PRODUCT OVERVIEW

OPERATION

• The temperature selector knob is located on the right hand sidewall of the refrigerator interior
  • Setting “Min”: Less Cool Temperature
  • Setting “Med”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
  • Setting “Max”: Coolest Temperature
• During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days. It may be necessary to set the thermostat to the Coolest setting (position”Max”).This may cause the compressor running continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.
• For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at “Med”. Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait
  24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature

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/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which 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 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 out.

Troubleshooting

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If them cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department.

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: 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 a compressor especially when starting up or shutting down.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible. Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance). In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting. Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of dust or any impurities

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing 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 longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose 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. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• The 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.
