Page 18
17
Tips For Energy Saving
•
Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other heat sources. If the ambient
temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer, resulting in
increased energy consumption.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the
appliance, and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
•
Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
•
The arrangement of drawers, shelves, and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of
energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the
appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy.
•
To obtain a larger storage space (e.g., for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle
drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last
if necessary.
•
An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use.
Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
•
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down
increases energy efficiency.
•
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the
energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases energy efficiency.
•
Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss. Opening the door briefly and
closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
•
The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly,
and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts
•
that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable
temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
Refrigerating compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest
parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent
need for defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at
room temperature and then be placed inside the refrigerator to ensure
adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator
because they could freeze and stick to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the
door of the refrigerator.
• Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the
refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated
for fresh fruit and vegetables.
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 77°F (25 °C).
Page 23

Defrosting
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has an automatic
defrosting function. Frost is formed due to a change in season or temperature, it can be
manually removed by disconnecting the appliance from the power supply or by wiping it
with a dry towel.
Cleaning of door tray
•
According to the direction arrow in the figure
to the right, use both hands to squeeze the
tray, and push it upward, then you can take it

the shelves have a backstop, you can raise the
shelve upward, then pull them towards you to
remove them.
•
Adjust or clean the shelves according to your
requirement.
Cleaning the vegetable drawer
Soft towels or sponges dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The
freezer should be cleaned with clean water and dry cloth. Open the door for natural drying before the power is
turned on. Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives such as toothpaste, organic
solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid, or alkaline items because they may
damage the refrigerator surface, and interior.
1.
Remove the contents of the drawer. Hold the
handle of the vegetable drawer and pull it out
completely until it stops.
2.
