The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming

insulation material (cyclopentane) that is

environmentally friendly are used for the

refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone layer

and having a very small impact on the global

warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed in a

refrigeration system, without leakage during

normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due

to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to

keep the appliance away from open flames and

open the windows for ventilation as quickly as

possible.

Details are in accordance with the material item.

Preparations for use

Installationlocation

1. Ventilation condition

The position you select for the refrigerator

installation should be well-ventilated and has less

hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat

source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from

direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration

effect while saving energy consumption. Do not

locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to

prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking

electricity. The result of the total space of the room

in which the refrigerator is installed being divided

by the refrigerant charge amount of the

refrigerator shall not be less than 8 g/M

3

.

Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the

refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.

2. Heat dissipation space

When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to

surroundings. Therefore, at least 300 mm of free

space should be spared at the top side, more than

100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at the

back side of the refrigerator.

3. Level ground

Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground

(floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to

vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is

placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw

mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates

should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so

as to prevent color change due to heat

dissipation.

Unobstructed ventilation shall be

maintained around the appliance or in an

embedded structure.

Preparations for use

1. Standing time

After the refrigerator is properly installed and well

cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make

sure to energize the refrigerator after more than 1

hour of standing, so as to ensure its normal

operation.

2. Cleaning

Confirm the accessory parts inside the refrigerator

and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.

3. Power-on

Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the

compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if

the temperature inside the freezer compartment

drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration

system is working normally.

4. Storage of food

After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the

internal temperature of the refrigerator will be

automatically controlled according to the user’s

temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully

cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours

to be fully cooled. In summer, when the

temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for

the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the

refrigerator door as less as possible before the

internal temperature cools down).

If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture

place, make sure to check whether the ground wire

and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration

noises are produced due to the refrigerator

contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by

12

air convection around the compressor, move the

refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the

refrigerator may cause jamming noise or image

chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone,

radio receiver, television set surrounding it, so try

to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible in

such case.

Functions

Temperature setting:

The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled

by the control panel mounted in the fridge compa

rtment.

The refrigerator temperature is set to be the lowe

st when at "2°C" and the highest when at "8°C". It

can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

1. Under the normal operating condition (in spring

and autumn), it is recommended to set the temp

erature at “5°C”.

2. In summer when the ambient temperature is hi

gh, it is recommended to set temperature at “5 -

6°C”, so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer te

mperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuou

s running time; and in winter when the ambient te

mperature is low, it is recommended to set tempe

rature at “4-

5°C” to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerat

or.

3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the

fridge temperature and the freezer temperature

can be reduced rapidly at the same time, so that

foods can be kept in fresh condition with their

nutrition not lost. The maximum running time of

the fast-cool function is 26 hours, after which, the

refrigerator will be restored to its previous mode

that is set before the fast-cool function is enabled.

Remark： The temperatures may vary with respe

ct to setting’s ones due to compressor cycles and

outside conditions.

Note: If the indicator light‘2’ or ‘5’ or ‘8’ gets

flickering, it indicates that the refrigerator

has broken down. Please contact the after-

sales personnel for on-site service as soon as

possible.

Precautions for use

⚫ The appliance might not operate consistently

(there is possibility of defrosting or

temperature becoming too warm in the frozen

food compartment) when sited for an

extended period of time below the cold limit

of the temperature range for which the

refrigerating appliance is designed

13

⚫ The information of climate type of the

appliance is provided on the rating plate.

⚫ The internal temperature could be affected by

such factors as the location of refrigerating

appliance, ambient temperature, and

frequency of door open, etc., and if

appropriate, a warning that setting of any

temperature control device might have to be

varied to allow for these factors should be

made.

⚫ Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the

freezer compartment or the low-temperature

compartment, and some products such as

water ices should not be consumed too cold.

Food storage location

Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator,

the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is

different, so different kinds of food should be

placed in different areas.

The fresh food compartment is suitable for the

storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the

cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that

need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The

crisper box is suitable for the preservation of

vegetables, fruits, etc.

The freezer compartment is suitable for the

storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to

be preserved for a long time.

It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the

fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -

18°C in the freezer compartment.

For most food categories, the longest storage time

in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder

temperatures. Since some particular products (as

fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with

colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them

in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not

present, maintain an average setting of the

thermostat.

For frozen food, refer to the storage time written

on the food packaging. This storage time is

achieved whenever the setting respects the

reference temperatures of the compartment (one-

star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)

Use of the fresh food compartment

Set the temperature of the fresh food storage

compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the

foods that are intended for short-term storage, or

to be eaten at any time in the fresh food

compartment.

Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first,

and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf,

place it into position before putting it down. (For

the two-section shelf, push the first section to the

rear end, and then pull the second section out).

Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent

foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out

or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle

with care to avoid damage.

Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to

food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the

crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper,

so that the internal temperature of the crisper box

will not be affected.

Cautions for food storage

You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry

before storing them inside the refrigerator.

Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is

advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water

evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables

on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the

other hand.

Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the

refrigerator. Keep enoughspace between foods; if too

close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting

the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or

overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being

crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance

away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-

rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they

get frozen on the inner wall.

Categorized storage of foods：Foods should be

stored by category, with the foods you eat every

day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door

open duration can be shortened and food

spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.

Energy-saving tips:Allow the hot food cool down to

the room temperature before putting it in the

refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food

compartment to thaw, using the low temperature

of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus

saving energy.

Storage of fruits and vegetables

In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill

compartment, a statement to the effect that some

types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to

cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in

this kind of compartment should be made.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment

The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃,

and it is advisable to store the food for long-term

preservation in the freezer compartment, but the

storage duration indicated on the food packaging

should be adhered to.

The freezer drawers are used to store food that

14

needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block

size should be cut into small pieces and packed

into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly

distributed inside the freezer drawers.

★ Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room

temperature before putting them in the freezer

compartment.

★Do not put a glass container with liquid or the

canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer

compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume

expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.

★Divide the food into appropriately small

portions

★You’d better pack the food up before freezing it,

and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the

packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be

packed or covered by such suitable materials as are

firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-

toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-

contamination and transfer of odor.

Tips for shopping the frozen foods

1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the

Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will

be able to store each item of frozen food for

the period shown against the star rating. This

is usually the period stated as “Best to use

them before×”, found on the front of the

packaging.

2. Check the temperature of the frozen food

cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen

foods.

3. Make sure the frozen food package is in

perfect condition.

4. Always buy frozen products last on your

shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.

5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst

shopping and on the journey home, as this

will help to keep the food cooler.

6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it

straight away. Special insulated bags can be

bought from most supermarkets and

hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods

cold longer.

7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is

unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be

added directly to boiling water or steam

cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put

into a saucepan and heated gently until

thawed.

8. Use quality food and handle it as little as

possible. When foods are frozen in small

quantities, it will take less than for them to

freeze up and thaw.

9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen

up. When freezing large amounts of fresh

food, adjust the temperature control knob to

the low mode, with the freezer temperature

lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast

manner, with the food freshness well kept.

Tips for Water dispenser (if available)

The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which

makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have

access to cold water almost immediately. The

water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of

water which has to be filled out. To use water

dispenser follow the instructions below:

1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the

water dispenser fixed well.

2. Open the filler cover of the water tank, slowly

fill the water tank to prevent any spills until

the tank is filled. Then close the filler cover of

the water tank. See image C.

3. Once the water tank is full, set the

thermostat at the lowest mode or the Fast

Cool mode, and one hour later you can

dispense water for drinking. See image D.

Please restore to the original temperature

setting after use.

4. When using the water dispenser, some water

may drip and accumulate at the bottom of the

water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth

when necessary.

5. The maximum fill must be lower than the tank

cover as indicated by the maximum fill line

Tips for special needs

Moving the refrigerator/freezer

•Location

Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat

source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from

direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.

•Leveling

Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using

the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/

freezer door gasket sealing performance will be

affected, or even it may lead to the operating

failure of your refrigerator/freezer.

After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position,

wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the

refrigerant to settle.

•Installation

Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your

appliance.

When you are out for a long time

• If the appliance will not be used for several

months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug

from the wall outlet.

• Take out all foods.

• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To

prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door

ajar: block it open or have the door removed if

necessary.

• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated

place and away from the heat source, place the

appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy

objects on top of it.

• The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first;

Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand,

because there is a risk of electric shock and injury.

Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to

avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do

not stretch your hands into the bottom of the

refrigerator, since you might be scratched by

sharp metal corners.

Internal cleaning and external cleaning

The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to

produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be

cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is

usually cleaned once a month.

Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover

board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft

towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral

detergent.

Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel

and side plates of the refrigerator often.

After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean

water, and then wipe it dry.

Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush,

detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,

benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other

corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet

surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts,

etc., so as to avoid damage.

Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the

groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with

cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four

corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it

segment by segment into the door groove.

Interruption of power supply or failure of the

refrigerating system

•Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an

extended non-running of the refrigerating

appliance (such as interruption of power supply

or failure of the refrigerating system).

•Try to open the refrigerator door as less as

possible, in this way can food safely and freshly

kept for hours even in hot summer.

•If you get the power outage notice in advance：

1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode

an hour in advance; so that foods get fully

frozen (Do not store new food during this

time!). Restore the temperature mode to the

original setting when power supply becomes

normal in a timely manner.

2) You can also make ice with a watertight

container, and put it in the upper part of the

freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food

to be stored.

Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you’d

better use it continuously; and under normal

circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to

affect the service life.

Defrosting

After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be

formed on the freezer compartment inner wall (or

evaporator) surface, which may affect the

refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness.

In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost

off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or

sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off

every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of

drawers and normal access of foods are affected

by frosting, make sure to remove the frosts in a

16

timely manner. Follow the following steps to

remove frosts:

1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains

power supply, open the refrigerator door,

and gently remove the frosts from the inner

wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the

thawing process, you are suggested to place a

bowl of hot water inside the

refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice

frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to

scrape them off and then take them out.

2. After defrosting, clean the

refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the

power supply.

Changing the lamp

The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for

lighting, which features low energy consumption

and long service life. In case of any abnormality,

please contact the after-sales personnel for

visiting service.The lamps can only be replaced by

the manufacturer,together with a part of the

appliance

Safety-check after maintenance

Is the power cord broken or damaged?

Is the power plug firmly inserted into the socket?

Is the power plug abnormally overheat?

Note: Electric shock and fire accident may

be caused in case the power cord and plugs

damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality,

please unplug the power plug and get in contact

with the vendor.
