2.4 REPLACING THE LIGHT

Replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps should be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service agent or a suitably qualified person.

2.5 USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Before switching on for the first time, allow the appliance to stand for half an hour before plugging it in.

• Before placing any fresh or frozen food in the appliance let it run for 2­3 hours, or at least 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.

• Leave enough space to allow the doors and drawers to open easily, or follow the distributor’s recommendations.

2.6 ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from hot appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run for longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may deteriorate in quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

LAYOUT AND CONTROLS

3.1 MAIN COMPONENTS

Refrigerator compartment

• The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food for consumption in the short term.
• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator compartment until it has cooled to room temperature.
• It is recommended that food is sealed before putting into the refrigerator.
• The glass shelves can be adjusted up or down to provide convenient storage space and for ease of use.

Freezer compartment

• The low temperature freezer compartment can keep food fresh for a long time and is mainly used to store frozen foods and make ice.

  smaller pieces for quick freezing and easy access. Please note that all food should be consumed within the recommended storage time.
  Drawers, food containers and shelves are the most energy efficient when they are placed in their original positions when the appliance was delivered. Please refer to the illustration.
  Note: Adding too much food to the appliance when it is first turned on may adversely affect the freezing performance.

3.2 CONTROLS

1. Key A. Set key (Temperature setting button for refrigerator compartment)

4. Each time the temperature setting button A is pressed, the temperature setting changes to the next setting. After the temperature setting has been completed, the refrigerator will run according to the set value after 30 seconds. The sequence of settings is as follows:

5. To enter Super Freeze mode, press the temperature setting key for 3 seconds; LED 2 and LED 3 will light up for 30 seconds and the appliance will enter Super Freeze mode. Press the temperature setting key again for 3 seconds to cancel Super Freeze mode.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

4.1 GENERAL CLEANING

• Dust behind the appliance and on the floor should be removed regularly to improve cooling performance and save energy.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris on it. 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 odour.
• Turn off the power before cleaning the interior, and remove all food, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside the refrigerator, using two tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let the interior dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow channels, gaps or corners), it is recommended that you wipe them regularly with a soft cloth, soft brush, etc., and if necessary in combination with additional tools (such as narrow brushes) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scouring powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminate food.
• Clean the bottle rack, 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, scouters, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline cleansers, which may damage the appliance 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.
  Please unplug the refrigerator before defrosting and cleaning.

4.2 DEFROSTING

• Turn off the appliance.

• Remove the food from the freezer and place it somewhere cool to prevent food from spoiling.

• Clear the drain pipe (use a soft material to prevent damage to the liner). Prepare the water containers for defrosting. (Do not forget to clean the compressor compartment water tray, avoiding spillage on the floor.)

• You can allow the appliance to defrost naturally, and use an ice scoop to remove the frost (use a plastic or wooden ice scoop,
  to avoid damaging the liner or pipe).

• You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up defrosting, and a dry towel to mop up the water from defrosting.

• After defrosting, place the food back in the compartment and turn on the appliance.

4.3 WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY

• Power cut: If there is a power cut, even if it is in summer, food can be kept safely inside the appliance for several hours. During this period, the door should be opened for the shortest time possible, and no more fresh food should be put into the appliance.
• Long periods of non-use: The appliance should be unplugged and then cleaned, and the doors should be left open to prevent odour.
• Moving: Before moving the appliance, remove all the items from inside, secure the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezer compartment drawers, etc. with tape; screw in the levelling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape. During moving, the appliance must not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be subjected to vibration. The appliance must not be tilted by more than 45° while being moved.

The appliance should be allowed to run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance should not be interrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired.
