7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after-sale service department if the issues are not settled. Warm tips: The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation specially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon. Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel. Airflow sound: Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and grunts which is normal does not affect the cooling effect. Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down. Clatter: The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the operation. - 29 -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 bin should not be lined with aluminum 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.

8. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible. Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance). In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting. Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

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 to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
