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 or statement by the distributor.
2.6 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 ecient.
•
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.

Loud noise
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)
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
