Safety instructions
Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload refrigerating appliances
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a
water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.

2. Cautions
Cautions: The power supply of this product must be uniform with the power supply
mentioned on the nameplate, and the standard independent 3-hole socket shall be used
(above 10A, and reliably grounded). One socket must not be shared by more than one
appliance; otherwise, fire may be caused due to overheat.
Cautions: Never pull the power wire by hand. It is necessary to hold and unplug the
power connector from the socket to disconnect the power supply. The power wire or
connector must not be touched by the wet hand for fear of electric shock.
Cautions: The power wire must not be squeezed by the refrigerator or any heavy
load, and the power wire shall not be bent extremely. The damage or peeling of power
wire may result in fire or electric shock. If the power wire is broken or cut, please contact
the after-sales service department immediately.

defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
Cautions: The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or
failure of the refrigerating system).
