Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator

Risk of Child Entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not only problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are stilldangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting ridof your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents

Before you throw away your old refrigerator:

Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

Installation

Before installing, follow these important first steps.

Location

Position the appliance away fromsources of heat such as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight etc. Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class of unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate. This appliance performs well from 12.8 to 43.3°C (55~1107F). The

Appliance may not work properly if it is left for a longer period at atemperature above or below the indicated range.

IMPORTANT !

There is a need of good ventilation around the fridge for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear space should be available around the fridge. It is advisable for there to be 75 mm (2.953 inch) separating the back of the fridge to the wall, at least 100 mm (3.937 inch) of space at its two sides, and a minimum of 100 mm (3.937 inch) from its top and a clear space upfront to allow the doors to open 160°.

Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section of appliances, as poor air circulation can affect performance.

Cleaning

Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed already removed. Do not remove with a mixture of warm water and with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape left from the tape can be removed a the serial plate.

Warning ! Danger of electrical shock

The appliance may not be connected to the outlet during cleaning! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off the circuit breaker or fuse.
Remove the food from the appliance before cleaning. Store food in a cool place and keep well covered.
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components.
Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

** IMPORTANT** !

Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel,butyric acid, and cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not allowsuch substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and a clean dish cloth.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Check the water drain hole on the ear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Clear ablocked drain hole with the aid of something like a soft peg. Be careful not to create any damage to the cabinet by sharp objects.
After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.

Defrosting Your Refrigerator

To defrost the refrigerator, remove all food and objects from the refrigerator. Ensure the drip pan isin place under the freezer compartment. Unplug the unit and ensure the cord is in safe dry location. The defrost process may take a few hours. To speed up the defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. Never use sharp objects to remove the frost.
During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may need to be emptied during the defrost cycle. Do not leave unattended.
After defrosting is complete, emptyand wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of therefrigerator. You may now resetthe refrigerator to the desired temperature and put the food back in.

Energy Saving Tips

Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor
In order to make the cooling system work efficiently, please make sure the side plates and back plate of the product are with some distance from the wall. It is strongly recommended that its back is 75 mm (2.953 inch) away from the wall, its sides at leasthave a space of 100 mm (3.937 inch) separately and the height from over its top is not less than 100 mm(3.937 inch).
When the product works, please donot open the door too often or leavethe door open any longer than necessary.
Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
The direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer) needs to be defrosted when necessary. This will improve the cold transfer and reduce energy consumption.
The sketch map shows the right combination of the shelves which can lead to more energy efficiency. If users adjust the combination, itmay result in more energy-consumption.
Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period specified.
