OPERATION

Operation Instructions

Temperature control

• Temperature control of fresh food storage compartment

• 2E is relatively low and 8E is relatively high. The temperature is generally set to 48 according to the requirements.

• If much food is placed in the fresh food storage compartment in one time, fast cooling will be required to make the food temperature drop as soon as possible.

• When set to the fast cool mode, the refrigerator will run in the mode for 2.5 hours; after the end of fast cool mode, the temperature controller of fast cool mode, the temperature controller of refrigerating chamber will recover to the previous
  setting automatically.
  The fast cool function can be used as a Super-freezing function

• Temperature control of the freezing chamber

The freezing temperature is relatively low in the “COOLER” position, while the freezing temperature is relatively high in the “COOL” position, thus, the “NORMAL” position is generally used.

When the ambient temperature is high in summer, the temperature shall be in the range from “NORMAL” to “COOL”. If the ambient temperature is above 35°C, then “COOL” position shall prevail.

When the ambient temperature is low in winter, the temperature shall be in the range from “NORMAL” to “COOLER”. If the ambient temperature is below 10°C, then the “COOLER” position shall prevail.

Noise Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC- free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fish should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fish to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fish in a container that is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of favors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air from escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food MIIT

CLEANING

Defrosting

• Auto-defrost for Frost-free Refrigerator

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Please turn off the power before cleaning the interior, and remove all foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combine with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives(such as toothpaste),  organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

Warm tips:

• The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon.
• Condensation : The condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
• Buzz : Buzz will be generated by running compressor especially when starting up or shutting down.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Warning 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 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.
