Operating Your Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the unit for at least 24 hours after unit is set in place. Failure to do so may result in the unit working improperly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turning on the Unit

The refrigerator turns on automatically when it is plugged in.

Note: If you unplug the refrigerator or the power is cut off accidentally, allow 8 minutes before restarting it or plugging it back in. It will not operate properly in less than 8 minutes.

Temperature Setting

Initially set the thermostat to setting 4. The compressor will run continuously for a few hours and only after the temperature inside the appliance becomes stable will the compressor run normally (i.e., turn on and off periodically).

When the unit is operated for the first time, it is suggested that you not put foods in until the compressor is running normally.

Adjusting the thermostat counter-clockwise will make the compressor run for a longer time with a shorter compressor stop time, and the temperature inside the appliance will be colder. The setting should be regulated according to ambient conditions and the desired temperature. The compressor will run for a while after each regulation before reaching a steady temperature.

Please note: Cold air falls and warmer air rises, and there will be a small temperature variation from the bottom of the unit to the top. The temperature at the bottom of the unit will always be slightly colder.
