efficient cooling performance.Space of at least 100 mm over the top, 100 mm at rear
and 70 mm at both sides for proper air circulation is needed.

can be connected to an outlet soon after it is installed. Surely use with the rated
voltage and exclusive power outlet.

5) Allow enough duration for sufficient cooling before storing food. It may take about 4 hours
to fully cool down and could even take about 24 hours when the ambient temperature is high.

compartments of the appliance.

Food storage

3
1) Keep enough space between food. Several food placed too close together may obstruct the flow of cold air.
2) Make food cool enough before putting it in the refrigerator.Putting warm food in the refrigerator raises the
inside temperature and wastes electricity.
3) Do not block the cold air vent. This will adversely affect the cold air flow and may not keep the temperature inside even.
Moreover, it could result in food near the vent freezing.
4) Using plastic wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying or transition of smells.
5) Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
