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 to run continuously in order to maintain a 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 best to wait24 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/fish 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 drainpipe (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
- Dust 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 the 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 bacterial 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.

- 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 the compressor, especially when starting up or shutting down.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
-
Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed. -
The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water
ices should not be consumed too cold; -
The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food freezer and frozen food
storage compartments or cabinets; -
The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of
newspaper. -
The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
