Normally we advise you select setting of Normal, if you want the temperature warmer or colder please turn the knob to lower or higher setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to lower which can lead to the more energy efficiency. Otherwise, it would result the energy-consuming.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position Super) can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop!
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
Interior accessories
IMPORTANT! – in order to make the most of the volume of the fresh food storage compartment and frozen-food storage compartment, the user can removed one or more drawers, out of the appliance, according to your daily use.
Tips:
Food in the refrigerator should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging: Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps, Plastic containers with lids;
Special plastic covers with elastic, Aluminium foil.
Defrosting Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside the fridge be opening doors may form a layer pf frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.
Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment
Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, pull out the mains plug (where the compressor will stop working) ,then take the food out; take the ice tray and drawers out, and leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulation at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water with soft cloth. In the case of speeding up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50 ) into the freezer chamber, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to the original position.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case.
It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or separate food from the containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
Important!
The fridge should be defrosted at least every one month. During the using process, if the door was opened frequently or using the appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks. .
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
Remove all refrigerated packages.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and Care)
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odors.
