ADJUSTING THE SHELVES

The cantilever rack could be adjusted to the proper height as required by food.

• To adjust the cantilever rack please follow the arrows as shown in Figure 20.

• Raise it upward first and then take it out by tilting it upward.

• During installation, put the upper end of the fixed leg into one of the upper slots on the supporting iron first and then put the lower end of the fixed leg into the third slot on the lower part of the supporting iron.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator should have run for 2-3 hours or for about 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool down to the room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.

• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
