1 SAFETY WARNINGS
Warning for energy
1)Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of
time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
2)The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in
low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold;
3)The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of
food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage
compartments or cabinets;
4)The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while
defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
5)The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning could shorten the storage life.
6)The necessity that, for doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out of the reach of
children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to prevent children from being
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.

several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh
food shall be put into the appliance.
Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open
to prevent odor.
Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable
holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the levelling feet; close the doors and
fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be

Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
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

Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration
(or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
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
Abnormal noise
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
Long-time operation
of the compressor
The door is stuck by food packages

is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate
with a clean towel.
Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes
are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
