2.4 Starting
- Before initial start, keep the freezer still for half an hour before connecting it to power supply.
- Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the freezer 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.

Trouble shooting
5.1 You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If them cannot be solved, please contact the atter-sales department.
Not refrigerating| Is the appliance connected to the mains Is the plug
securely in the socket Is there a power failure has the circuit tripped
---|---
Odor| Odorous food should be tightly wrapped Check if there is any rotten food
in the refrigerator Clean the inside of the freezer
Long-time operation of the compressor| Long operation of the freezer is normal
in summer when the ambient temperature is high
It is not advised to have too much food in the appliance at one time The food
should be cool before putting in the appliance
The doors are opened too frequently
Interior light not working| Check whether the freezer is connected to power
supply and Whether the interior light is damaged Have the light replaced by a
specialist
Doors cannot be properly dosed| Obstruction of food in the door way too much
food inside the appliance The freezer is tilted
Noises| Check whether the floor is level and whether the freezer is placed
stably Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Door seal fails to be tight| 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 shutdown provide
sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation| Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of
the freezer is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the
condensate with a clean towel
Abnormal noise| Buzz: The compressor may produce a buzzing noise during
operation and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce a
buzzing noise which is normal
