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.

Failed operation

|

Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact

Check 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 light

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
