2.4 Start to use

• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to power supply.

• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.

• Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers or statement by the distributor.

2.5 Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Structure and functions

3.1 Key components

( The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor )

Freezing chamber

• The low temperature freezing chamber may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice. It is the most energy efficient to place food in the position shown in the picture above.

• The freezing chamber is suitable for storage of meat, fish, rice balls and other foods not to be consumed in short term.

• Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for easy access. Please be noted food shall be consumed within the shelf time.
  Note: Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator. Foods stored shall not block the air outlet: or otherwise the freezing effect will also be adversely affected.

• Temperature-control knob
  If the ambient temperature is too high or in summer, according to actual needs, the thermostat adjusted to 4.

• If the ambient temperature is too low or in winter, according to actual needs, the thermostat adjusted to 1.

• Recommended gear: Mid-range

Maintenance and care of refrigerator

4.1 Overall cleaning

• Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.

4.2 Defrost

• Power off the refrigerator.
• Remove the food from the refrigerator and place it properly to prevent food from melting.
• Clear the drain pipe (to use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner), Prepare the water containers for defrosting. (pay attention to clean the compressor compartment water draining tray,Avoding overflow to the ground).
• You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use plastic or wooden ice shovel, for avoding damage to the liner or pipe)
• You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water after defrosting.
• After defrosting, put back the foods in cabinet , and power on the refrigerator.

4.3 Stop using

• Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.
• Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open to prevent odor.
• Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape.

Troubleshooting

5.1 You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself.
If them cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department.

Failed operation| Check whether the appliance is connected to power or “bather the plug is in well contact ;heck whether the voltage is too low Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
---|---
Odor| Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped Check whether there is any rotten food Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation of the compressor| Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high
It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance The doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get it| Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged
Have the light replaced by a specialist
Doors cannot be properly closed| The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed The refrigerator is tilted
Loud noise
Door seal fails to be tight| Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations Remove foreign matters on the door seal Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows| There Is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water,resultIng in heavy defrosting
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing| Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature,
storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation| Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise| Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.
