OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Ice Making Procedure

1. Take the ice cube box out of the ice box compartment.
2. Pour cool water into the ice cube box until the water level reaches the water line, then put the ice cube box back into the ice box compartment.
3. Turn over the ice cube box and pour the ice cubes into another vessel after the ice is frozen.

Temperature Control

1. Under normal conditions, the temperature control knob is set at MED.
2. The times of opening door, the ambient temperature and the objects stored in the refrigerator can affect the temperature inside the refrigerator.
3. If the cooling degree inside the refrigerator is not cool enough, set the temperature control knob to MAX to decrease the temperature.
4. If the cooling degree inside the refrigerator is too low, set the temperature control knob to MIN to increase the temperature.

Freezer

• Ice box compartment is not a freezer compartment. It cannot cool ice cream or food.
• The temperature of ice box compartment is not suitable for food cooling. It can be set to the lowest temperature, but other food in the refrigerator will also be affected.

Refrigeration

• Fruits and vegetables should be stored in the vegetable basket. Wrap them with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
• Water-rich foods such as bean curds and vegetable should be stored in the front bottom part of the refrigerator compartment to avoid being frozen.

Placement of food

• There should always be space between food to maintain cool circulation.
• Food should be wrapped tidily to prevent them from becoming dry and odorous.
• Hot foodstuffs should be cooled down before being placed in the compartments. Otherwise the internal temperature of the compartments and electric consumption will increase.

Defrosting

• Too much frost will diminish the cooling effect.
• The freezing unit should be defrosted whenever frost builds up to 7mm.

Defrosting Steps

1. Clear up the refrigerator and set the temperature control knob to OFF; then unplug the refrigerator.
2. Open the door of the refrigerator and wait until the frost melts naturally. Never use any mechanical tool or other tools to accelerate the defrosting process.
3. After the frost melts, pour water out of the drip tray.
4. After defrosting is finished, plug the refrigerator again and set the temperature control knob to the original position; put objects back into the refrigerator again after it operates for 2~3 hours.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION

Doors

• Clean the doors with dry cloth frequently. Never clean it with water directly.
• Never clean the refrigerator with toluene, brush or chemical cloth to prevent damage to the baking finish and internal parts.

Inside of the ice box compartment and refrigerating chamber as well as accessories

• Clean up inside of the ice box compartment and the refrigerating chamber as well as accessories once a month. Before cleaning, take all objects out of the refrigerator and unplug it; any removable accessory should be taken out for cleaning.

Refrigerator Wall

• Beware of the backside of the refrigerator to prevent any cockroach or rat from making nests there.
• The smooth back design hides the cooling tubes in walls of the refrigerator; so please keep the walls clean in order to maintain a food cooling condition.

Emergency Treatment
Stop operation of the refrigerator and unplug it if any abnormal situation occurs (e.g. smell of burning).

• If the refrigerator continues its operation under abnormal conditions, fire and electric shock may happen due to heat radiation.
• Please consult Shun Hing Electric Service Centre Ltd.

Changing the Light

• Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the repairman of Shun Hing Electric Service Centre Ltd.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The following situations are not malfunction:

• The sides of refrigerator will be heat up while the condenser is working, but this will not influence the cooling performance.
• As the temperature of the compartment will be high when the refrigerator is just started, it will take a span of time to decrease the temperature.
• It is normal for the surface of the compressor to get hot in normal working condition. Do not touch it.
• The water flowing sound is actually the refrigerant (cooling gas) flowing. It is normal.
• Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high. It is normal.

If any case of malfunction happens, please inspect and dispel it according to the methods shown in the following table:

• Check if the power cord is plugged into the
power socket.
Not cooling sufficiently| • The food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air.
• You may have put something hot or a lot of foodstuffs into the refrigerator.
• The temperature control knobs may not be set properly.
• The door may not have been closed properly.
• The door gasket may be damaged.
• The refrigerator may not be well ventilated.
• There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces immediately to the sides and top.
Food frozen in the refrigerator chamber| • The temperature control knobs of the compartment may be set to the MAX position for a long time.
• Check if the normal surrounding temperature is below 5°C.
• Foodstuffs may be packed too tightly.
Water leaks from refrigerator chamber| • Check if there is any leakage from objects stored in it.
Noises| • Check if the refrigerator is installed firmly.
• Check if there is any objects nearby to collide with it.
Compressor does not stop working automatically| • Food may be stored too much at one time.
• Doors may be opened too frequently or too long.
