THIS REFRIGERATOR IS MANUFACTURED WITH GREAT CARE, AND INCORPORATES
THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY.
WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE FULLY SATISFIED WITH ITS PERFORMANCE
AND RELIABILITY.
BEFORE YOU START YOUR REFRIGERATOR, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
IT PROVIDES EXACT INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND
MAINTENANCE, AND ALSO SUPPLIES SOME USEFUL HINTS.
INSTALLATION
1. Select a good location.
Place your refrigerator where it is easy to use.
5. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off
all dust accumulated during shipping.
2. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct
sunlight, or moisture.
6. Install accessories such as ice tray, shelf, etc.,
in their proper places.They are packed together
to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. There must be proper air circulation around
your refrigerator to keep it operating efficiently.
If your refrigerator is placed in a recessed area
in the wall, allow at least a 10 inch or greater
clearance above the refrigerator and 2 inches or
more from the wall.
The refrigerator should be elevated 1 inch from
the floor, especially if it is carpeted.
7. Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the
outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on
the same outlet.
8. Prior to use, leave your refrigerator on for 2 or 3
hours.
Check the flow of cold air on the evaporator to
ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
4. To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level.
If required, adjust the leveling screw to
compensate for unevenness of the floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear
to aid in door closing.
The leveling screw can be turned easily by
tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise the
unit, counterclockwise to lower it.

OPERATION
DEFROSTING
●
It is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensure efficient operation.
The frost on the surface of the evaporator should not exceed a quarter of an inch (6mm) before
defrosting.
●
To defrost, turn the control to 0.
●
Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporator and put in the drip tray fully
until it stops.
●
When defrosting is completed, remove the drip tray, empty water, dry and put it back fully until it stops.
Turn the control dial to a desired position.
CAUTION: Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost, or ice tray
from the evaporator.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
●
Storing fresh food in the refrigerator, and how food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in
maintaining its freshness and flavor.
●
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
●
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead
to higher electric bills!
●
When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from
evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
●
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
●
Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen.
●
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
●
Ice making compartment is for making ice only.

CLEANING
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the
power supply, and remove food and shelves, trays,
etc. Wash all compartments and shelves, trays etc.
with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry.
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse
abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
THE WARNING
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
Always remove the power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts. Wipe up excess moisture with
a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid
from getting into any electrical part and
causing a electric shock. Do not use
flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap
or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
then dry.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION TIME
IF YOU MOVE
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to
prevent odor formation.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them
all the way into the base.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or
two and will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
During power failures of longer duration, place a
block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances
or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power interruption.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced in a repair shop appointed
by the manufacturer, because special purpose tools are required.
ABOUT GROUNDING(EARTHING)
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
This appliance must be grounded (earthed.)
VERY DANGEROUS ATTRACTION
DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous
attraction to children. Remove gasket, latch, lid,
or the entire door from your unused
appliance,or take some other action to make it
harmless.
NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
EXPLOSIVES, OR CHEMICALS

REVERSING THE DOOR
Your refrigerator is designed with a reversible door so it may open from either the left or the right.
It is best to reposition the door hinge as necessary at the outset since it is inconvenient to do so later.
To change the door hinge, please refer to the diagram below and proceed as follows.

1. Remove Hinge Cover (A) and Hinge Cap (B).
2. Loosen three bolts (C) and remove Upper Hinge (D).
3. Remove Door.
4. Lay the Refrigerator on its back. (You may need assistance to do this.)
5. Loosen two bolts (E) and remove Lower Hinge (F) and Washer (G).
6. Loosen Bolt (H) and remove Leg (J).
7. Insert Washer (G) to Lower Hinge (F) and fix them on the opposite side using two bolts (E).
8. Fix Leg (J) using Bolt (H).
9. Remove Hinge Cap (K) from Door and fix it on the opposite side.
10. Insert Door into Lower Hinge (F), insert Upper Hinge (D) to Door, and then attach it using three bolts (C).
11. Replace Hinge Cover (A) and Hinge Cap (B).
12. Carefully stand the appliance up, (you will need assistance to do this,) and position it in its permanent
location.
13. Check that the door opens and closes easily. Ensure that the door seal does not bind on the hinge side
creating gaps which would allow air into the interior. Adjust the hinges if necessary.
This appliance should be stood on a firm, level floor with sufficient space for free airflow around it. (At least
10mm all round and, subject to location, 13/16" beneath the worksurface). Avoid positions close to walls or
corners. There must be sufficient room for free ventilation particularly at the back. The unit should be
located away from direct heat sources, such as cookers, radiators and direct sunlight. If the unit is
positioned where the temperature is too low, condensation will form on the outside of the cabinet. Normal
room temperature is recommended.
Avoid locations which may be affected by drafts or dampness as this will impair the efficiency of the
product.
