shelves, do not adjust the combination as
this is designed to be the most energy
efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

●Do not place hot food directly into the

refrigerator or freezer,the internal
temperature will increase resulting in the
compressor having to work harder and
will consume more energy.

●Do cover or wrap the food,particularly if

it has a strong flavor.

●Place food properly so that air can

circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

●Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene

food: wrap and place on the glass shelf

to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.

polyethylene food wraps which are
airtight.

●Do not allow fresh,unfrozen food to

touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of the latter.

●Iced products,if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer
compartment,will probably cause frost
burns to the skin.

each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.

Check that the air outlets are not blocked by food and
ensure food is placed within the appliance to allow
sufficient ventilation.Ensure that door is fully closed.To
remove the frost, please refer to the“Cleaning and care”
chapter.

You may have left the doors open too long or too
frequently; or the doors are kept open by some obstacle;
or the appliance is located with insufficient clearance at
the sides, back and top .

chapter.

Doors can’t be
closed easily

Water drips
on the floor

The light is not working

Check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back by
10-15mm to allow the doors to self close, or if something
inside is preventing the doors from closing.

The water pan (located at the rear bottom of the cabinet)
may not be properly leveled, or the draining spout under
neath the top of the compressor depot may not be properly
positioned to direct water into this pan, or the water spout is
blocked. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the
wall to check the pan and spout.

Check if the refrigerator is power-off for a long time, this may
cause the ice in the bucket to melt into water,and flow to the
floor .

●The LED light may be damaged.Refer to replace LED

lights in cleaning and care chapter.
