Storing in the refrigerator compartment

  • Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
  • Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
  • Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing.
  • Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
  • Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air to flow around them, for better and more homogeneous cooling.
  • Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
  • Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air to flow. In any way, don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against the rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
  • Frozen food can be gently defrosted in the refrigerator compartment. This saves energy.
  • The aging process of fruits and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, bananas, pineapples, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not recommended to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.
  • Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See Care And Cleaning.
  • Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties.

Storage in the freezer compartment

  • Keep the freezer temperature at 18°C.
  • 24 hours before freezing, switch on the Super-Freeze function. For small quantities of food, 4-6 hours are sufficient.
  • Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.
  • Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
  • It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
  • To avoid the expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

WARNING!

  • Acid, alkali salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.
  • Do not place the food with these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Saltwater in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
  • Do not exceed the food storage time recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
  • Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may be less edible.
  • Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Re-fer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate.
  • Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g. meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6- 12 months)
  • While freezing fresh food, avoid bringing them in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

  • Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food. Do not exceed these guidelines!
  • Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
  • Buy frozen food, which have been stored at a temperature of -18°C or below.
  • Avoid buying food that has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point-temperature rising affects the quality of food.

Power interruption

  • In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 13 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer.
  • Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.
  • If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 13 hours, make some ice cubes and put them in a container on the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment.
  • An inspection of the foods is required immediately after the interruption.
  • As the temperature in the refrigerator warrants a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, r cooked or refrozen (where susuitablesoon afterwards interevent health risks.

NOTICE

Memory function during power interruption

  • After the recovery of power, the appliance continues with the settings that were set before the power failure.
  • To contact technical assistance, visit our website: https://corporate.haier-eu-rope.com/en/.

Installation

Unpacking

WARNING!

  • The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons.
  • Keep all packaging materials out of children´s reach and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • Take the appliance out of the packaging.
  • Remove all packaging materials.

Environmental conditions
The room temperature should always be between 10° C and 43° C since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.

Space requirement
Required space when the door is opened.

Aligning the appliance
The appliance should be placed on a flat and solid surface.

  1. Tilt the refrigerator slightly backwards.
  2. Set the feet to the desired level.

Make sure the distance to the wall on the hinge side is at least 100 mm for the door to open properly.

Ventilaton cross-section
To achieve sufficient ventilation of the appliance for safety reasons, the information on the required ventilation cross sections must be observed.

  1. The stability can be checked by alternately bumping on the diagonals. The slight swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise, the frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the doors.

NOTICE
For a free-standing appliance: this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance

Waiting time
The maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait at least 2 hours so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Electrical connection
Before each connection check if:

  • power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
  • the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension.
  • the power plug and socket are strictly according.

Connect the plug to a properly installed household socket.

WARNING!
To avoid risks a damaged power cord must be replaced by customer service (see warranty card).

Door Reversibility
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, you should check whether the door swing must be changed from the right (as delivered) to the left if this is required by the installation location and the usability.

WARNING!

  • The appliance is heavy. You need two persons to carry out the door reversibility.
  • Before any operation, first, unplug the appliance from the mains
  • Do not tilt the appliance more than 45°C to prevent damage to the refrigeration system.
