Structure and Parts
The refrigerator consists of the following key parts:
- Coping: The top section of the unit.
- Glass door: Provides visibility into the refrigerator.
- Air suction: Located at the bottom, this is where air is drawn in to circulate cold air inside the refrigerator. Never block the air suction.
- Air outlet: Located at the top, this is where cold air is expelled. Never block the air outlet to ensure proper cold air circulation.
- Rack: The height of the racks is adjustable for various goods. To adjust:
- Take out the rack.
- Move the rack support to the desired height.
- Place the rack back on the support.

Handle and Erection
Follow these guidelines for safe handling and proper placement:
| Action/Condition | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Handling | Handle with care. Unplug the wall socket first. Never tilt the unit more than 45 degrees during handling. ⚠️ |
| Location - Dry Place | Always locate the refrigerator in a dry place. ❌ |
| Location - Space | Ensure sufficient space. The distance from both sides and back of the refrigerator to walls or other substances must be at least 10cm. Insufficient space can decrease refrigeration capability due to poor air circulation. [10cm diagram description] |
| Location - Ventilation | Ensure well ventilation. Always locate the refrigerator in a place with good ventilation. For the first use, wait for 2 hours after handling before plugging in the wall socket and starting the unit. |
| Location - Heat Source | Keep away from heat sources. Never place the refrigerator directly under the sunshine or near any heat source or heater to prevent reduction in refrigeration capability. ❌ |
| Loading Top | Do not place heavy loads on top of the refrigerator. ❌ |
| Modification | Never make holes on the refrigerator. Never install other items onto the refrigerator. |
| Stability | Ensure a stable location. Unpack and place the refrigerator on a flat and solid surface. [stable location diagram description] |
Preparation and Power Supply
Proper power connection and preparation are crucial for operation:
| Action/Condition | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Power Socket | Use an exclusive power socket. The power supply should typically be 220-240V single-phase AC with an exclusive single-phase three-pin receptacle (250V, 10A) and a 6A fuse. The power receptacle must have a reliable earth connection. [power socket diagram description] |
| Socket Sharing | Never share the socket with other appliances. Sharing can cause the cable to overheat and potentially lead to fire. [socket sharing diagram description] ❌ |
| Cable Protection | Protect cables. Never break or damage the cables, as this can result in current leakage and fire. [cable protection diagram description] ❌ |
| Water Flushing | Never flush the refrigerator surface with water. This can cause current leakage. [water flushing diagram description] ❌ |
| Flammables/Explosives | Prevent from flammables and explosives. Never place any flammable or explosive materials inside the refrigerator, such as ether, gasoline, alcohol, or adhesives. Do not place dangerous products nearby. [flammable storage diagram description] ❌ |
| Spraying | Do not spray flammable substances like paint or coating near the refrigerator. This is not allowed and may result in fire. [spray caution diagram description] ❌ |
| After Power Break | After a power break or unplugging the refrigerator, always wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it back in and restarting. [timer/refrigerator diagram description] |
| Medicine Storage | No medicine is allowed to be kept inside the refrigerator. [medicine bottles diagram description] ❌ |
Use and Caution
1. Before Use:
- Plug the refrigerator into a 220-240V~ exclusive socket.
- After the refrigerator starts running, place your hand on the air suction to confirm it is sufficiently cold. Then, you may place food inside the cold box.
2. Digital Temperature Controller:
[Image Description: A digital temperature controller panel showing 'Refrigerant LED', 'Defrost LED', a display showing '05', and control buttons labeled 'SET', '∧', '∨'.]
Features Of Function:
- It is a mini-sized and integrated intelligent controller, applicable to compressors up to 1 Hp.
- Main functions include: Temperature Display, Temperature Control, Manual/Automatic Defrost (by burning off), Illumination Control, Value Storing, Self Testing, and Parameter Locking.
Front Panel Operation:
- Set Temperature:
- Press the 'SET' button; the set temperature will be displayed.
- Press the '∧' or '∨' button to modify and store the displayed value.
- Press the 'SET' button again to exit the adjustment and display the cold-room temperature.
- If no button is pressed within 10 seconds, the cold-room temperature will be displayed.
- Illumination: Press the 'light' button; it turns on. Press again to turn it off.
- Manual Start/Stop Defrost: Press and hold the 'defrost' button for 6 seconds to initiate or stop defrosting.
- Refrigerant LED: The LED is ON during refrigeration. It is OFF when the cold room temperature is constant. It flashes during delay start.
- Defrost LED: The LED is ON during defrosting. It is OFF when defrosting stops. It flashes during the delay display of defrost.
3. Cautions:
- Shorten door open time and reduce opening frequency to maintain a cold temperature inside the refrigerator.
- Never block the air suction and outlet. Ensure proper air circulation and refrigeration capability.
- Do not over-congest food, as this will affect the cooling effect. Adjust rack height for proper food storage.
- Cool hot food down to room temperature before placing it into the refrigerator.
- Try to minimize door openings and keep the refrigerator cold in case of a power outage.
- Only skilled service personnel with special tools should repair damaged power cables.
- Never touch the compressor to avoid burns.

Note
The following phenomena are not considered troubles:
- The murmur of water heard when the refrigerator is working is a normal phenomenon caused by the coolant circulating in the system.
- In wet seasons, condensation may appear on the outside of the refrigerator due to high humidity. This is not a fault; simply wipe it with a cloth.
Principle of Refrigeration System
The principle of compression refrigeration involves four main stages: "compression", "condensation", "throttling", and "vaporization".
- Compression: Undertaken by the compressor.
- Condensation: Completed by the condenser.
- Throttling: Executed by the capillary tube.
- Vaporization: Implemented by the evaporator.
When the coolant circulates in the closed refrigeration system, the compressor draws in coolant that has absorbed heat in the evaporator. The coolant becomes a high-pressure, high-temperature gas. In the condenser, it dissipates heat into the air, becoming re-liquefied. It is then throttled in the capillary tube and enters the evaporator at low pressure. The liquefied coolant quickly boils and vaporizes into gas when the pressure suddenly drops, absorbing heat from inside the refrigerator. The compressor then sucks in this low-pressure, low-temperature gaseous coolant, continuing the cycle to achieve refrigeration.
[Image Description: A schematic diagram illustrating the refrigeration cycle. It shows a drying filter, capillary device, compressor, and evaporator. Arrows indicate the flow of 'liquid' and 'gas' between these components. Labels specify 'high pressure and high temperature gas' entering the condenser (implied) and 'low pressure gas' entering the evaporator and then the compressor.]

[Image Description: Symbol of a crossed-out wheeled dustbin, indicating proper waste disposal.]
Meaning of crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
- Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste. Use separate collection facilities.
- Contact your local government for information regarding available collection systems.
- If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and enter the food chain, potentially damaging your health and well-being.
- When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for disposal at no charge.
