Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

NOTE: The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well- maintained.

Making ice
To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps:

  1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day). Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
  2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
  3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

Warning:
Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store food in the ice bucket, the food can strike the ice maker when you open or close the door, causing damage to the ice maker.
Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket may spill out over the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to clear the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer.
If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt, and  then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working.
To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and residual ice or water.

Note:

  • Don’t push the water dispenser lever forward without a cup below since it may cause water spilling.
  • To avoid cold air leaking out from cabinet, keep the water dispenser still installed even if the dispenser is not in use.

Using the ice off function

  • When you select the ice off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket.
  • If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.
  • First, open the door at the maximum Angle.
  • Then, lift up on the ice bucket, and pull it straight out in the direction of the arrow.
  • To put the ice bucket in, push it firmly straight back. If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degree (see the the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.Hisense-RF728N4SASE-Fridge-Freezer-FIG- \(29\)

NOTE:

  • The inside of the ice bucket is very cold when the refrigerator is operating. Don’t reach deep inside the ice bucket.
  • Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed by a qualified person.
  • To operate the ice maker properly, a water pressure of 30-125 psi is required.

Going on vacation
If you have a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:

  1. Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
  2. Remove all food.
  3. Unplug the refrigerator.
  4. Wipe excess moisture from the inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.

Warning:

  • Do not put your fingers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket.
  • It may result in personal injury or material damage.
  • Never put your fingers or any other obiects in the dispenser opening. It may cause injury.
  • Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
  • Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean.

Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Cleaning
After using for a period, water accumulated in receiving tank might overflow, thus you should clean it with dry towel regularly to avoid water spilling out onto the floor.

NOTE:
In case of stained by dust or other pollutant, dispensing water with unpleasant smell, etc., water dispenser parts should be cleaned thoroughly.

Using your fridge compartment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storage of vegetables and fruit. Food inside should be packed to store in order to avoid losing moisture or flavor permeating into other foods.

Caution
Never close the refrigerator door while the shelves, crisper and/or telescopic slides are extended. It may damage both them and the refrigerator.

Door baskets

  • The refrigerator compartment is provided with several different door baskets, which are suitable for the storage of canned liquid, bottled drinks and packed food.
  • To remove the door baskets (A), simply lift the racks up and pull straight out.
  • To relocate the door baskets (A), slide them in above the desired location and push down until them stop
  • To remove the door baskets (B), take the right side of the baskets out by lifting it at an angle along the guide, and then take the left side out by pulling it from the door.
  • To relocate the door baskets (B), slide them into the original location and push down until them sticks.

Warning:
Do not place too many heavy things in the baskets. Before you lift up the door shelf vertically, please take the food out.

Glass shelves
