Notice: Please take off the protector on the pins of the plug. It takes 2 -3 hours before the refrigerator can be normally used. Don’t put foods into the refrigerator right after the refrigerator is energized.
Moving the appliance
- Remove all food and unplug the appliance
- Secure shelves and other moveable parts in the fridge and freezer with adhesive tape
- Do not tilt the appliance more than 45° to avoid damaging the refrigerating system
- Do not lift the appliance by its handles
- Never place the appliance horizontally on the ground
Placement
-
The refrigerator should be placed on solid ground.
-
To avoid leaning forward, the adjustable black foot in the front of the refrigerator can be adjusted. Turn clockwise to raise up the Refrigerator.
Never use foamed plastic as space or pad to lift up the refrigerator -
To keep the refrigerator ventilated, there should be at least 10 cm against the wall for each side.
-
Never place the Refrigerator in a damp place or with water splashes. Any water drops or other contaminations shall be wiped out by a soft cloth to prevent rusting or any impairment to the electrical insulation.
-
Do not use the appliance under 5 degrees, do not use it outside or in the rain.
This appliance is intended to be used in a room with an ambient temperature
between 16°C and 43°C since it can influence the temperature inside the
appliance and its energy consumption.
Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds
to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
- – Extended temperate (SN): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C’
- – Temperate (N): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C’
- – Subtropical (ST): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’
- – Tropical (T): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C’
Fine-tuning of the doors
If the doors are still not at level after leveling the doors by the feet, this
mismatch can be remedied by turning
the hinge lifting shaft at the right bottom, corner of the refrigerator door
with a spanner
- Turn the lifting shaft clockwise with a spanner to lower the door height
- Turn the lifting shaft anti-clock with a spanner to lift the door height

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 direct sunlight.
– Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
– Avoid unnecessary low temperature in the appliance, as the energy
consumption would increase
– Functions like Super Cool or Fast Freeze consume more energy
– 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. The
appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper toweling. Do not overfill the appliance
– Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less
efficient.
– Open the appliance’s door as little and as briefly as possible, while
keeping door seals clean so that the door always closes correctly
– The most energy-saving configuration requires drawer, food box and shelves
to be positioned in the appliance in factory-fresh condition, and food to be
placed without blocking the air outlet of the duct

Tips on storing fresh food
Position different food in different compartments according to be below the
table
Refrigerator compartment | Type of food |
---|---|
Door or balconies of fridge compartment |
- Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condiments.
- Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)|
- Fruits, herbs, and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper bin
- Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf – middle|
- Dairy products, eggs
Fridge shelf – top|
- Foods that do not need cocking, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers.
Freezer drawer(s)/tray|
-
Foods for long-term storage
-
Bottom for raw meat, poultry, fish
-
Middle for frozen vegetables, chips.
-
Top for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods.
-
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
-
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
-
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°
Notice: Acid, alkali and salt, etc. could erode the internal surface of
the freezer. Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish)
directly on the internal surface. Saltwater in the freezer should be cleaned
up immediately.
Notice: Keep a distance of more than 10 mm between food and sensor as to
ensure the cooling effect.
Water dispenser (only for HHSWD918F1XK)
With the water dispenser, cool drinking water can be taped. The water tank
should be cleaned before first use (see CARE AND CLEANING section)

Notice: Before refilling, dispose of residual water and clean the water
tank.
When you don’t need water for a long time, empty the water tank and insert the
cleaned tank
The cover (C) on the water tank is additionally used to save energy. If you
don’t use the water dispenser for a long period, install the cover for better
insulation and energy saving
Getting water from the dispenser
- Ensure the lock (A) is moved to “Unlock”
