Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool down to room temperature before placing it in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freezes too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bins should not be lined with tin foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible

Cleaning of door tray

• According to the direction arrow in the figure below, use both hands to squeeze the tray, and push it upward, then you can take it out.
• After washing the tray having been taken out, you can adjust its installing height in accordance with your requirement.

How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)

Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers before being refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers before being refrigerated.

Placement of Foods

Shelves	Shelves are adjustable to accommodate a variety of packages.
Specialized compartment (applicable models only)	Sealed risper drawers provide an optimal storage environment for fruit and vegetables. Vegetables require higher humidity while fruit requires lower humidity Crispers are equipped with control devices to control the humidity level. (*Depending on model and options) An adjustable temperature meat drawer maximizes the storage time of meats and cheeses.
Stored on the door	Don't store perishable foods in the door. Eggs should be stored in the carton on a shelf. The temperature of the storage bins in the door fluctuate more than the temperature in the cabinet. Keep the door closed as much as possible.
Freezer Compartment	You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

Freezer fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

Troubleshooting

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not solved.

Problem	Solution
Failed operation	Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact.
	Check whether the voltage is too low.
	Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped.
Odor	Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
	Check whether there is any rotten food.
	Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Long-time operation of the compressor	Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer.
	When the ambient temperature is high It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time.
	Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance.
	The doors are opened too frequently.
Light fails to get lit Side panels are hot.	Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.
	Have the light replaced by a specialist.
Door can not be properly closed	The door is stuck by food packages. Too much food is placed.
	The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noises	Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably.
	Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.
Door seal fails to be tight	Remove foreign matters on the door seal.
	Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).
Water pan overflows	There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.
	The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.
Hot housing	Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal.
	When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation	Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise	Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal. Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.
