Display
For the first power-on, the display screen (including the key light) will be
displayed in full for 3s, and then the gear in the middle displays the state
of running.
Display of normal running
On the occurrence of a failure, the corresponding LED light will give a
combined display of failure code (loop display); Where there is no failure,
the LED light will display the current running gear of the refrigerator.
Gear setting
The gear will be changed once every time when you press the key SET. Then, the
refrigerator will run under the setting value after 15s.
Fast cool function
Enter: Circulating modulation rapid cooling mode.
Operate: Indicator of rapid cooling lights up, and the refrigerator
operates at 2°C.
Exit:
- Operate 150min under the rapid cooling mode.
- Temperature adjustment can exit from the rapid cooling mode.
Temperature control of freezing chamber
The freezing temperature is relatively low in “COLDER” position, while the freezing temperature is relatively high in “COLD” position, thus, “NORMAL” position is generally used.
When ambient temperature is high in summer, the temperature shall be in the range from “NORMAL” to “COLD”. If the ambient temperature is above 35°C, then “COLD” position shall prevail.
When ambient temperature is low in winter, the temperature shall be in the range from “NORMAL” to “COLDER”. If the ambient temperature is below 10°C, then “COLDER” position shall prevail.
Noise Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
- Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
- Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
- To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
- Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
- To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. W recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
CLEANING
Defrosting
Auto-defrost for Frost-free Refrigerator
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

Trouble shooting
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not settled.
Inoperation| Check whether the power cord is plugged into the power outlet
properly. Low voltage; Check the fuse or circuit of your power supply and
replace if necessary.
---|---
Odor| The interior may need to be cleaned Some food, food box or wrapping
cause odors.
Long-term operation of compressor| It is normal sometimes to hear the sound of
the motor. It will need to run more when in following circumstances:
Temperature setting is set colder than necessary Large quantity of warm food
has recently been stored within the appliance. The temperature outside the
appliance is too high. Doors are kept open too long or too often. After your
installing the appliance or it has been switched off for along time.
Illuminating light does not shine| Whether the refrigerator is connected to
power, whether the illuminating light is damaged.
he refrigerator door cannot be properly closed.| The freezer door is stuck by
food packages; Too much food; Check whether the top of the refrigerator is
tilted back by 10-15mm to allow the doors to self-close, or if something
inside is preventing the doors from closing
Loud noises| The cabinet is not level. The back of appliance touches the wall.
Bottles or containers fallen or rolling.
Warm tips:
The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation specially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon.
- Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
- Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance). In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layeris 3-5mm thick.
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of dust or any impurities.
- 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.
