Starting

•Please clean inside the refrigerator before operation.

•When your refrigerator is first installed, allow 3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperatures prior to filling it with fresh or frozen food.

•Make sure that there is about 5-8 mm clearance above the temperature sensors in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment to.

Note: Do not put hot food near the temperature sensors, it may lead to high electric bills.

*When the power is off

Before the power is off:

•Store more ice cubes in the freezer compartment.

OPERATION

Water in food and air will frost on the inside wall and the surface of shelf evaporator when the refrigerator is operating in cooling mode. The frost with certain thickness will affect the cooling effect, so it is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensure efficient operation. Generally, the frost must be removed

immediately when it exceeds 5mm.	Drainage pipe

• Refrigerator Compartment Defrosting takes place automatically in the refrigerator through controlling the compressor on/off. The defrosted water on inside wall flows through the drainage hole above vegetable drawer to the evaporating tray which is located in the lower back side the refrigerator and is evaporated automatically.

Note:

-Keep the drainage hole clean so that the defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray smoothly. Once jammed, you can remove the pin in the drainage hole and clean it.

Then put it back.

•Miracle Zone When the temperature in the Miracle Zone is set lower than 0, it is normal that frost and ice appears around the cooling room; When the temperature is set higher than 0, the frost will gradually melt.

• Freezer compartment Manual defrost freezer

Before defrosting - unplug the power plug, open the door and take out the food and drawers in the freezer, you can store the food in the refrigerator temporarily.

Defrosting – Use the defrosting board to scrape off the frost on the inside wall of the freezer and on the surface of the shelf evaporator. Wipe the defrosted water with a cloth and then dry.

Defrosting board

After defrosting – turn on the power supply.

Ice making

1. Fill the ice tray with water and place it on the ice cube box. 2. To remove ice cubes, hold the knob of the tray and turn gently.

Then, ice cubes drop in the ice cube box.

To remove ice cubes easily, dunk the ice tray for a while.

BEST WAYS TO STORE FOOD

• Do not place food or vesse against the back wall of the refrigerator.

- It could freeze due to low temperature.

• Wash and wipe food before storing

-Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped prior to storage, and packed food such as bottled food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

Refrigerator

Compartment Shelf

• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.

-Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to high electric bills.

•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature for a long

period.

- For example, bananas, pineapple.

•When storing, wrap food, or place in a covered container.

-This prevents moisture from evaporating and odor passing on to other foods.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment.

-They may break when frozen.

-Liquor and water in the container should not exceed 80% of the cubage.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

• Before cleaning

-Unplug the power supply plug first to ensure safety.

When cleaning

• Compartment Shelves and Door Racks

-Regular cleaning of compartment shelves and door racks is recommended

• Exterior of Refrigerator

-Wipe with a cloth slightly moistened with detergent and then dry.

Regular cleaning is recommended

• Magnetic Door Seals

-Water stain and fruit juice accumulated on the door seals may decrease seal effect. So regular cleaning of the door especially the bottom is necessary.

Regular wiping is recommended

• Do not wash the refrigerator directly.

-Water may decrease the insulation effect and cause electricity leaking.

• After Cleaning

Please check the following items:

-Has the power cord been damaged?

-Has the power plug generated heat abnormally?

-Has the power plug been inserted correctly?

• Vegetable Drawer

-Vegetable compartment can be easily filled with water. If more water accumulated on the surface of vegetables, vegetables may be frozen. Regular cleaning of vegetable compartment is recommended.

• Do not use the following strong solvents for cleaning:

- Abstergent, petroleum, benzene, hydrochloric acid etc, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

NOT A PROBLEM

•Refrigerator surface condensation

-If the refrigerator is installed in a wet place or it operates in a rainy day, the outside wall of the refrigerator may occur condensation.

The reason is that the water in the air contacts the warm surface of the refrigerator. Please wipe the water with a soft and dry cloth.

•For a noise that sounds like water flowing

-You will hear this noise when the refrigerator stop operation.

-This is the sound of freon flowing inside the refrigerator.

-This is the sound of evaporating freon in evaporator.

-This sound is generated by the expansion/ contraction of the refrigerator accessories because internal temperature changes.

The sound of water flowing

Wipe with a soft cloth

The sound of refrigerant flowing

•Refrigerator surface warm up

-There are high temperature tubes and condenser tubes in the refrigerator to prevent condensation. This phenomenon will occur more frequently in initial power on or in summer. This is a normal phenomenon, you can operation it in safety.

•There is condensation on the inside wall of refrigerator compartment

-If you install the refrigerator in wet place, or door left open for a long time, or store food with much water, you will find condensed water on internal surface of the refrigerator.
