NOTE
This refrigerator needs to be installed
independently and cannot be used as a
built-in. Otherwise, it will cause problems
such as failure to install into the cabinet,
the performance and life of the product
are reduced. And the manufacturer does
not provide basic product warranty.
2.2 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 direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool down to
room temperature before
placing it in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run
longer. Food that freezes too
slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap food properly,
and wipe containers dry before
placing them in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost build-up
inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bins should
not be lined with tin 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.
2.3 CHANGING THE
LIGHT
• Any replacement or
maintenance of the LED lamps
is intended to be made by the
manufacturer, its service agent
or similar qualified persons.
The light source in this product is
only to be replaced by qualified
engineers.
1. First remove the plug.
2. Remove the light cover with a
screwdriver.
3. Take down the lamp panel.
4. Remove the connection terminal.

3. MAINTENANCE OF REFRIGERATOR
3.1 OVERALL CLEANING
• Dust behind the refrigerator and
on the floor must be cleaned to
improve the cooling eect and
energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly
to make sure there is no debris.
Clean the door gasket with a
soft cloth dampened with soapy
water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator
should be cleaned regularly to
avoid odors.
• Please turn o the power before
cleaning the interior, remove all
food, drink, shelves, drawers,
etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge
to clean the inside of
the refrigerator with two
tablespoons of baking soda and
a quart of warm water. Then
rinse with water and wipe clean.
After cleaning, open the door
and let it dry naturally before
turning on the power.
• For areas that are dicult to
clean inside the refrigerator
(such as narrow places, gaps
or corners), we recommend to
wipe them regularly with a soft
rag, soft brush, etc. and when
necessary, with some tools
(such as thin sticks) to ensure
no contaminants or bacterial
accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent,
scrub powder, spray cleaner,
etc., as these may cause odors
inside the refrigerator or
contaminate food.
• Clean the door tray, shelves
and drawers with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water or
diluted detergent. Dry with a
soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the
refrigerator with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water,
detergent, etc., and then wipe
dry.
• Do not use hard brushes,
scouring pads, wire brushes,
abrasives (such as toothpaste),
organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, banana oil,
etc.), boiling water, acid or
alkaline items, which may
damage the fridge surface
and interior. Boiling water
and organic solvents such as
benzene may deform or damage
plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with
water or other liquids during
cleaning to avoid short circuit or
aect electrical insulation after
immersion.
Unplug the refrigerator for defrosting and
cleaning.

4. TROUBLE SHOOTING
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the
after-sale service department if the issues are not solved.
Malfunction Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug
is inserted properly.
Check whether the voltage is too low.
Check whether there is a power failure or circuits have tripped.
Odor Odorous food should be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any rotten food.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Long operation of
the compressor
Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the
ambient temperature is high.
We do not suggest placing too much food in the appliance at the same
time.
Food must cool down before being placed in the appliance.
The doors are opened too frequently.
Light fails to turn
on
Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and
whether the illuminating light is damaged.
Have the light replaced by a specialist.
Door cannot be
properly closed
The door is stuck by food packages.
The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noises Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed in
a stable position.
Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
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 the housing becomes hot due to high ambient
temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor,
provide good 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 the appliance may produce creak,
which is normal.
