*Disconnection of power supply (plug, socket and fuse);

*Voltage is low.

*The bulb is bad;

*Power supply is connected.

*Contact between the refrigerator and a wall or other article;

*Uneven placement.

*The thermostat is not properly set.

*The door is not properly closed; or the door is opened for long

period.

*The refrigerator is in direct sunlight, or close to a heat source;

*The area is poorly ventilated, or the two sides of the refrigerator

are blocked or badly contaminated.

*Failure to seal food properly;

*Rotting food inside refrigerator;

*Failure of regular cleaning of the refrigerator.

*Initial operation

*Large quantity of food loaded

*Hot weather

*Frequent opening of the refrigerator door

*Not properly closed door

*Improper setting of the thermostat (see the section of

"Operation")

*Thermostat not properly set (see section "Operation")

*Door is not closed.

*Frequent opening of the refrigerator door

*Hot weather

*Excessive moisture

*High ambient temperature or heavy moisture. Wipe clean with

a soft cloth.

*Thermostat is set too high.

*Water outlet is blocked. Clean the outlet with the cleaning rod.

Following circumstances are not problems:

*A slight continuous sound will be heard when the liquid refrigerant circulates.

*Excessive vibration will be resulted 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.

*Electricity consumption specified in the technical parameters is the standard issued by

state authorities. This is determined under the following operating conditions for the

refrigerator: ambient temperature: 25 degrees Centigrade; temperature in the cold storage

compartment: 5 degrees Centigrade; Door: closed; continuous operation: 24 hours.

*When the ambient temperature and humidity are high (exceeding 32 degrees Centigrade

and 75%, respectively), a thick layer of ice will form on the back wall of the cold storage

compartment. In such circumstances, it is recommended that automatic mode is selected,

food with a high moisture content is sealed before storage, any food in the compartment

is loosely packed and the door is not opened unnecessarily.

*Liquid refrigerant in the refrigerator will make a sound similar to that of flowing water.

*In winters, it is necessary to keep the refrigeration temperature to 0 not above 0 and

below 10.

Following circumstances are not problems:

*A slight sound might be produced by the evaporator and the pipes due to temperature

changes.

*The compressor will operate for comparatively longer periods if excessive quantity of

food is stored or the ambient temperature is high.

*A slight sound might be produced by the thermostat, start capacitor or heat protector

when the appliance is first started.

*Wipe with soft cloth the water drops, which might appear on the external surface and the

middle connection of the appliance.

*The two sides of the external surface and the middle connection of the appliance will be

warm due to heat radiation of the appliance.

*A slight sound may be heard when the appliance is first started due to the operation of the

compressor and motor. The sound will be lower and lower gradually a short period later.

*The temperature of the refrigerator and the compressor will rise and the compressor will

run for comparatively longer periods when the refrigerator is first started.

Caution:never place the refrigerator horizontally.

Moving the refrigerator

*Unplug the refrigerator.

*Remove all the food.

*Secure the shelves and the fresh food container with

the tape.

*Tightly close and tape the door of the refrigerator.

*Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45 degrees, thus

problems may be resulted to the cooling system.

During Vacations

*Remove the food from refrigerator if the vacation is short.

Turn the temperature selection knob to the proper position,

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.

Power failure

Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrig-

erator for a few hours after a power failure.

*Don't put additional food into the refrigerator during a

power failure.

*If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some

ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage

compartment.

Caution:Temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the

event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.

Operation cessation

*If the power failure lasts 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 is not turned off.

Caution:The refrigerator should never be restarted until a period of at least five

minutes has elapsed.

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 soft towel or sponge wet with warm

water. (mild detergent)

Caution: Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other

solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.

Caution:Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator. Use

a dry cloth to clean the switch and the lamp.

*Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

*Always keep the door gasket clean.

* Dry water drop on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft

cloth.

Defrosting the refrigerator

The refrigerator is designed for automatic defrost-

ing. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and

flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container

over the compressor on the back of the refrigera-

tor, where the heat generated by the compressor

will evaporate the water. It is normal for frost and

water droplets to form on the back wall of the

freezer.

Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure

the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the pin provided to clear any blockages.

Defrosting the freezer

* * Manual defrosting is required for the freezer. After

a period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the

evaporator in the freezer compartment. Additional

electricity will be consumed if this layer becomes too

thick.

* The defrosting process must be carried out when a

thick layer of frost has been formed on the evapora-

tor.

* Disconnect the power. Remove all the food and then

the drawers from the refrigerator before defrosting. A

bowl of hot water can be placed on the evaporator to

accelerate the defrosting process.

Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting.
