Troubleshooting

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If they 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 The doors are opened too frequently
• Light fails to get lit Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged Have the light replaced by a specialist
• Doors cannot be properly closed 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 f 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 Surface condensatio1 is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
• Abnormal noise Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzei are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal. Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.

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 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. The 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.

Warnings for energy

1. Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
2. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
3. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets;
4. The precautions are necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
6. It the necessity that, for doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to prevent children from being locked inside.
