4.3 Automatic exit
When preset super freeze period expiries, the super freeze mode will be inactivated automatically and previous mode will be entered (the mode prior to the super freeze mode).
4.4 Manual exit
Under super freeze mode, if super freeze setup button is pressed (effect when released), the super freeze mode will be inactivated and previous mode will be entered (the mode prior to the super freeze mode).
4.5 In the process of super freeze, when accumulative working period reaches 8 hours, defrost is activated and defrost time is to be added to super freeze period. The super freeze and automatic defrost modes are inactivated under their respective conditions of exit and do not affect each other.
4.6 If super freeze mode is activated while automatic defrost is in operation, the automatic defrost mode will continue until automatic defrost is inactivated and super freeze mode activated. After super freeze mode is entered, remaining time of defrost mode will be added into super freeze period.
4.7 Super freeze mode activated manually: verify the length of accumulative working period before super freeze mode is entered plus the period between super freeze mode is entered and manually inactivated, if the length is less then 8 hours, defrost mode is not activated.
4.8 After super freeze mode is entered, the freezer sensor will not control operating status of compressor and freezer fan motor, and the air outlet and refrigerator fan motor will be under the control of refrigerator sensor 1.
4.9 If error alarm sounds while super freeze mode is activated, priority will be given to alarm and then super freeze exit, and error protection mode will be entered.
Caution: Do not restart the refrigerator until a period of at least five minutes has elapsed.

Refrigerating storage compartment
Defrosting
The refrigerator is for short­term 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 is the coldest. Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties.
Eggs and butter Beverages and bottled food Canned food and seasonings Pickled food or canned pickled food Wheaten food, canned food, and bean
curd Cooked meat and sausages Fruit, vegetables and salad
Caution: Ensure that the door of the chiller compartment is closed before closing refrigerator door.
Automatic defrosting
This refrigerator is designed for automatic defrosting.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors.
Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent.
Caution: Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.
Dry water droplets on surfaces of the refrigerator with a piece of cloth.

Freezing storage precautions
Refrigerating 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.
DMY
DMY
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 in flavor.
Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
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.
Only remove the required amount of food from the freezer compartment. Defrosted food cannot be re-stored in the freezer unless it is first cooked.
Do not load excessive quantity of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Quantity of the food in storage shall comply with the cooling capacity of the refrigerator.
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.
Suggestions
Freezing storage compartment
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.
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.
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.
Ripe squash, melon, pawpaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will accelerate the ripening process.
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
Meat
Dumplings, ribs and ice-creams
Cakes, breads, sliced meat and cheese
Seafood, sausages and icecream
Storage period is subject to the detailed information on the food packing, property of the food for storage and special requirements.
