1.6 Warnings for energy
Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of

escent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments
or containers or in low-temperature compartments or containers,
and that should not be consumed too cold.
Do not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food
manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially
quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage
compartments or containers.
To prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while
defrosting the refrigerating appliance, it should take precautions
such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.

2. Proper use of the refrigerator
2.1 Placement
Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for
two hour before connecting it to power supply.
Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects
ves, freezing chamber
drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the
leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with
tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be
laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated;
the inclination during movement shall be no more
than 45°.
Before use, remove all packing materials, including
bottom cushions, foam pads and tapes inside of the
refrigerator; tear of the protectiv
and the refrigerator body. Keep away from heat and
avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the appliances
in moist or watery places to prevent rust or
reduction of insulating e
ect.
Do not spray of liquid and etc. or wash the
refrigerator; do not put the refrigerator in moist
places easy to be splashed with water so as not to
a
ect the electrical insulation properties of
the refrigerator.
The refrigerator should placed in a well-ventilated
indoor place; the ground shall be fat, and sturdy
(rotate left or right to adjust the leveling feet
for leveling if unstable).
The top space of the refrigerator shall be greater
than 30cm, and the refrigerator should be placed
against a wall with a free distance more than
10cm to facilitate heat dissipation.
Precautions before installation:
Before installation or adjusting of accessories, it shall be
ensured that the refrigerator is disconnected from power.
Precautions shall be taken to prevent fall of the handle
from causing any personal injury.

Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two hours
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.
Spare enough space for convenient opening of the
doors and drawers or spare statement by the
distributor.
2.5 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 the
direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods
that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the
appliance.
Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax
paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the appliance less
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.

If them cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department.
Occurrence
Operation failure
Possible cause / inspection items
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.
Odor
Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any rotten food.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Long-time
operation
of the compressor
Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the
ambient tempera
ture is high.
It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the
s ame time.
Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance.
The doors are opened too frequently.
Lighting failure Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and
whether the illumination light is damaged.
Have the light replaced by a specialist.
Closing door failure The doors is stuck by food packages.
Too much food is placed the refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noise
Check whether the
oor is level and whether the refrigerator is
placed on stable ground.
Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
Door is not properly
sealed
Remove foreign matters on the door seal, Heat the door seals and
then cool it for restoration. (or blow it with an electrical drier or
use a hot towel for heating)
Over
owing water
from pan
There is too much food in the freezing 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 cabinet
Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the cabinet,
which is normal. When cabinet becomes too hot due to
high ambient temperature, or storage of too muc
h food,
compressor shutdown. Ensure 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.
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, which is normal.
Creak: Refrigerant
owing inside of the appliance may produce creak,
which is normal.
