Frequently Asked Questions - SC-128P Merax

What to do if the refrigerator does not work?

First check that there is no power outage. Make sure the power plug is properly inserted and that the fuse has not blown.

Why does the refrigerator cool excessively?

The temperature control dial may be set too high. If moist foods are placed directly under the cool air outlets, they may freeze. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Why does the refrigerator not cool sufficiently?

Check that the door is properly closed, the gaskets are not damaged, and the temperature dial is correctly set. Also ensure there is enough space around the appliance for ventilation.

How to defrost the freezer?

Remove the food and set the temperature knob to '0' (compressor stop). Leave the door open until the ice melts. To speed up, place a container of warm water (about 50 °C) inside the compartment. Turn the knob back to its original position after defrosting.

How to clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry. Do not use hot water, solvents or abrasive products. Clean the drip tray regularly.

What to do in case of refrigerant leak?

Evacuate all persons immediately, ventilate the room and contact the fire department. Do not use any open flames and do not let anyone enter until a qualified technician arrives.

Can I use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator?

No, unless they are appliances recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting.

How to change the bulb?

Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the light cover, unscrew the bulb and replace it with a bulb of the same size, shape and power (10 W or LED depending on model). Replace the light cover and plug back in.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

The cord must be replaced only by a repair agent authorized by the manufacturer, as special tools are required.

Why is there condensation on the outside of the refrigerator?

This happens in humid weather, like condensation on a glass of cold water. It is not a defect. Simply wipe with a dry cloth.

Power Supply

The refrigerator is only applied with power supply of single-phase alternating current of (220-240) V\~/50Hz; 230V\~/60Hz). If fluctuation of voltage in the district user is of so large that the voltage exceeds the above scope, for safety's sake, be sure to apply A.C. automatic voltage regulator to the refrigerator. The refrigerator must employ a special power socket instead of common one with other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground wire.

Power Cord

The cord should never be lengthened or folded or allowed to coil during operation. The cord should never be kept close to the compressor or at the back of the refrigerator as the surface temperature is always high when operating. Any contact of the cord with the compressor could damage the insulation or cause leakage.

7. Defrosting

◆ Water contained in food or getting into air inside the refrigerator by opening doors may form a layer of frost inside, it will weaken the refrigerator when the frost is thick, while it is more than 2mm thick, you should defrost.
◆ Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take the food, the ice tray and the shelf out into the cold storing chamber temporarily then set the knob of the temperature regulator to position"0"(where the compressor will stop working) and leave the door open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly deposited at the bottom drip tray of the freezer chamber. Take out the drip tray and discard the water carefully. In the case of speeding up the defrosting, you may put a bow of warm water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber, and be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to original position after defrosting.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to prevent deformation of the inner case.
◆ Avoid using sharp object to scrape the ice and frost as these may damage the inner casing on the surface of the evaporator.

8. Maintenance

◆ The refrigerator should be cleaned and maintained once a month.
When performing maintenance, make sure that the power plug is disconnected from the power outlet in first.
◆ Wipe the inner and outer surface of the refrigerator and its accessories with wet cloth. If they are too dirty, scrub them with neutral detergent, and then clean them with water and dry them with clean cloth. After this, a small quantity of glass wax is recommended to polish the refrigerator surface with a flannelette.
For cleaning, don't use hot water, diluent, petrol, alcohol, kerosene, washing powder, cleanser, laundry detergent, acid, chemical cloth, etc. So as not to damage the lacquer coat and plastics. It is forbidden to spay water to the refrigerator directly. Otherwise, it would cause rusty or weaken the insulation.
◆ Be careful to upkeep the sealing rubber bars of the doors. They should always be cleaned.
If the plastic parts in refrigerator remain contaminated for a long time by oil (animal or vegetable), they will be easily aged and possibly cracked. The drain pan gets dirty very easily if it is not cleaned regularly, bad odors will be produced, get into the habit of cleaning this pan regularly.
If the supply cord of this appliance is damage. It must only be replaced by a repair agent recommended by manufacture or store as special tools are required.

9. Troubleshooting

1. When the refrigerator does not work

Check if there is a power failure.

Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet.

Check that the fuse has not blown.

2. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively

The temperature control dial may be set too high.

If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily - This does not indicate a malfunction.

3. When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently

The door may not have been closed properly.

The door gaskets may be damaged.

The temperature control dial may not be set properly.

To allow proper ventilation make sure there is enough space between the refrigerator and the surface around the refrigerator as well as between the top of the refrigerator and the roof.

4. When the defrosting water overflows inside the refrigerator and onto the floor

Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not dogged.

Check that the drain pan is housed properly.

5. When condensation form on the outside of the refrigerator

Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season. This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

6. When you hear a sound like water flowing

A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing- It does not Indicate a malfunction.

7. When the cabinet's side panel heats up

The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit and when the unit operates in summer with high ambient outside temperature, In such case, do not touch the panel, it results from the dissipation of the heat from inside the cabinet, and it does not mean that something is wrong with the refrigerator.

10. DISPOSAL

WARNING!!!

Releasing refrigerant into atmosphere is strictly forbidden!

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being
