USER MANUAL Side by Side Residential Style Refrigerator

Product Overview

NOTE:

● Due to possible update of product from time to time, your refrigerator may be slightly different from this User Manual, but its function and operation remain the same.

● To get the best energy efficiency of this product, please place all shelves, drawer and baskets on their original position as the User Manual indicates.

Operation

Control Panel

● All functions and controls of the unit are accessible from a control panel conveniently located on the front of the door. A display circuit board allows easy configuration of features and settings in a simple and intuitive manner.

● The display board consists of four buttons. You will hear a short beep when you press the buttons.

● To ensure the normal operation of the refrigerator, we recommend that when you start your refrigerator for the first time, set the temperature of the refrigerator compartment to 41 °F and the freezer compartment to 0 °F.

● However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside is dependent on:

− Room temperature

− How often the door is opened

− Quantity of food stored

− Appliance location

NOTE:

● When the refrigerator starts up, it is in the default mode of Energy Saving, which is to save energy and prolong the service life of LED lights. The screen illuminates for 20s and then goes off.

Function Selection

Press Function button to select operating mode following the sequence of Off Grid Vacation Mode (Holiday Mode) > Super Freezer Mode > Super Fridge Mode.

Stop cycling on desired setting to select mode. And the corresponding mode icon will illuminate.

On/Off

● Long press Function button for 5 seconds to turn the refrigerator’s LOW POWER mode on/off.

● Temperature displays illuminates with --, long press Function button for 5 seconds to turn refrigerator back on.

Off Grid Vacation Mode (Holiday Mode)

In this mode, the refrigerator runs at 43 °F and the freezer runs at 5 °F.

Setting this mode can help conserve energy after disconnecting from shore power, and using only DC12V power source and solar power sources. Limit the frequency of door openings, and length of time open. Sensitive foods should be consumed more quickly, and stored toward the rear of the fridge to maintain freshness.

To optimize DC12V power source runtime performance:

● Ensure the refrigerator and food stored is down to desired temperature before disconnecting shore power.

● Avoid adding significant amounts of warm items, especially beverages, at one time unless already cooled.

● Adding new items is best in the morning to utilize solar power (if available) during the day to bring the temperature back down without consuming DC12V power source capacity.

Super Freezer Mode

When the Super Freezer Mode is selected, the compressor will operate continuously to freeze foods faster, and keep them fresh. The super freezer mode will automatically turn off either after 24 hours of operation or when the freezer sensor reaches -18°F. The super freezer icon will turn off, and the freezer will continue to operate at the last temperature setting you have set before.

Super Fridge Mode

When the super fridge mode is selected, the fridge compartment reaches the set temperature in the shortest period, in order to keep the food as fresh as possible. In this mode, the set temperature of the fridge compartment locks on 32°F.

The program runs 150mins then exits automatically, the super fridge icon goes out,which means the super fridge function is disable, the temperature setting returns to the last one before the super fridge mode operates.

It can preserve foods for a long time.

The freezing chamber is suitable for retaining the freshness of foods for a long time. When storing meat, it is suggested to cut the meat into pieces which are easy to take out, and mark the freezing date to prevent foods from exceeding the time limit.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Exterior Cleaning

To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.

Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.

Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.

Clean the doors and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

IMPORTANT!

● Remove the food from the appliance before cleaning. Store them in a cool place and well covered.

● Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components.

Interior Cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. Follow the below steps:

● Remove all food.

● Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of baking soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.

● Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surface and removable parts.

Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartment’s interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick proceed as follows:

● Remove existing food and accessories baskets, switch off the power supply of the refrigerator and leave the doors open.

● Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.

● When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.

Defrosting

Traveling

Your refrigerator is designed to operate during normal transportation of your coach. Please refer to the following guidelines to assist during transportation.

● Always travel with the doors closed and ensure will not open during traveling.

● Avoid traveling with food in the cavity. Wait until you have arrived to your destination and remove any remaining food before departing.

● Turn refrigerator to “OFF” (LOW POWER MODE) if climbing/crawling any off-road grades. Compressor oil should resettle within 2 hours.

● Ensure the refrigerator has reached a desired stable temperature before departing for your trip. Avoid storing temperature sensitive items in the refrigerator while you are traveling unless a DC12V power source power source is available. During towing, the refrigerator can be operated as normal, as the tow vehicle should charge the DC12V power source. See Off-grid Vacation Mode for conserving power.

● Once you arrive at your destination, use the refrigerator as instructed in this manual.

STORAGE / WINTERIZATION

● A DC12V power source maintainer should be used for long storage, to keep a full charge.

● If the appliance is in storage, and not intended to be in operation, disconnect power, clean the inside thoroughly, and leave the doors propped open to avoid abnormal odors from developing.

● In LOW POWER mode, the interior lights, compressor and defroster are turned off.

At Power Failure

● Generally, short-term power failure will not affect the temperature of the refrigerator. However, if power failure lasts for a long time, you shall reduce the opening frequency of refrigerator, and shall not put fresh foods into the refrigerator (prevent rise in the temperature of refrigerator from speeding up).

● If you know power failure is coming, you can turn on the “Super Freezer” function in advance to keep the temperature of refrigerator to the lowest value.

Shut Down

● Generally, it is not suggested to stop refrigerator or turn off the power switch; otherwise, the lifetime of refrigerator may be affected.

Energy Saving Tips

● Make sure to keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

● Before storing hot foods, cool them down to room temperature and then put them into the refrigerator.

● Close the door timely, reduce the opening frequency, and shorten the opening time.

● When unfreezing frozen foods, you can put them into the refrigerator chamber, which will assist in refrigeration of the refrigerator chamber.

● Make sure that the temperature sensor is not covered or blocked by foods, and keep proper distance with foods.
