Leveling feet

Precautions before operation
Before operation of accessories, it shall be ensured that the refrigerator is disconnected from power. Before adjusting the leveling feet, precautions shall be taken to prevent any personal injury.
Schematic diagram of the leveling feet

The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.
Adjusting procedures:

• Turn the feet clockwise to raise the refrigerator;
• Turn the feet counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator;
• Adjust the right and left feet based on the procedures above to a horizontal level.

Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person.
Starting

• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers.
• The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.

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 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.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE APPLIANCE

Overall cleaning

• 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 comers), 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.
• Clean the bottle frame, 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, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge 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 for defrost and cleaning.

Cleaning of door tray

(The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.)

Cleaning steps
In order to conveniently take off tray, punch the bottom of right part of tray for several times and again punch the bottom of left part of tray for several times, as shown in the figure. Tray can be smoothly taken off after it has been loosened.

Defrosting

The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic defrosting function. Frost formed dueto change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply orby wiping with a dry towel.

Out of operation

• Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.
• Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open to prevent odor.
• Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix 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. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated. The inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.

The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance A shall not be interrupted, otherwise the service life may be impaired.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Failed operation.

| •            Check whether the appliance Is connected to power or

vhether the plug is in well contact.

•            Check whether the voltage is too low.

•            Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits

have tripped.

---|---

Odor.

| •            Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.

•            Check whether there is any rotten food.

•            Clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Long-time operation of the compressor.

| •            Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer

when the ambient temperature is high.

•            It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance.

•            The doors are opened too frequently.

Light falls to get lit.

| •            Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power

supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.

•            Have the light replaced by a specialist.

Doors cannot be properly closed.| •            The door is stuck by food packages.

•            Too much food is placed.

•            The refrigerator is tilted.

Loud noise.

| •            Check whether the floor is level and whether the

refrigerator is placed stably

•            Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations

Door seal fails to be tight.| •            Remove foreign matters on the door seal.

•            Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow

it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).

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 entry of air and increased water due to defrosting

Hot housing.

| •            Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing,

which is normal When housing becomes hot  due  to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food or

shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.

Surface condensation.| •            Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
---|---

Abnormal noise.

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

•            Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may

produce creak, which is normal.
