Starting

  • After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or a damage to the product.
  • 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.
  • Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor due to successive starts.

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

Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts. Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

WARNING
Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.

Cleaning the glass shelf

  • Remove the drawer on the glass shelf.
  • Lift up the front of glass shelf about 60° and then pull out.
  • Remove glass shelf and clean as needed.
  • The reverse operation is for installation of glass shelf.

Defrosting

  • The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling system and this has automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnecting the appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

Out of operation

  • 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 fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.
  • The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance shall not be interrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired.

Troubleshooting
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 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

Light fails to get lit

  • The doors are opened too frequently
    Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged

Doors cannot be properly closed

  • Have the light replaced by a specialist
  • The door is stuck by food packages
  • Too much food is placed
  • The refrigerator is tilted

Loud noise

  • Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator 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 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

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.
