The refrigerator shall be placed on the flat and firm surface. If the ground is not flat, adjust the adjusting leg to keep it level.
Never place the refrigerator into a too cold environment that may get frozen.
Removing the foam base is beneficial for bottom heat dissipation and can avoid fire.
Warm prompt:
--When handling the refrigerator, at least two persons are required - one lifts the top of rear part, the other one handles the bottom (if one part is clamped, it is quite dangerous and may cause accident).
--When moving the refrigerator, the lower runner may damage and scratch the floor. If you need to move the refrigerator for a long distance, the internal accessories shall be fixed using adhesive tape. Otherwise, the accessories may get damaged due to crashing each other.
--Please place the refrigerator in a position with minimal vibration or little exposure to vibration. For users in areas where earthquakes often occur, please fix the refrigerator against a wall or pole. Otherwise, the falling of the refrigerator will cause accidents.
--Sufficient clearance shall be left around the refrigerator. If the clearance is too small, or if goods are placed on top or close to the sides, or pasted on the sides, the heat dissipation of the refrigerator will be affected, leading to unnecessary electric energy waste as well as damage to the wall and other goods. The contact between the back and the wall will cause vibration and noise.
--Adjust the front part and the adjusting legs of the refrigerator to level it. An unlevel refrigerator will cause vibration and noise.
Preparations prior to use
- Remove all packing assemblies such as case fixing tape, etc., especially the foam base.
- Use a warm wet cloth to clean both the interior and exterior of the refrigerator (neutral detergent can be added to warm water).
- After leveling and cleaning the refrigerator, let it stand for about 2 hours before plugging in the power plug to power it on, and cool the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before storing foods.
Operation keys
Temperature regulation

Temperature controller lighting combination panel -- The temperature inside the refrigerator decreases gradually when the temperature control knob is turned from 0 to 7; conversely, the temperature increases gradually.
--The user may set the temperature control knob at different gears based on the refrigerator service environment and specific situations of stored foods.
--The temperature inside the refrigerator will vary as the temperature control knob is placed at different gears, and meanwhile the power consumption will show some differences.
--Upon overall consideration of preservation effect and power consumption, the recommended regulated values are as follows:
4~6 gears in summer, 4 gears in spring and autumn, and 2~4 gears in winter.
Temperature controller lighting combination panel
Foods storage
Refrigerating chamber (2°C\~8°C)
--The refrigerating chamber is mainly used for storing short-term foods, like milk, eggs and bottled drink. --Vegetables, melons and fruits shall be put into the fruit and vegetable box to prevent water loss. --The cooked foods shall be put into the refrigerator after packaging with the preservative bags, to prevent the back from frosting and the power from increasing.
Freezing chamber (-22°C\~-15°C)
--The freezing chamber is used for the foods to be stored for long-term. --Fish and meat to be frozen shall be cut into small pieces, packaged with preservative bags separately and then put into the frozen drawer. --The glass container or the sealed container filled with liquid shall not be stored in the freezing chamber, to prevent the risk of burst due to freezing. --The fresh foods shall not be stored together with the frozen foods. --Do not place food close to inside wall in freezer lest food and wall should be frozen together.
Defrost
Defrost the refrigerating chamber
If thicker layer of frost is detected at the back of the refrigerating chamber and the refrigeration effect is affected, defrost the refrigerating chamber first. At defrosting, switch the temperature control knob to gear "0" and switch the knob to original state after the frost is gone.
Defrost the freezing chamber
If thicker layer of frost is detected on the evaporator of the freezing chamber, it is necessary to defrost. Pull out the plug and power off the refrigerator, take out the drawer in the freezing chamber and keep the refrigerator door under open state. After the frost is melting automatically, wipe off the water on the evaporator, the door gall and in the drawer with clean dry cloth, and then put the drawer back into the freezing chamber.
Note:
- Don't frost with metal tools, to avoid damaging the refrigerator.
- Don't frost the refrigerator with electric heater.
Self-induced temperature compensation
When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the product will automatically start the electric heating compensation function for ease of use.
Ice-making (if the appliance has it)
Fill the ice-making box with 4/5 water and put the box into the freezing chamber. After the water in the box turns into ice, twist the box slightly to separate the ice from the box. However, don't bend the box. When separating the ice, wrap the box with a dry cloth to avoid finger frostbite.

Non-failures
Phenomenon: Fever or hot on two sides and spacing part surface between refrigerating chamber and freezing chamber.
Cause: Refrigerator pipes (condenser, anti-fog pipes) are on two sides and front part of refrigerator for heat dissipation and to prevent condensation.
Phenomenon: The door is too tight and not easy to open
Cause: Reopening the door immediately after closing it is hard because hot air enters the refrigerator and contracts to produce pressure difference. It is easy to open the door after a while.
Phenomenon: There is water ripple in refrigerator
Cause: When starting or stopping the compressor, the refrigerant will make such sound; Water produced after defrosting will also make such sound.
Phenomenon: There is "Click" sound or tick sound in refrigerator
Cause: Shrinkage and swelling of 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 sound (if the refrigerator is not leveled, this sound will be louder)
Phenomenon: There is condensation or frosting freezing chamber door surface or food surface
Cause: Temperature or humidity around the refrigerator is high; The door is opened for too long time; The foods with too much water are not sealed or tightly wrapped
Phenomenon: There is condensation on the built-in light surface
Cause: Light will produce heat after being lit, and the door is opened for too long time. So there is temperature difference, and thus the light case will have condensation.
Phenomenon: There is condensation and water mist on body
Cause: Humidity around refrigerator is high, and the moisture in the air will gather in the case to form condensation.
