Refrigerating storage compartment
The refrigerator is for  short-term food storage of  daily consumption.
Although the temperature in most  areas in  the refrigeration compartment can  be   regulated between 0 C and 10 C,  extended periods of food storage is  not  recommended. Refrigerator should  only be used for short-term storage.
Storage areas
As cold air circulates inside the  refrigerator, temperature  differences exist inside the storage  compartments. Area ⑥ is the coldest.  Different foods should be placed in  different areas according to their  properties.
① Eggs and butter ② Beverages and bottled food  ③ Canned food and seasonings ④ Pickled food or canned pickled 
food ⑤ Wheaten food, canned food, and 
bean curd ⑥ Vegetable ⑦ Fruit, vegetables and salad
Lamp and its replacement
Lamp: 220-240V, 15W Lamp holder: E14 (lamps exceeding 15W 
must not be used) When replacing the lamp , 1. Unplug to disconnect the power 2. Remove the food shelf in front of 
the lamp.
3. Insert a flat tool into the slot, 
push upward to remove the lampshade.
4. Remove the lamp by turning anti-
clockwise and install a new lamp by  turning it clockwise.
5. Properly install the lampshade 
after ensuring that all lugs on the  cover are placed into the holes on  the lamp holder.

Refrigerating storage precautions
Hot food must be cooled to room  temperature before storing in the  refrigerator.
Food to be stored should be  properly sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the  food from evaporating and prevent  vegetables and fruit from tainting 
Dry any water droplets on the  food before placing it in the 
Storage of sorted food
Food to be stored should be sorted  according to consumer requirements.  Food consumed daily should be  placed in the most convenient area,  this will minimize opening periods  for the door.
Do not store excess quantities or  weights of food
Food should be stored with spaces  in between for better storage  results. Never overload shelves, as  they may collapse under excessive  loads.
Do not place food too close to  the internal walls
Food with high moisture content  should not be placed close to the  walls of the inner liner. Maintain  a space to prevent food from  freezing onto the walls.
10
Page 13
Suggestions
Storage period will be extended  if vegetables are placed with  their roots towards the cold  source.
Eggs should be stored vertically  in the egg holder.
Leaves of carrots or turnips  should be removed before storage.
Frozen food can be placed in the  cold compartment before serving,  as this will conserve energy. 
Onions, garlic, ginger, water  chestnuts and other root  vegetables should not be stored  in the refrigerator, as these  foods are suitable for long-term  storage at normal temperatures.
11
Ripe squash, melon, pawpaw,  bananas and pineapples should not  be stored in the refrigerator.  Freezing will accelerate the  ripening process. 
Page 14
Freezing storage compartment
Long-term storage of food
As the freezer storage temperature is very  low, fresh food can be stored in the freezer  compartment for a long time. Food requiring  long-term storage can be stored in the frozen  food compartment. Follow the instructions on  the package for storage period. 
Attention should be paid to the storage  information printed on the food packing.
Suggested storage period is as follows:
Food Chicken, beef Dumplings, ribs and ice-creams Cakes, breads Icecream
Storage period is subject to the detailed information on the food  packing, property of the food for storage and special requirements.

Freezing storage precautions
Hot food should not be stored in  the refrigerator until it has  cooled down to room temperature.
The outside of any food packing  should be dried before storage in  the freezer, and any packing  materials should be odor-free,  airtight, non-poisonous and  nontoxic.
Food cut into small portions will  freeze faster and be easier to  defrost and cook. The recommended  weight for each portion is less  than 2.5kg.
Food should be stored in  accordance with any information  printed on the packing.

Vacation
Power interruption
Even in summer, food can be stored in  the refrigerator for a few hours  after a power interruption.
Don't put additional food into  the refrigerator during a power  interruption and try to open the  door as less frequently as  possible.
If prior notice of a power  interruption is given, make some  ice and put it in a container in  the top of the refrigeration 
Caution: Temperature in the refrigerator will rise as for a  power interruption or technical problem, and the storage  period will be reduced.
Ceased operation
If the refrigerator is to be  ceased for an extended period,  unplug the refrigerator and clean  the refrigerator as previously  described.
Keep the door of refrigerator open  when the power is turned off to  prevent any food remaining in the  compartment from producing bad  odors.
Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator be not  turned off unless it is necessary.
Caution: Do not restart the refrigerator until a period of  at least five minutes has elapsed.

Vacation
Before leaving for a  vacation
Remove the vulnerable food from  refrigerator if the vacation is  short and properly set the  control panel, and make sure that  the door of the refrigerator is  properly closed.
If the vacation is long, take out  the food from the refrigerator and  disconnect the power. Wait until  the frost inside melts, clean and  dry the compartment. Leave the  door open to prevent formation of  bad odor.
Moving the refrigerator
Unplug the refrigerator. Remove all the food. Secure the shelves in the cold 
storage compartment, vegetable  and fruit tray and drawers in the  freezer with tape.
Tightly close and tape the door of  the refrigerator.
Do not tilt the refrigerator more  than 45 degrees.
Caution: Never place the refrigerator horizontally.

Temperature of the refrigerator  and the compressor will rise and  the compressor will run for  comparatively longer periods  when the refrigerator is first  started.
The compressor will operate for  comparatively longer periods  if excessive quantity of food  is stored or the ambient  temperature is high.
Water droplets may occur on outer  surfaces and middle connection of  the refrigerator due to heavy  moisture in room air. Wipe clean  with soft cloth.
The two sides of the external  surface, bottom and the middle  connection of the refrigerator  will be warm due to heat  radiation of the appliance.

Troubleshooting
Energy efficiency specified in the technical parameters complies  with government standards and is measured under the following  conditions: ambient temperature 25℃, refrigerator compartment  temperature 5℃, freezer compartment temperature -18℃ and 24h  continuous operation with doors closed. Actual power consumption may  exceed this value if more food in storage, ambient temperature higher  and the door more frequently opened. 
Excessive vibration will result  in the following circumstances: a)The refrigerator is not well  positioned and adjusted. b)The refrigerator is placed on a  wood   floor or near to wooden furniture.
