5. Before storing foods in your refrigerator, turn the refrigerator on and wait for
24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge/Freezer to
fail to the correct temperature.

OPERATION

Switching on your unit

The temperature selector knob is located on the middle of the upper beam.
Setting"Min"：Less Cool Temperature
•
• Setting"Mid"：Normal Operation(adequate for most situations)
• Setting"Max"：Coolest Temperature
During high ambient temperature: it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coolest
setting (position "MAX"). This may cause the compressor running continuously in order to
maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.
For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at "MID". Give your
refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait 24 hours
before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat
control knob is set to "OFF", the refrigerator will not be running.

Tips for keeping food in the unit

Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf
above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large
enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of
the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before
placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from
rising.
Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening
the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
