Correct positioning

Well Ventilating
There is need of good ventilation around the refrigerator for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear space should be needed around the refrigerator, its back is 50-70mm away from the wall, its sides at least have a space of 200mm separately and the height from over its top is not less than 300mm. Aclear space should be left to open its doors to 160°.

Power Supply
The refrigerator is only applied with power supply of single phase alternating current (See the rating label) . If fluctuation of voltage in the district user is of so large that the voltage exceeds the scope, for safety sake, be sure to apply A.C, automatic voltage regulator to the refrigerator. The refrigerator must employ a special power socket instead of common one other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground wire.

Power Line Cord
The cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into coil during operation. Moreover,
it is forbidden that cord is kept close onto the compressor at the back of the refrigerator,
the surface temperature of which is quite high when operating. Touching with it would deactivate the insulation or cause leakage for electricity. Extension cord is not recommended to use.

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

WARNING:
If the power cord is damaged ,it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Protection from Moisture
Avoiding placing the refrigerator in a place where heavy moisture is present so as to
minimize possibility of rusty for its metal parts. Still more, the refrigerator is forbidden to be directly sprayed by water, otherwise, poor insulation and current leakage would occur.

Protection from Heat
The refrigerator should be far away from any heat source or direct sunshine.

Fixing Stable

Defrosting is operated manually. Before defrosting,take the bottle, then set the knob of the temperature regulator to position”0″(where the compressor will stop working) and leave the door open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly deposited .
In the case ‘of speeding up the defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water(about 50°C jinto the ‘evaporator, and be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to original position after defrosting.
Its inadvisable to heat the evaporator directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to prevent deformation of the inner case.
Its also inadvisable to scrape of ice and frost which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tool or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing ‘the surface of the evaporator.

Troub eshooting

When the refrigerator does not work Check if there is a power failure. Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet. Check that the fuse has not blown.
When the refrigerator is cooling excessively The temperature control dial may be set too high. If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily. This does not indicate a malfunction.
When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently The food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air. You may have put something hot or a lot of food stuffs into the refrigerator . The door may not have been dosed properly. The door gaskets may be damaged. The refrigerator may not be ventilated. There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces Immediately both sides and above. The temperature control dial may not be set properly.
When the defrosting water overflows inside the refrigerator and onto the floor. Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not clogged. Check that the drain pan is housed properly.
When the refrigerators cabinet front heats up In order to safeguard against condensation, there is an ant condensation, pipe which heats up the cabinet front when running actuated. A warm cabinet front does not indicate a malfunction.
When condensation form on the outside of the refrigerator. Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season. This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe dry with a dry cloth.
When you hear a sound like water flowing . A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing. It does not Indicate a malfunction.
When the cabinet’s side panel heats up The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit and when the unit operates in summer with high ambient outside temperature, In such case, do not touch the panel, it results from the dissipation of the heat from inside the cabinet, and it does not mean that something is wrong with the refrigerator.
