08
Leveling feet
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven oor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise
to raise the unit, clockwise to
lower it.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.
ATTENTION
After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you
put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
Tips for energy saving
• 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 sufcient 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
“Instatation”
.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the
most efcient 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 lled 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 efciency.
• 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 efciency.
• Open the door only as briey as necessary to minimize cold loss. Opening the door
briey 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.

Tips on storing food
Cooling compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest
parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent
need for defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. Cool warm foods down to room
temperature and then place in the refrigerator, to ensure adequate air
circulation in the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator
because they could freeze to the wall.
• Do not keep regularly opening the refrigerator door.
• Meat and sh, packaged in plastic or foil, that is put in the refrigerator should
be used within 1 to 2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated
for fresh fruit and vegetables.
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 77 °F.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrost
• 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 clean the
compressor compartment water draining tray, Ovoding overow to the
ground).
• 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.
Stop using
Power failure:
In case of a power failure, even if it is in the summer, foods inside the appliance
can be kept for several hours. Please try to reduce the amount of time you open
the door during this time in order to keep the food as fresh as possible.
Long-time nonuse:
The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned. Please leave the doors open
to prevent odor.
Moving:
Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, x the glass
partitions, vegetable holder, 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°.
The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the
appliance shall not be nterrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired.
Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is
recommended to reduce the frequency of opening door.

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 Too much food is placed
• The refrigerator is tiltedr.
Loud noises
• Check whether the oor is level and whether the refrigerator
is placed stably
• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
13
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 overows
• 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 owing inside of the appliance may
produce creak, which is normal.
