• Do not spray or wash the refrigerator; do not put the refrigerator in moist
places easy to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical
insulation properties of the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator is placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall
be flat, and sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for leveling if
unstable).

• 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
efficient.
• 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.
Tips for energy saving
Connecting the appliance
• After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before
turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or a
damage to the product.
• 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.
• Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the
freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor
due to successive starts.
Changing the light
• Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person. This product contains

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after-sale
service department if the issues are not solved.
Problem Possible reason
Failed operation
• 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 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
Light fails to get lit
• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power
supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged
• Have the light replaced by a specialist
Door can not 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 stably
• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
19
Problem Possible reason
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 drier 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 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
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 of the appliance may
produce creak, which is normal.
