OPERATION

First use

• Before the use of the refrigerator, remove all the packages, including bottom cushion and foam pads and rubber belts in the refrigerator.
• Adjust the feet and clear the outside and inside of the refrigerator with warm cloth.
• Do not start the refrigerator immediately after vertical placement. Only start it after 2-6 hours standing to ensure its proper operation.
• To prevent damage to the power cord and any consequence incidents, the power cord should be not covered by the refrigerator or other objects. Before switching on the refrigerator, please check the voltage range of refrigerator carefully if the same as that of the power supply.
• When the refrigerator is first installed, allow it stabilize at normal operating temperatures for 2-3 hours prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.
• If operation is interrupted, wait for 5 minutes before restarting.

Temperature control

• The settings of the temperature control are “0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.” Adjust the temperature to the settings that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.
• Adjusting the temperature to “0” position will turn off the cooling cycle but not the electrical power of the unit.

Note

• The temperature will impact the storage time of food.Set the temperature as necessary.
• Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the refrigerator. The unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly.
• If ambient temperature is too high, the refrigerator may not reach the desired target temperature.
• Adjusting the temperature to “0” position will turn off the cooling cycle but not the electrical power of the unit.
• Large amount of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Do not place the foods on the air outlet. Leave space for airflow.
• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control once increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilise between adjustments.

STORAGE OF FOOD

• Your appliance has the accessories as the “Structure illustration” showed in general, with this part instruction you can have the right way to storage your food.
  Note: Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight plastic boxes.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh food care for best results:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality. Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.
• Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge compartment.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

Precooked foods and leftovers

• These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
• Keep for only 1-2 days.
• Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

The following foods are suitable for freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
The following foods are NOT suitable for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Never forget:

• When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

DEFROSTING

• When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before /best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires. Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen. Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically

• While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.
• The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
  Note:
  Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

WARNING: Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the “o” position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. ut the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc)
• Don’t set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don’t store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room. Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
• The “STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATION” shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and complete frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for refrigerator

• Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap  and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored inthe door racks.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by
  the food retailer

• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance

• If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken prevent mould on the appliance.
  1. .Remove all food;
  2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket;
  3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly;
  4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

CLEANING AND CARE

• For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months.

WARNING:
The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.

Exterior cleaning

• To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly. Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.

• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance.

• This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.

• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet

• surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
  Caution!

• Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.

• Don’t use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.

Interior cleaning

• You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
  Caution!

• Don’t use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer. Only after the interior completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.

Door Seal/ Gasket

• Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
• Petrolium jelly applied lightly on the hing side of the gasket will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
• Caution!
  Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away form heat-producing appliances, heating ducts or direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and thus increase energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• The shelves should not be lined woth aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. It will interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as need at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• Be sure to wrap food properly and wipe containers dry before placing in the refrigerator.
