HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, remove all adhesive tape from the drawers, shelves
and trays. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly by wiping the outside with
a soft, dry cloth and the interior with a clean, damp cloth.
Allow the unit to stand upright for 4 hours prior to plugging in. This will reduce the
possibility of the cooling system malfunctioning due to improper handling.
INSTALLATION
1. The refrigerator should be placed on a completely flat surface. Allow 1 foot of space
on each side of the refrigerator and between the refrigerator and the wall. Also allow
at least 8 inches of space between the top of the refrigerator and the ceiling.
2. Choose a location for your refrigerator that is not exposed to sunlight, high temperature
or humidity, as humidity may stain and damage the refrigerator. The refrigerator is
not designed to be installed in an outside area, such as a garage or a porch. Ambient
temperatures of below 50ºF or above 89ºF will hinder the performance of this appliance.
3. The appliance can be adjusted by rolling the two legs in the bottom front of the refrigerator
if it becomes unstable. Raise the refrigerator by rolling the two legs clockwise.
4. The surface of the location where the refrigerator is installed should be firm
and flat. If refrigerator is not secured in a proper location, noise and vibration
may occur. The noise may be increased if the floor is not firm. If you have
to position the refrigerator on a carpeted floor, place a sheet underneath
the refrigerator to prevent heat emissions from ruining the carpet.
5. Make sure that legs are pressed firmly into the floor and allow the refrigerator
to lean backward slightly so that the doors remain closed.
6. Insert the power supply cord into the socket.
7. The internal temperature of your refrigerator is controlled by the thermostat control
dial. There are 7 settings. Position 7 makes the Refrigerator coldest. Position 1 makes
it the warmest. The freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a
particularly hot thtemperature, or if you open the freezer doors repeatedly.
NOTE: If you unplug the refrigerator, wait 3-5 minutes before restarting.
The unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly.
PLACEMENT OF FOOD
1. There should always be some space between items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed containers to avoid becoming
dry, spoiled or creating odors in the refrigerator.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the
appliance. Otherwise, bacteria will grow in food.
4. Reducing the frequency of opening the doors can lower the electronic consumption.
5. If unit fails to cool properly, dispose of spoiled food immediately.
NOTE: Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
The internal temperature of your refrigerator is controlled by the thermostat control
dial. There are 7 settings. Position 7 makes the refrigerator coldest. Position 1 makes it
the warmest. To adjust the temperature, turn the dial to the preferred setting. Position 0
