This product is provided with the super freezing function to
enable fast freezing of fresh food. By pressing the Super Key 2,
The Super Freezing Indicator 7 will be on and the refrigerating
system in the freezer compartment will operate continuously to
freeze the food quickly to the temperature required for retaining
freshness.
If a large amount of food is to be frozen at one time, the super
freezing function should be started in advance to let the freezer
compartment temperature fall to a low temperature value before
putting the food into the freezer. After the food is frozen, the
super freezing function will automatically turn off.
5140008691.english2003.12.31, 9:10 PM15
15
Operation
Super freezing is provided with "smart" functions, which will auto-
matically select the super freezing time according to the amount of
food being put in. The maximum super freezing time will not exceed
26 hours. If you forget to put food into the freezer compartment, the
super freezing function will automatically turn off after 12 hours.
If it is desired to exit from the super freezing mode before it termi-
nates automatically, just press Super Key 2 again and the super freezing indicator 7 will go off.
Do not put the fresh food that is to be frozen directly onto the
frozen food.
The cooler compartment will maintain its set temperature in the
super cooling state.

Storage period of frozen food
On the front of the freezer compartment drawer, there are
printed icons of different types of food and the
recommended frozen storage (in month) time. Storage
periods must be taken into consideration when freezing
foods.
For frozen food preserved at stores, the storage time
should be shortened according to the production date and
shelf life on the package.
Thawing frozen food
Put frozen food under room temperature or in the cooler
compartment, or have it thawed on an electric oven or in a
microwave oven.
The following should be noted when you need to re-freeze
food just thawed.
The food should not be left thawed for too long.
It is better to boil, fry, roast or thoroughly cook the food,
and place it in a container before freezing.

Cleaning and maintenance
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment and bio-preservation
compartment
Defrosting is performed automatically for the refrigerator
compartment , and dew water will go into the drain at the
lower back of the refrigerator and flow into dew water tube
also at the back of the refrigerator. The water is evaporated
by the heat from the compressor.
Freezer compartment
Large accumulations of frost or ice, on the evaporator
adversely affects the efficiency of refrigeration and
increases energy consumption. Therefore, defrosting
should be performed when there is a thick frost layer on
the evaporator. The freezer compartment should be
defrosted at least once or twice a year as following:
The power supply plug of the refrigerator must be
unplugged before defrosting.
Usually, the best time to defrost is when the refrigerator
is completely empty, or nearly empty.
If there is still frozen food in the freezer compartment,
before defrosting, press the Super key 2 and wait for
about 4 hours. During this time, food will freeze harder
and it can be placed it safely in room temperature.
During defrosting, the objects in the freezer compartment
drawers should be taken out and placed in a cool place.
Open the freezer compartment door and complete the
defrosting as quickly as possible (The longer the food is at
room temperature, the shorter its self-life storage).
Make a thorough cleaning of the freezer compartment
after defrosting.

Precautions for cleaning the refrigerator
The power supply plug must be unplugged before
cleaning.
Ensure that no water enters the light equipment during
cleaning.
Wash with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a mild
detergent. Dry with a clean and soft cloth.
The “drain trough and outlet hole” at the lower part of
the refrigerator compartment and bio-fresh compartment
should be cleaned frequently to ensure that thawing
water can flow out.
Cleaning agents containing abrasives (such as comet),
acids or chemical solvents (such as alcohol), or polishing
agents must not be used.
The refrigerator should be placed in a dry and
well-ventilated location. It should not be close to a heat
source or exposed to direct sunlight.
20
Hot food should be allowed to cool to the room
temperature before being put into the refrigerator.
Ice accumulated in the freezer compartment should be
removed, as thick ice layer will weaken the heat exchange
and result in more energy consumption.
Let frozen food thaw in the cooler compartment so that it
can assist in cooling the cooler compartment.
The cooler door should not be opened unnecessarily.
For better freshness preservation and energy saving, it is
recommended to set the cooler compartment temperature
at 5°C and the freezer compartment temperature at -18°C
under normal ambient temperature. The set temperature
should not be frequently adjusted.
Make sure that the temperature sensors in both cooler and
freezer compartments are not covered by or in contact with
any object and there shall preferably be a distance of 5~8cm.
5140008691.english2003.12.31, 9:10 PM20
Cleaning and maintenance
Other precautions
During power failure
Reduce the door opening frequency and avoid placing new
food into the refrigerator (to prevent accelerated tempera-
ture rise inside).
If the power outage is forecasted, the Super cooling switch
can be turned on in advance (by pressing the Super Key) to
further lower the internal temperature or more ice cubes
can be made and placed at the upper part of the cooler
compartment.
Shutting down the refrigerator
When you need to shut down the refrigerator, you can
unplug the power supply plug directly.
If you decide to stop the refrigerator's operation for a
period of time, proceed as follows: turn off the power, make
defrosting and cleaning, and finally keep the doors slightly
open to prevent unpleasant smell from being produced.
The refrigerator should not be shut down under normal
circumstances, as this may affect its service life.

Common problems, simple causes and solutions
Common problems
Dew water on external surface of refrigerator
This may occur when the humidity in the atmosphere is high.
Just wipe it dry.
Frost on the back in the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerating piping for the refrigerator compartment is close
to the back of the refrigerator compartment container and the
temperature here will fall below 0°C. As a result, frosting will
form when it is in running. The frost will thaw when the
refrigerating system for the refrigerator compartment stops
operation.
Warming of the door frame peripheral of freezer
compartment
This is a special provision to prevent frosting or condensation
around the freezer compartment door.
Warming of left and right side panels
The condenser is close to the inside of the side panels. The
refrigerator will dissipate heat via the condenser during
operation. The side panel temperature can be about 50°C in
summer when the ambient temperature is high.
Hot compressor
The housing temperature of the compressor can be about 80°C
when the refrigerator is in running.
Water flowing noise in the refrigerator
This is the noise of the refrigerant flowing in the piping when
the refrigerating system is in running.
Cracking noise in the refrigerator
This is resulting from the expansion and contraction of the
innerliner and refrigerating piping when the refrigerator is
running.
The compressor will not start when the voltage is too low
A power stabilizer of, or above, 500W should be provided.
Humming vibrating noise
A slight humming noise can be heard when the refrigerator is
running. If the refrigerator is not level, vibrations and other noise
may occur. Follow the instructions on Page 6 to level the
refrigerator.
Long time operation
During the summer, when ambient temperatures is high, the
compressor will start more frequently and run longer time than
normal.
Power consumption is higher than the indicated value
level
The rated power consumption given in the Technical
Specification is the value measured according to the national
standard, i.e., the refrigerator is operating steadily for 24h in an
ambient temperature of 25°C with the refrigerator compartment
temperature controlled at 5°C and the freezer compartment
temperature controlled at -18°C and the door kept closed. When
a lot food is cooling, the ambient temperatures is high, or the
door is opened frequently, it is normal that the actual power
consumption will be higher than the indicated value.
