Installation Location Try not to use the refrigerator for a prolonged time where the temperature drops below 16°C or rises above 32°C. • Avoid placing the refrigerator near any heat sources, direct sunlight or moisture. • Sufficient air circulation is essential for the efficient operation of your refrigerator. • To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall.
Installation Adjusting Leveling Screws • To avoid vibrations the refrigerator has to be placed on a leveled surface. • If necessary, set the leveling screws to compensate the unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear so that the door can close more easily. • The Leveling Screws can be adjusted by tilting the refrigerator slightly. • Turning the Leveling Screw clockwise, the refrigerator is raised.
Operation Starting Temperature Control NOTE The DRIP TRAY under the evaporator should be installed exactly to contact with the interior wall. TEMPERATURE CONTROL regulates the temperature in the evaporator and is displayed in OFF, 1, 2,...7. Refrigerator Compartment is cooled by the cold air from the evaporator. Too Warm Turning the TEMPERATURE CONTROL clockwise will set to a colder setting (higher number setting).
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 6mm before defrosting. • To defrost, turn the control to ‘OFF’. • Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporator, and wrap it with paper or cloth, then put it in a cold place or in another refrigerator. Place the DRIP TRAY in its proper position.
Suggestions on food storage Storing Food Evaporator Compartment • Do not store bottles in the evaporator compartment –they may break when frozen. • Do not refreeze food that has been completely thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutritional value. Refrigerator Compartment • 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. • Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Care and Maintenance General Information Going away 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. Power Failure Most power failures are corrected in 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.
