Preparations for use
Installation location
1. Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator
installation should be well-ventilated and has less
hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat
source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from
direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the
refrigeration effect while saving energy
consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in the
damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from
rusting and leaking electricity. The result of the
total space of the room in which the refrigerator
is installed being divided by the refrigerant charge
amount of the refrigerator shall not be less than
8 g/M
3
.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the
refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
10
2. Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to
surroundings. Therefore, at least 300 mm of free
space should be spared at the top side, more
than 100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at
the back side of the refrigerator.
3. Level ground
Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground
(floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to
vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is
placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw
mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates
should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so
as to prevent color change due to heat
dissipation.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be
maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the refrigerator is properly installed and well
cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make
sure to energize the refrigerator after more than
1 hour of standing, so as to ensure its normal
operation.
2. Cleaning
Confirm the accessory parts inside the
refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the
compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door,
if the temperature inside the freezer
compartment drops obviously, it indicates the
refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the
internal temperature of the refrigerator will be
automatically controlled according to the user’s
temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully
cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours
to be fully cooled. In summer, when the
temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for
the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the
refrigerator door as less as possible before the
internal temperature cools down).
If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture
place, make sure to check whether the ground
wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If
vibration noises are produced due to the
refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets
blackened by air convection around the
compressor, move the refrigerator away from the
wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause
jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile
phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver,
television set surrounding it, so try to keep the
refrigerator as far away as possible in such case.
Functions
Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled
by the control panel mounted in the fridge
compartment.
1. Under the normal operating condition (in
spring and autumn), it is recommended to
set at Mode 5-8.
2. In summer when the ambient temperature is
high, it is recommended to set at Mode 2-4,
so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer
temperatures by extending the refrigerator
running time; and in winter when the
ambient temperature is low, it is
recommended to set at Mode 2-4 to avoid
frequent start/stop of the refrigerator.
3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the
fridge temperature and the freezer
temperature can be reduced rapidly at the
same time, so that foods can be kept in fresh
condition with their nutrition not lost. The
maximum running time of the fast-cool
function is 26 hours, after which, the
refrigerator will be restored to its previous
mode that is set before the fast-cool
function is enabled.
Note: If the indicator light 2 or 5 or ‘8’
gets flickering, it indicates that the
refrigerator has broken down. Please
contact the after-sales personnel for on-site
service as soon as possible.
Instructions for food storage
Precautions for use
The appliance might not operate consistently
(there is possibility of defrosting or
temperature becoming too warm in the
frozen food compartment) when sited for an
extended period of time below the cold limit
of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed
The information of climate type of the
appliance is provided on the rating plate.
The internal temperature could be affected
by such factors as the location of refrigerating
appliance, ambient temperature, and
frequency of door open, etc., and if
appropriate, a warning that setting of any
temperature control device might have to be
varied to allow for these factors should be
11
made.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in
the freezer compartment or the low-
temperature compartment, and some
products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold.
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator,
the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is
different, so different kinds of food should be
placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the
storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the
cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that
need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The
crisper box is suitable for the preservation of
vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the
storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to
be preserved for a long time.
Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage
compartment between 2 ~ 8 , and store the
foods that are intended for short-term storage, or
to be eaten at any time in the fresh food
compartment.
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up
first, and then pull it out; and when installing the
shelf, place it into position before putting it down.
(For the two-section shelf, push the first section to
the rear end, and then pull the second section out).
Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent
foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out
or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle
with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to
food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the
crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper,
so that the internal temperature of the crisper box
will not be affected.
Cautions for food storage
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry
before storing them inside the refrigerator.
Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is
advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water
evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables
on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the
other hand.
Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the
refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if
too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus
affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store
excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf
from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a
distance away from the inner wall; and do not place
the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall,
lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foodsFoods should be
stored by category, with the foods you eat every
day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door
open duration can be shortened and food
spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.
Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down
to the room temperature before putting it in the
refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food
compartment to thaw, using the low temperature
of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus
saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill
compartment, a statement to the effect that some
types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive
to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage
in this kind of compartment should be made.
Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -
18 , and it is advisable to store the food for long-
term preservation in the freezer compartment,
but the storage duration indicated on the food
packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that
needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block
size should be cut into small pieces and packed
into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly
distributed inside the freezer drawers.
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not put a glass container with liquid or the
canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer
compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume
expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
Divide the food into appropriately small
portions
You’d better pack the food up before freezing it,
and the packing bag used should be dry, in case
the packing bags are frozen together. Foods
should be packed or covered by such suitable
materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air
and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid
cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at
the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You
will be able to store each item of frozen food
for the period shown against the star rating.
This is usually the period stated as “Best to
use them before×”, found on the front of the
packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy the
frozen foods.
12
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in
perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your
shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst
shopping and on the journey home, as this
will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze
it straight away. Special insulated bags can
be bought from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. These keep the frozen
foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is
unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam
cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put
into a saucepan and heated gently until
thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as
possible. When foods are frozen in small
quantities, it will take less than for them to
freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen
up. When freezing large amounts of fresh
food, adjust the temperature control knob to
the low mode, with the freezer temperature
lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast
manner, with the food freshness well kept.
Tips for Water dispenser (if available)
The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which
makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have
access to cold water almost immediately. The
water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of
water which has to be filled out. To use water
dispenser follow the instructions below:
1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the
water dispenser fixed well.
2. Open the filler cover of the water tank,
slowly fill the water tank to prevent any spills
until the tank is filled. Then close the filler
cover of the water tank. See image C.
3. Once the water tank is full, set the
thermostat at the lowest mode or the Fast
Cool mode, and one hour later you can
dispense water for drinking. See image D.
4. When using the water dispenser, some water
may drip and accumulate at the bottom of the
water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth
when necessary.
5. The maximum fill must be lower than the tank
cover as indicated by the maximum fill line
NOTEDon't take away the cup until no waterdrop.
Tips for special needs
Moving the refrigerator/freezer
Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat
source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it
from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun
lounges.
Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using
the front leveling feet. If not level, the
refrigerator/freezer door gasket sealing
performance will be affected, or even it may lead
to the operating failure of your
refrigerator/freezer.
After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position,
wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the
refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your
appliance.
When you are out for a long time
If the appliance will not be used for several
months, turn it off first, and then unplug the
plug from the wall outlet.
Take out all foods.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
ajar: block it open or have the door removed if
necessary.
Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated
place and away from the heat source, place the
appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy
objects on top of it.
The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug
first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet
hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and
injury. Do not spill water directly on the
refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and
accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the
bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be
scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to
produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be
cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is
usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks,
cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them
with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water
or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel
and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean
water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush,
detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,
benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other
corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet
surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts,
etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the
groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with
cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four
corners of the door gasket first, and then embed
it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system
Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (such as interruption of power supply
or failure of the refrigerating system).
Try to open the refrigerator door as less as
possible, in this way can food safely and freshly
kept for hours even in hot summer.
If you get the power outage notice in advance
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode
an hour in advance; so that foods get fully
frozen (Do not store new food during this
time!). Restore the temperature mode to the
original setting when power supply becomes
normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight
container, and put it in the upper part of the
freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh
food to be stored.
Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you’d
better use it continuously; and under normal
circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to
affect the service life.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be
formed on the freezer compartment inner wall
(or evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in
thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape
the frost off using an ice scraper rather than the
metal or sharp hardware. Frosts need to be
cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the
normal use of drawers and normal access of
foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frosts in a timely manner. Follow the
following steps to remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains
power supply, open the refrigerator door,
and gently remove the frosts from the inner
wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the
thawing process, you are suggested to place
a bowl of hot water inside the
refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice
frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to
scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the
refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the
power supply.
Changing the lamp
The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for
lighting, which features low energy consumption
and long service life. In case of any abnormality,
please contact the after-sales personnel for
visiting service. The lamps can only be replaced
by the manufacturer, together with a part of the
appliance
Safety-check after maintenance
Is the power cord broken or damaged?
Is the power plug firmly inserted into the socket?
Is the power plug abnormally overheat?
Note: Electric shock and fire accident
may be caused in case the power cord and plugs
damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality,
please unplug the power plug and get in contact
with the vendor.
