Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.)

4.2 Defrosting

4.3 Out of operation

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^ .

5. Trouble shooting

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If they cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department.

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
Smell	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
Doors cannot be properly closed	The door is stuck by food packages The refrigerator is tilted
Loud noise	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 and storage of too much food, it is recommended to 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.
