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 favours 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.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe of any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

MAINTENANCE

1. Changing the Internal Light
   Lamp replacement by professionals.

2. Care When Handling / Moving Your Unit
   Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not settled.

In operation| 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 shine| Whether the refrigerator is connected to power, whether the illuminating light is damaged.
The refrigerator door can not be properly closed.| The freezer door is stuck by food packages; 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 specially 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 compressor specially when starting up or shutting down.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

For better energy saving we suggest :

Installing tge appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated roo.

Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuos functionaliting of the compressor.

Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.

Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.

In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.

Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible

Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.

Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance

Warning for energy

1. 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.
2. 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;
3. 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;
4. 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.
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
6. The necessity that, for doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to prevent children from being locked inside.
7. Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
8. Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
9. Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
10. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
11. If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent would developing within the appliance.

SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
