Tips for energy saving

• 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.

Failed operation

| • Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether 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 fails to get lit

|

• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged

Door can not be properly closed

|

• The door is stuck by food packages

• The refrigerator is tiltedr.

Loud noises

|

• Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably

• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Problem| Possible reason
---|---

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 buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
• Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.

Coldest zone in the refrigerator
OPTIONAL: OK-temperature indicator

• The OK-temperature indicator can be used to determine temperatures below +4°C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate “OK”.

• To ensure the temperature in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. Inforced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models),the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous.

Temperature indicator setting

• To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.
• WARNING:This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.

Checking the temperature in the coldest zone

• With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.
• When the indicator shows « OK », this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the internal temperature correct.
• If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator. When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
