Remark:
Setting the thermostat does not change the rate of cooling of the FR-B refrigerator. This setting is used to define
the temperature the refrigerator/freezer should hold once fully cooled down. Please always adjust and keep the
thermostat at the setting required by the goods that you have stored in the fridge/freezer. If unsure what
temperature to select, choose a temperature setting from the above table, then check the internal temperature of
your FR-B Refrigerator/Freezer after 24 hours of operation and re-adjust thermostat setting as necessary. To
accelerate cooling, please utilize the BOOST feature as described in the section below.
Remark:
Using BOOST mode will increase energy consumption to rise by up to 20% higher than ECO mode. Therfore, we
recommend using BOOST mode on a temporary basis only until target temperature has been acheived. When
temperature is stabilized, return to ECO mode for maximum energy efficiency.
3.
Periodically check internal temperature and adjust thermostat upward or downward to ensure contents are
being stored at desired temperature.
When the refrigerator/freezer is switched on, you may hear a clicking sound, gas flow sound, and compressor humming
sound. These are normal operation sounds and not a cause for concern.
5.
Utilizing BOOST Feature for Accelerated Cooling
Your FR-B Refrigerator/Freezer includes a the unique BOOST feature which accelerates cooling
performance to acheive the target internal temperature in the quickest possible time. The BOOST
switch is located on the right side of the cabinet near the bottom of the unit.
If adding warm or a large volume of goods, the BOOST switch can be used to help cool down
goods faster than when set to default ECO mode. BOOST mode will not make the internal
temperature colder. Rather, it shortens the time that it takes to stabilize the temperature inside
set by the thermostat.

Maintenance
CAUTION:
Do not place hot (>50°C / 122°F) or heavy (>10 kg / 22 Ibs) objects on top of the Refrigerator/Freezer.
Do not place lit candles or other sources of fire/heat on top of the Refrigerator/Freezer or near the ventilation
cover at the right bottom side as this may cause a fire.
Are you moving your home or going on vacation?
•
Before moving, get the Refrigerator/Freezer thoroughly inspected and packed, this will keep it safe during
transportation.
•
The Refrigerator/Freezer should always be transported in an upright position. If Refrigerator/Freezer is set on
