or wet places to prevent rust
or reduction of the insulating
• Do not spray or wash the
refrigerator; do not place the
refrigerator in damp places where
it can be splashed with water to not
aect the electrical
insulation properties of the
refrigerator.
• The refrigerator is placed in a
well-ventilated indoor place; the

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 food cool down to
room temperature before
placing it in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run
longer. Food that freezes too
slow may lose its 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 the cold
air circulation, making the
• 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 lights
is intended to be made by the
manufacturer, service agents
or another qualified person.
The light source in this product is
only to be replaced by qualified
engineers.

Refrigerating chamber
• The refrigerating chamber is
suitable for storage of a variety
of fruits, vegetables, beverages
and other short-term food, but
the vegetables should be as far
away from the refrigeration air
supply outlet as possible.
• Hot food should not be put
in the refrigerating chamber until
cooled to room temperature.
• It is recommended that all food
are sealed before putting into the
refrigerator.
• The glass shelves can be
adjusted up or down for a
reasonable amount of storage
space and easy use.
Freezing chamber
• The low temperature freezing
chamber may keep food fresh for
a long time and it is mainly used
to store frozen food.
• The freezing chamber is suitable
for the storage of meat, fish,
and other food not to be
consumed in short term.
• It is preferred that meat is divided
into small pieces for
quick freezing and easy access.
Note that food should be
consumed within the shelf time.
IMPORTANT:
Drawers, food boxes, shelves, etc. placed according to the position in the picture above
are the most energy ecient.
NOTE
Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may
adversely aect the freezing eect of the refrigerator. Food stored should not block the
air outlet; otherwise the freezing eect will also be adversely aected.
When storing beverages at the coldest setting, the fruits and vegetables inside are at risk
of freezing. Set at a warmer temperature if the coldest setting is too cool.

failure, even in summer,
food inside the appliance can
be kept for several hours. During
the power failure, the amount of times
of opening the doors must be
reduced, and no additional fresh

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. 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 dryer 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,
p
rovide good v
entilation 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 a creak,
which is normal.

How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover food to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors
from other food. A large pot of food, like soup or stew, should be divided
into small portions and put in shallow containers before being refrigerated.
A large cut of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces
or placed in shallow containers before being refrigerated.
Placement of foods
Shelves Shelves are adjustable to accommodate a variety of
packages.
Specialized
compartment
(applicable
models only)
Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage
environment for fruit and vegetables. Vegetables require
higher humidity while fruit requires lower humidity.
Crispers are equipped with control devices to control
the humidity level (*depending on model and options).
An adjustable temperature meat drawer maximizes the
storage time of meat and cheese.
Storage in the
door
Do not store perishable food in the door. Eggs should
be stored in the carton on a shelf. The temperature of
the storage bins in the door fluctuates more than the
temperature inside the cabinet. Keep the door closed as
much as possible.
Freezer
compartment
You can store frozen food and freeze fresh food in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which
is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, place in airtight
containers.
