Food storage

Refrigerator (2°C\~8°C)

--The refrigerator is mainly used for storing short-term foods, like milk, eggs and bottled drinks.
--Vegetables, melons and fruits should be stored in the crisper to prevent water loss.
--Cooked foods should be put into the refrigerator after packaging in appropriate containers or bags.

Freezer (-22°C\~-15°C)

--Fish and meat to be frozen shall be cut into small pieces, packaged with appropriate freezer bags or containers separately.
--Glass containers or sealed containers filled with liquids must not be stored in the freezer to prevent the risk of bursting.
--Fresh foods should not be stored together with the frozen foods.
--Do not place food close to inside wall in freezer to prevent the freezing to the wall

★ ★ Warm tips:

Stored food, if any, must not block the air duct outlet and return port as this will affect the performance.

Never place hot foods or liquids in the refrigerator or freezer. Always wait until the foods or liquids cool to room temperature.

Disassembly and assembly method of accessory

--Glass shelf in the refrigerating chamber: the height of the shelf is adjustable, which facilitates the storage of articles with different volumes. Pull the shelf outwards and upwards in a slight way to take out.
--Fruit and vegetable box: for storing vegetables and fruits. It can be taken out by pulling outwards.
--Drawer in the freezing chamber: storing foods to be preserved for long-term, such as meat and fish. It can be taken out by pulling outwards and lifting upwards.

Kind tips: It is recommended that large pieces of meat are cut up into smaller pieces to make it easier to cut when frozen. Quick-freezing foods shall be distributed uniformly and stored together after being frozen.

--Refrigerating cabinet door holder: for storing eggs, different kinds of bottled drinks and other fragmentary items. When is disassembled, it can be gently squeezed from both sides to the middle and at the same time observe whether the buckles are removed and then slowly lift it out.

--Caution: do not pull out the refrigerating cabinet door holder forcibly when it is dismantled, so as not to damage the refrigerator

Failure analysis

The following items shall be inspected before occurring failures which require maintenance:

Failures: Refrigerator does not work, The refrigeration effect is poor

Causes:1. Check the connection of power supply. 2. Check whether the refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight or whether there is heat source nearby. 3. make sure the minimum recommended space is around the fridge and wall.

Failures: Foods in refrigerating chamber are frozen

Causes:1. Check whether the setting temperature is too low, you may need to increase. 2. Check whether foods with too much water are too close to the rear wall and move if required.

Failures: There are abnormal sounds in the refrigerator

Causes:1. Check whether the bottom of refrigerator is stable, re-level if required. 2. Check whether the refrigerator is too close to the wall and move if necessary. 3. Check whether the refrigerator touches other objects and remove any obstacles.

Failures: There is an abnormal odor in the refrigerator

Causes:1. Check whether the foods are sealed for storage. 2. Check whether the refrigerator is clean, and clean as described in this manual 3. Make sure food has not been stored for too long, and discard if required.

Non-failures

Phenomenon: The two sides of the refrigerator, and space between the fridge and freezer are warm

Cause: Refrigerator pipes (condenser, anti-fog pipes are on two sides and front part of refrigerator for heat dissipation and to prevent condensation, it is normal for these spaces to get warm

Phenomenon:The door is too tight and not easy to open

Cause: Reopening of the door immediately after closing it is hard because hot air enters the refrigerator and contracts to produce a pressure difference. It will be easy to open the door after a short while.

Phenomenon: There is water ripple noise in refrigerator

Cause: When starting or stopping the compressor, the refrigerant will make such a sound; and; Water produced after defrosting will also make such sound.

Phenomenon: There is "Click" sound or tick sound in refrigerator

Cause: Shrinkage and swelling of the case will make such sound; When the case is cold or the door is opened, this sound will occur;

Phenomenon: There is hum sound in refrigerator

Cause: Running of compressor will make such a sound (if the refrigerator is not leveled, this sound will be louder

Phenomenon: There is condensation or frosting on the freezer door surface or food surfaces

Cause: Temperature or humidity around the refrigerator is high; The door is opened for too long; Food with too much water are not sealed or tightly wrapped.

Phenomenon: There is condensation on the light covers

Cause: Light will produce heat after being lit, if the door is opened for a long time. So there is temperature difference, and thus the light cover will have condensation.

Phenomenon: There is condensation and water mist on the refrigerator body

Cause: Humidity around refrigerator is high, and the moisture in the air will gather on the cabinet to form condensation.
