the socket.
4. Pour cooled boiled water into the ice tray up to the water lever line. Put the ice tray into the evaporator. Turn the thermostat dial to 7 above the ice tray. Ice takes 2 - 3 hours to form. Slightly rotate the ice tray when removing the ice.
5. Defrosting is needed when the frost layer on the evaporator reaches 3 - 4mm. First, disconnect from the power supply, then open the door, take out the ice tray and all food. The refrigerator will begin to defrost. Wipe and dry the evaporator after defrosting has finished. Then return the food to its place.

Attention!

• When storing food, wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in a container with a lid; this prevents odours and keeps it dry. Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• There should be sufficient space between each item of food; do not store too much food.
• To save electricity, do not open the door too frequently.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• The temperature inside can be lower if the drip tray is taken out during performance testing.

Maintenance

1. Periodical maintenance may prolong the refrigerator's life. For safety reasons, the power cord must be disconnected before maintenance.
2. Abrasive powder, detergent powder, sodium carbonate, benzene, petrol, acid alcohol, hot water etc. must not be used to clean the refrigerator; these may damage the paint coat and the plastic.

Safety Inspection After Maintenance:

• Power wire: broken or not?
• Power plug: hot abnormal or not?
• Power plug: plug properly inserted or not?

Troubleshooting Guide

Replacing Illuminating Lamp:

Disconnect the power supply before replacing the illuminating lamp.

Remove the used bulb by rotating anticlockwise.
