Energy saving tips
Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated (see INSTALLATION).
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., stoves, heaters).
Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance. The energy consumption increases the lower the temperature in the appliance is set.
Functions like POWER-FREEZE consume more energy.
Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
Open the appliance door as little and as briefly as possible.
Do not overfill the appliance to avoid obstructing the air flow.
Avoid air within the food packaging.
Keep door seals clean so that the door always closes correctly.
Defrost frozen food in the fridge storage compartment.
The most energy-saving configuration requires the appliance to keep drawers, food box, and shelves in factory-fresh condition, and food should be placed as far as possible without blocking the air outlet of the duct.
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance when only little or no food is stored.
The appliance should be cleaned every four weeks for good maintenance and to prevent bad stored food odors.
WARNING!
Do not clean the appliance with hard brushes, wire brushes, detergent powder, petrol, amyl acetate, acetone and similar organic solutions, acid or alkaline solutions. Please clean with special refrigerator detergent to avoid damage.
Do not spray or flush the appliance during cleaning.
Do not use water spray or steam to clean the appliance.
Do not clean the cold glass shelves with hot water. Sudden temperature change may cause the glass to break.
Do not touch the inside surface of the freezer storage compartment, especially with wet hands, as your hands may freeze onto the surface.
In case of heating, check the condition of frozen goods.
Always keep the door gasket clean.
Clean the inside and housing of the appliance with a sponge dampened in warm water and neutral detergent.
1. Please scrub the interior and exterior of the refrigerator, including door sealing, door rack, glass shelves, boxes and so on, with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water (you may add neutral detergent into the warm water).
2. If there is liquid spilled, remove all the contaminated parts, directly rinse with the flow water, dry and place it back into the fridge.
- If there is spilled cream (such as the cream, melting ice cream), please remove all the contaminated parts, put into the warm water with about 40 °C for some time, then rinse with the flow water, dry and place it back into the fridge.
- If a small part or component gets stuck inside the fridge (between shelves or drawers), use a small soft brush to release it. If you cannot reach the part, please contact Haier service.
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not clean any of the parts of the appliance in a dishwasher.
Allow at least 7 minutes before restarting the appliance, as frequent starting may damage the compressor.
Defrosting
The defrosting of the refrigerator and the freezer compartment is done automatically; no manual operation is needed.

Power interruption
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 5 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:
▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.
▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption. If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator compartment. An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption. As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.
Memory function during power interruption
After restoration of power, the appliance continues with the settings that were set before the power failure.
Unpacking
WARNING!
The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons. - Keep all packaging materials out of children's reach and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
▶ Take the appliance out of the packaging. ▶ Remove all packaging materials.
Environmental conditions
The room temperature should always be between 10°C and 43°C, since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.
