WARNING: Connect to a potable water supply only.

The minimum/maximum inlet water pressure must be 138/827 kPa (20/120 psig).

To ensure proper freezing capability and avoid increased electricity costs, allow over 100 mm of clearance from each adjacent wall when installing the appliance. The dimensions are as follows (all dimensions in mm):

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.

Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.

Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, and clockwise to lower it.

You will need pliers for this procedure.

1. Raise the lower door up to the level of the higher door.

2. Insert the supplied fastener-ring by using pliers in the gap between the hinge-grommet and the lower hinge. The number of fastener-rings you will need to insert depends on the gap.

1. Remove all food from inside the appliance.

2. Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the power plug hook at the rear or on top of the appliance.

3. Tape parts such as shelves and the door handle to prevent them from falling off while moving the appliance.

4. Move the appliance with more than two people carefully. When transporting the appliance over a long distance, keep the appliance upright.

5. After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket to switch on the appliance.

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similar qualified person.

After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet. After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other heat sources.

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base, on the sides, and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.

The arrangement of drawers, shelves, and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy.

To obtain larger storage space, the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.

An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Avoid empty or half-empty compartments.

Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer.

Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment.

Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss.

The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

The control panel has the following key buttons:

A Alarm/power off/power on button

B Freezer button

C Fridge button

When the initial power is up, it is 3 seconds, while the boot bell rings, and then goes into normal operation display. The refrigerator and freezer are mid-range at the time of the first power-up. Under normal circumstances, the current set gear is displayed, and when a “fault code visible” class failure occurs, the fault code is displayed.

Press the refrigeration key (Fridge button) to adjust the refrigeration set gear. Each press of the key changes the gear one level. The order is as follows:

8°C -> 4°C -> 2°C

Press the refrigeration key (Freezer button) to adjust the freezer set gear. Each press of the key changes the gear one level. The order is as follows:

-16°C -> -19°C -> -23°C

When a fault alarm occurs, press the alarm off key short, and the fault alarm sound is canceled.

If the freezer door or refrigerator door is open for 120 seconds without being closed well, the buzzer alarms until the door is closed. You can also press the alarm off key to cancel the buzzer alarm.

Press the alarm off key for 3 seconds to enter standby mode. In this mode, cooling stops, the light is not on, and the display is off. To return to normal control, long press the alarm off key for 3 seconds.

The following warnings on the display indicate corresponding faults. Though the refrigerator may still have a freezing function, you should contact a maintenance specialist to ensure normal use.

The freezer is for storing food at very low temperatures, long-term storage, and for making ice.

Only use the door shelves for frozen food, not for hot food designated for freezing.

Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other, as the frozen food may thaw.

When freezing fresh food (meat, fish), cut it into parts that can be used at the same time.

Follow storage instructions on food packages. If there is no information, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the purchase date.

When buying frozen food, ensure it was frozen at a suitable temperature and the packaging is not damaged.

Keep frozen food in suitable packages to retain quality and return it to the freezer as soon as possible.

If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it was likely stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.

Always follow instructions on the packaging and never exceed the maximum stated storage time.

To reduce moisture and ice build-up, never put liquid in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator.

Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. They should cool down at room temperature first.

Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator, as they could freeze to the wall.

Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator and used in 1-2 days.

Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the designated part for fresh fruit and vegetables.

The optimal temperature setting for food storage is:

Fridge: 4 °C, Freezer: -19°C

Note: The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature. The temperature above is based on an ambient temperature of 25 °C.

The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has an automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to a change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnecting the appliance from the power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

According to the direction arrow in the figure in the user manual, use both hands to squeeze the tray and push it upward to take it out. After washing the tray, you can adjust its installing height in accordance with your requirement.

To dismantle the cantilever shelf:

1. Since the shelf and the box gall have the innermost stop, first lift the shelf up, and then pull it outward.

Upper freezer drawer:

Open the freezing chamber door to the maximum stroke, lift the tail of the upper drawer of the freezing chamber, and take out the upper freezer drawer.

Lower freezer drawer:

Open the freezing chamber door to the maximum stroke, lift the end of the lower freezer drawer, and lift it up.

Note: Do not remove the lower freezer drawer if not necessary.

Power failure:

In case of a power failure, even in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours. During the power failure, the number of door openings should be reduced, and no more fresh food should be put into the appliance.

Long-time nonuse:

The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned. The doors should be left open to prevent odor.

Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact.

Check whether the voltage is too low.

Check whether there is a power failure or if partial circuits have tripped.

Ensure that odorous foods are tightly wrapped.

Check whether there is any rotten food.

Clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer.

When the ambient temperature is high, it is not suggestible to have too much food in the appliance at the same time.

Food should cool before being put into the appliance.

The doors are opened too frequently.

Check whether the refrigerator is connected to the power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.

Have the light replaced by a specialist.

The door is stuck by food packages. Too much food is placed inside.

The refrigerator is tilted.

Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably.

Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.

Remove foreign matters on the door seal.

Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).

There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.

The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.

Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing is normal. The housing may become hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food, or compressor shutdown. Provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.

Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.

Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, which are particularly loud upon start or stop. This is normal.

Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce a creak, which is normal.
