• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in

moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.

• 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).

Leveling feet

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.

The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.

Moving the appliance

ATTENTION

Precautions before operation:

Before making changes the refrigerator must be disconnected from power. precautions

should be taken to prevent any personal injury.

1. Remove all food from inside the appliance.

2. Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the power plug hook at the rear

or on top of the appliance.

3. Tape parts such as shelves and the door handle to prevent from falling off

while moving the appliance.

4. Move the appliance with more than two people carefully. When transporting

the appliance over a long distance, keep the appliance upright.

5. After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket out to

switch on the appliance.

• 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 a

light source of energy efficiency class <F>.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Overall cleaning

ATTENTION

Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.

• Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to

improve the cooling effect and energy saving.

• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the

door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted

detergent.

• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow

sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with

a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary

tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials

accumulation in these areas.

toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.),

boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the fridge surface and

interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or

damage plastic parts.

• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short

circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

Cleaning of door tray

• According to the direction arrow in the figure

below, use both hands to squeeze the tray, and

push it upward, then you can take it out.

Cleaning the vegetable drawer

Out of operation

Power failure:

In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be

kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall

be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.

Long-time nonuse:

The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open

to prevent odor.

Moving:

Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass

partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and

tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and fix 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°.

ATTENTION

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.

Defrosting

• The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has

automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or

temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the

appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

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

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.
