ATTENTION Precautions before operation: Before making changes the refrigerator must be disconnected from power. precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury. Changing the light

• Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person.

• This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class (F). ATTENTION After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.12

Temperature setting of refrigerator compartment

• Once initially powered on, all LED lights turn on for 3 seconds, and then the refrigerator runs at the default setting (LED3 light is on).

• In case of a failure, the corresponding LED blinks.

• Each time the temperature setting button A is pressed once, the temperature setting changes one time. After the temperature setting has been completed, the refrigerator will run according to the set value after 15s. The shift regulation is:

• Long press temperature setting button for 3s, it will enter Super cool mode after 15s, and LED1 and LED2 turn on at the same time.

• After running for 6 hours at Super cool mode or the setting button is pressed or the temperature reach at 2°C, it will quit the Super cool mode, then go back to the previous setting. Standby mode

• Enter: Long press the temperature setting button for 10s to enter standby mode, all loads are turned off, and the display goes out.

• Exit: Long press the temperature setting button for 10s again to exit the standby mode.14

Tips on storing food Cooling 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 fi rst cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as 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 to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.

• Meat and clean fi sh (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 25 °C.15

The freezer shall be finally 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 toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior.17

Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance. Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open to prevent odor. Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°. CAUTION The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance shall not be nterrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired. Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening door.18

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 Possible reason 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

• 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 tiltedr. Loud noises

• Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably

• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations19

Problem Possible reason 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.20

• The OK-temperature indicator can be used to determine temperatures below +4°C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate "OK".

• To ensure the temperature in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. Inforced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous. Temperature indicator setting

• To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.

• WARNING: This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use. Checking the temperature in the coldest zone

• With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.

• When the indicator shows " OK ", this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the internal temperature correct.

• If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator. When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
