ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING

· Do not pull the power cord when pulling the power plug of the refrigerator. Firmly

grasp the plug and pull out it from the socket directly.

· To ensure safe use, do not damage the power cord or use the power cord when it

is damaged or worn.

· Use a dedicated power socket. The power socket shall not be shared with other

electrical appliances. The power plug should be firmly connected in the socket or

else fires might be caused.

· Ensure that the grounding electrode of the power socket is equipped with a

reliable grounding line.

· In the event of a gas leakage or leakage of other flammable gases, turn off the

valve of the leaking gas and then open the doors and windows. Do not unplug

the refrigerator and/or other electrical appliances considering that spark may

cause a fire.

· Do not use electrical appliances on the top of the appliance unless they are of the

type recommended by the manufacturer.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

· The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat

producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.

· Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.

Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Food that freeze

too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

· Be sure to wrap food properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the

appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.

· Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or

paper toweling. 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.

Defrosting

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
DEFROSTING The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel. OUT OF OPERATION · Power failure: In case of power failure, even in the summer, food inside the
appliance can be kept for several hours. During the power failure, reduce the amount of times that you open the door and do not put any more food into the appliance. · Long-time nonuse: Unplug the appliance. Clean it and leave the doors open to prevent odor. · Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, secure the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and fix them with tape. While moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally or be vibrated. The inclination during movement should be no more than 45°.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE FAULT

POSSIBLE FAULT/SOLUTION

Water pan overflows

There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.

The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to the entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.

Hot housing

This is heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal. When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature and storage of too much food, it is recommended to provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation. Hot housing can also be caused by the refrigerator cooling frequently. This will be normal when hosting parties or when the door is left open for long periods of time.

Surface condensation

Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Wipe the condensate with a clean towel.

Abnormal noises

Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.

Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce a creak and a bubbling noise, which is normal.

Ice maker does not make ice After you install the water line and start the refrigerator, it may take 12 hours to start producing ice.

Turn on the ice making function (see page 24).

Check whether the water pressure meets 30-100psi and whether the water line is connected normally.

Check whether the water supply valve is open and whether the water pipe is bent.

Check whether the ice bucket is installed.
