Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the
higher settings before putting food in the
compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity
required.
●
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
●
Do not allow fresh，unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.

Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories) should
be cleaned regularly at least every two months.
Caution! The appliance must not be
connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch
the appliance off and remove the plug from the
mains socket.
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, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry
with a soft cloth.
Caution!
-Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch
the surface.
-Don't use thinner, car detergent, clorox, ethereal oil,
abrasive cleansers or organic

1.Remove existing food and accessori1.
2.. When defrosting is completed, clean yo
solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may
damage the surface of the appliance and may cause
fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks
are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a
weak solution of bicarbonate of 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 surfaces and removable parts.
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, choose a time when the supply of food
stocks are low and proceed as follows:
baskets, unplug the appliance from the mains
power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the
room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing
process.
freezer as described above.
Defrosting in frozen-food storage
compartment
Take the ice tray and food in drawers out or put
them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily.
Set the knob of the temperature regulator to
position “0”(where the compressor will stop
working) and leave the door of the refrigerator
open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and
accumulation at the bottom of the freezer
chamber. Wipe off the water with soft cloth.
In the case of speeding up the process of
defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water
(about 50°C) into the freezer chamber, and
scrape away the ice and frost with a
defrosting spatula. After doing so,be sure to
set the knob of the temperature regulator to
the original position.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber
directly with hot water or hair dryer while
defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner
case.
It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and
frost or separate food from the containers
which have been congealed together with the
food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as
not to damage the inner casing or the surface
of the evaporator.
Caution! Don't use sharp objects to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior
is completely dry should the appliance be switched
back on and plugged back into the mains socket.
Door seals cleaning
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and
drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear
when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it
thoroughly after cleaning.
Caution! Only after the door seals are completely dry
should the appliance be powered on.
Defrosting in fresh food storage
compartment
It is automatically controlled by switching the
temperature regulator on or off so that there is no
need of operation of defrosting. Water from
defrosting will be drained into an drip tray through
a drain pipe at the back of the fridge
automatically.
Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated
manually. Before defrosting, take the food out.
Defrosting
Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside
the fridge be opening doors may form a frost layer
inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the
frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm thick,
you should defrost.
Warning! Switching off the appliance before
defrosting, turn the temperature regulator to
position “0”.
Important! The fridge should be defrosted at
least every one month. During the using
process, if the door was opened frequently or
using the appliance in the extreme humidity,
we advise the user to defrost every two
weeks.
Go out of use for a long time
Remove all refrigerated packages.
Switch off the appliance by turning the
temperature regulator to position “0”.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or
disconnect the electricity supply.
