All images in this instruction manual are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for details. Two-star 9 frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes, not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
OPERATION
Switching On Your Unit
- The temperature selector knob is located on the middle of the upper beam.
- Setting “Min “: Less Cool Temperature
- Setting “Mid”: 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 maintaina low temperature in the cabinet.
- For the first time, you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at “Mid”. 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
- Keep raw meats/fishes in a container that is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest drawer.
- Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
- To prevent the transfer of favors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. 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 out.
CLEANING
Defrosting
- Power off the refrigerator.
- Remove the food from the refrigerator and place it properly to prevent food from melting
- Clear the drain pipe (to use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner), Prepare the water containers for defrosting. (pay attention to cleaning the compressor compartment water draining tray, avoiding overflow to the ground).
- You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use a plastic or wooden ice shovel, for avoiding damage to the liner or pipe)
- You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water after defrosting.
- After defrosting, put back the foods in the cabinet, and power on the 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 interior, 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, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials 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.

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.

Troubleshooting
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not settled.
lnoperation
| Whether the freezer is plugged and connected to power; Low voltage;
Failure power or tripping circuit
---|---
Odor
| Odorous foods should closely wrapped; Whether foods are rotten;
Whether the interior shall be cleaned.
Long-term operation of compressor
| It is normal that refrigerator operates for longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher;
Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time; Do not put foods until they are cooled;
Frequent opening of refrigerator door.
Illuminating light does not Whether the refrigerator is connected to power,
shine whether the illuminating light is damaged.
The refrigerator door can not The freezer door is stuck by food packages;
be properly closed. Too much food;
Tilt refrigerator.
Loud noises
| Whether the food is leveled, whether the refrigerator is balanced;
Whether the refrigerator parts are properly placed.
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.
- 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.
