Electrical Connection

WARNING
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with the standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This refrigerator appliance requires a standard 220-240VAC 50Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.
This refrigerator appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit. Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

Climate Range
The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is, room temperature, in which the appliance is working) the appliance is designed to run at its optimal performance.

Climate range	Permissible ambient temperature
SN	from +10°C to +32°C
N	from +16°C to +32°C
ST	from +16°C to +38°C
T	from +16°C to +43°C

Note: Given the limit values of the ambient temperature range for the climate classes for which the refrigerating appliance is designed and the fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors, if appropriate.

Note: When operating in an environment other than the specified climate type (i.e., beyond the rated ambient temperature range), the appliance may not be able to maintain the desirable compartment temperatures.

Freon-free
The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming insulation material (cyclopentane) that is environmentally friendly are used for the refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on global warming. R600a is flammable and sealed in a refrigeration system, without leakage during normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to keep the appliance away from open flames and open the windows for ventilation as quickly as possible.

Preparation for use

Installation location

Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator installation should be well- ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat source such as a cooker, or boiler, and avoid direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in a damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and the risk of electric shock. The result of the total space of the room in which the refrigerator is installed being divided by the refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator shall not be less than 8 g/ M³
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to the surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator. Note: Figure 1, and Figure 2 only as a product space demand size schematic diagram.

Level ground

Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, solid backing plates should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so as to prevent color change due to heat dissipation.

Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance.

Preparations for use

Standing time
Once the refrigerator is in place make sure that you do not switch it on immediately. If the appliance has been transported in an upright position it will require 4 hours to stand before being turned on. If the appliance has been transported in a horizontal position it will require a minimum of 8 hours standing time before being switched on so as to ensure normal operation.
Cleaning
Confirm all of the accessory parts are inside the refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the refrigerator will be automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the refrigerator door as little as possible before the internal temperature cools down).

Note: If the refrigerator is installed in a moist place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, or television set surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible in such cases

Functions

Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by the control panel mounted in the fridge compartment.
The refrigerator temperature setting cycles as following:
5→4→3→2→1→FASTCOOL→5,
The mode ” 3″ is recommended and mode” 5 “is not recommended for regular use so as to avoid frozen food
You can set the ‘fast cool’ function to quickly cool or freeze foods. The fast cool function will exit automatically after 26 hours, ideally it should be turned off after 2-3 hours manually.

Instructions for food storage

Precautions for use
The appliance might not operate consistently (there is the possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the ambient temperature range for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
The information of the climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors should be made.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some products such as ice lollies should not be consumed too cold.

Food storage location:
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of foods that need not be frozen, cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.

Use of the fresh food compartment:
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time in the fresh food compartment.

Fridge shelf:
When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contacting the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.

Crisper box:
Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.

How to use the ice-making box:
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.

Cautions for food storage:
Clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation, keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.
Do not put too much food inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.

Categorized storage of foods:
Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoided.

Energy-saving tips:
Allow the hot food to cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.

Ice formation on the back wall:
It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the fridge (see below image) as this is a wet wall appliance. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance. Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back wall at any time as this may cause freezing of food and possible issues with the drain hole becoming blocked or water on the shelves.

Storage of fruits and vegetables:
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartments, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment:

The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid bursting due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen.
Divide the food into appropriately small portions
Pack the food up before freezing it, the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odour.

Tips for shopping for frozen foods:

When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best before”, usually found on the front of the packaging.
Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less time for them to freeze up and thaw.
Estimate the number of foods to be frozen. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lower. So foods can be frozen in a fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.

Tips for Water dispenser:
The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have access to cold water almost immediately. The water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of water which has to be filled manually. To use water dispenser follow the instructions below:

Open the refrigerator door to ensure the water dispenser tank (A) is firmly fixed in place.
Open the filler cover (B) of the water tank, slowly fill the water tank carefully to prevent any spills until the tank is filled. Then close the filler cover of the water tank. See image C.
Once the water tank is full, set the thermostat at the lowest mode or the Fast Cool mode, and one hour later you can dispense water for drinking. See image D.
When using the water dispenser, some water may drip and accumulate at the bottom of the water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth when necessary.
The maximum fill must be lower than the tank cover as indicated by the maximum fill line
NOTE: Don’t take away the cup until the water drops stop.

Important Reminders

Location

Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid direct sunlight or cold temperatures in out-buildings or conservatories etc..
Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or it may even lead to the operating failure of your refrigerator/freezer.
after locating the refrigerator/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are away for a long time.
If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
Take out all foods.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from any heat source. Place the appliance in a safe place, and do not place heavy objects on top of it.
The unit should not be accessible for children to play with.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or unplug with wet hands, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. When placing your hands into the refrigerator take care.

Internal cleaning and external cleaning
Any food residue in the refrigerator is liable to produce a strong odor, so the refrigerator must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.

WARNING: Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a soft cotton cloth. If the gasket is removed for cleaning make sure when re-fitting to afix the four corners of the door gasket first, and then carefully slide into the door groove.

Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system.
Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
Try to open the refrigerator door as little as possible, in this way food can safely and freshly be kept for hours even in hot weather.

If you get the power outage notice in advance：
Adjust the thermostat knob to the highest mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
You can also make ice with watertight containers, and then put it in the upper part of the fridge and freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh/frozen food to be stored.

Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you are advised to use it continuously; and under normal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.

Defrosting

After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment inner wall surface, which may affect the refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the
frost off using an ice scraper rather than any metal or sharp hardware. Frost needs to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of drawers and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to remove the
frost in a timely manner. Follow the following steps to remove frost build up:

Take out the frozen foods making sure it is either well insulated in paper or towels to avoid defrosting. Shut off the mains power supply, open the freezer door, and gently remove the frost build up from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the thawing process if you have excessive frost/ice build up you are advised to place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer, close the door for a short time and when the solid ice frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and then take them out.
After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.
