This User’s Manual is applicable to a variety of
models and there may be slight changes in certain
aspects from model to model.
1. Environmental Protection and
Proper Disposal
Package materials
The appliance is packaged in a way to prevent damages
during transportation. Recyclable materials are used.
The packing box is made of corrugated board / cardboard
(mainly from recycled paper).
y Polystyrene parts (CFC-free foamed polystyrene)
y Linings and polyethylene bags
y Polypropylene straps
All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste
collecting center and used again after adequate recycling.
All waste materials should be disposed properly.
2. Location
Make sure the refrigerator is kept upright during handling.
If an inclination is required, it should not exceed 45
degrees. Otherwise the appliance may get damaged
resulting not only in compromised refrigeration
performance.
To avoid product damage or personal injury, the
refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is
located in a previously selected position.
Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no
visible exterior damage.
When handling the refrigerator, do not lift it by holding the
worktop, to prevent any damage to the refrigerator.
Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.
Check the refrigerator carefully for:
y Damaged package due to inappropriate handling
during transportation
y Damage in the exterior
y Damage in power cord / plug
Any doubt, please contact Customer Service for a
thorough checkup of the appliance.
Take necessary measures to prevent leakage of
refrigerant at the start-up of refrigerator that may result in
environmental pollution.
3. Installation
a) Remove all package materials.
b) Remove items in the refrigerator.
c) Make sure to remove film and tape on the cabinet
and the door.
d) Remove polystyrene chips (if any) around the
refrigerator.
e) Take out accessories and literature in the refrigerator.
f) Clean the inside of the refrigerator with lukewarm
water and vinegar and then dry it with a soft cloth.
g) Use the spanners supplied to adjust the leveling leg
to ensure the refrigerator is stable.
Do not use detergents, sharp or pointed instruments
or soda-based cleansers to clean the refrigerator.
y Before installation, make sure the refrigeration system
is free of any damage.
y The refrigerator should be used for its intended
purpose only.
y The refrigerator should be positioned on the solid and
even floor to ensure refrigerant circulation and
refrigerating performance.
y If possible, position the refrigerator in a cool and dry
well ventilated room.
y Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunshine and
make sure the ambient temperature is not extremely
high.
y Keep the refrigerator from a heat source, such as
heating system, oven or cookers. Otherwise the
compressor will operate more frequently resulting in
extra power consumption.
If the refrigerator will be placed near a heat source, it is
recommended to install a thermal barrier between the
refrigerator and the heat source (asbestos is prohibited)
or maintain adequate space between the refrigerator and
the heat source as follows:
Cooker or electric stove 3 cm
Radiator or oven 30 cm
Another refrigerator 2 cm
Do not place any radiating apparatus, such as microwave
oven or roaster, on top of the refrigerator.
Make sure the air vent is not obstructed.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the
outlet.
