STARTING
Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for half an hour before connecting it to power supply.
Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient
temperature is high.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run
more frequently and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance and at the back of the appliance.
Never cover ventilation openings.
Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy and should therefore
be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy.
To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom
drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.
An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator
compartment and thus increases the energy efficiency.
Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door briefly and closing it properly reduces energy
consumption.
The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased
unnecessarily.

OVERALL CLEANING
DEFROSTING
Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving. The interior of
the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Soft towels or sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The freezer of shall be
cleaned with clean water and dry cloth. Open the door for natural drying before the power is turned on.
Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone,
banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and
interior.
Do not rinse with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties.
Power off the refrigerator.
Remove the food from the refrigerator and place it properly to prevent food from melting.
Clear the drain pipe (to use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner), Prepare the water containers for defrosting. (Pay attention to
You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use plastic or
wooden ice shovel, for avoding damage to the liner or pipe).
You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water after defrosting.
After defrosting, put back the foods in cabinet, and power on the refrigerator.
CHANGING THE LIGHT

Troubleshooting
NOTICE: You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If them cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales
department.
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact;
Check whether the voltage is too low;
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped;
Failed operation
Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped;
Check whether there is any rotten food;
Clean the inside of the refrigerator;
Odor
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
Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged;
Have the light replaced by a specialist;
Light fails to get lit
The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed;
The refrigerator is tilted;
Doors cannot be
properly closed
Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations;
Loud noise
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);
Door seal fails to be
tight
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;
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;
Hot housing
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;
Surface condensation
Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or
stop. This is normal.
