Inoperation| 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

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 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.
