ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any
heat source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed
directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insucient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling eciency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy
Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy
Consumption may be aected also by the ambient temperature, as
well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors. Reduce door opening to minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the
appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the
ecient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in
such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch
each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing
baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are
normal operation noises.

Preparations for use
Installation location:
1. Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator installation should be well-ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator
near a heat source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration eect while saving
energy consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking
electricity. The result of the refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator being divided by the total space of the room in
which the refrigerator is installed shall be less than 8g / m³.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives o heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of free space should be spared at the top
side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.

Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the refrigerator is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make sure to energize the refrigerator
after more than 1 hour’s standing, so as to ensure its normal operation.
2. Cleaning
Conrm the accessory parts inside the refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the refrigerator door, if the temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the refrigerator will be automatically controlled according
to the user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully coo-
led. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the refrige-
rator door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools down).
If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker
are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air con-
vection around the compressor, move the refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause jamming noise or
image chaos to the mobile phone, xed-line telephone, radio receiver, television surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as
far away as possible in such case.

Instructions for food storage
Precautions for use
• The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen
food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the refri-
gerating appliance is designed
• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature could be aected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature,
and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature control device might have to be
varied to allow for these factors should be made.
• Eervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some products
such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.
9 / 13
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is dierent, so dierent kinds of
food should be placed in dierent areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some
condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits,
etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.
Use of the fresh food compartment
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up rst, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before
putting it down. Keep the shelf rear ange upward, to prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the
shelf, hold it rmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it
back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be aected.
Use of the crisper humidity regulating rod
The humidity regulating rod of the crisper box is design to maintain the humidity and freshness of the vegetables stored inside.
When the humidity regulating rod is slide to the right, with more holes exposed, lower humidity will be kept inside the crisper box.
When the humidity regulating rod is slide to the left, with less holes exposed, higher humidity will be kept inside the crisper box.
Cautions for food storage
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator,
it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent
taint of odor on the other hand.
Do not put too many or too heavy foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold air ow
will be blocked, thus aecting the refrigeration eect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being
crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the
fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods
Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration
can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoided.
Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food
in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the eect that some types of fresh vegetables and
fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made.
Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 °C, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer
compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small
pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due
to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions
• You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen
together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are rm, tasteless, impervious to air and water,
non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of
frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”, found
on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets
and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or ste-
am cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for them to
freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob
to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness
well kept.

Tips for special needs
Moving the refrigerator/freezer
• Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildin-
gs or sun lounges.
• Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/freezer door gasket sealing
performance will be aected, or even it may lead to the operating failure of your refrigerator/freezer.
After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to settle.
• Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time
• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it o rst, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
• Take out all foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door
removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source, place the appliance smoothly, and do
not place heavy objects on top of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug rst; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand, because there is
a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and
accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be scratched by sharp metal
corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food
compartment is usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped
in warm water or neutral detergent.
Clear o the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot
water and other corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so
as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, x
the four corners of the door gasket rst, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system
• Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of
power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
• Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible, in this way can food safely and freshly kept for hours even in hot sum-
mer.
