CHANGING THE LIGHT

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lights is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person.

STARTING YOUR FRIDGE

	Before connecting the refrigerator to the power supply, allow the refrigerator to settle into place for half an hour.Before placing any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator must have run for 2-3 hours or above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
	Leave enough space for the doors and drawers to easily open and around for proper airflow.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of 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.
• 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 towel. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce the frequency and length of door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

OVERALL CLEANING

• Dust behind and around the freezer should be cleaned regularly to improve the cooling effect and energy saving. The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Soft towels or sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The freezer should be cleaned with clean water and a dry cloth. Open the door for natural drying before the power is turned on.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean freezer considering that this may damage the freezer surface and interior.
• Do not rinse with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties.

CLEANING THE DOOR TRAY

• According to the direction arrow in the figure below, use right hand to squeeze the tray, push it upward, then you can take it out.
• After washing the tray having been taken out, you can adjust its installation height in accordance with your requirement.

The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.

DEFROSTING

- The freezer is made based on the air-cooling principle, which has an automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

OUT OF OPERATION

• Power failure: In case of power failure, even in the summer, food inside the appliance can be kept for several hours. During the power failure, the amount of times the door opens should be reduced and no more food should be put into the appliance.
• Long-time nonuse: The appliance should be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open to prevent odor.
• Moving: Before the freezer is moved, take all objects 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 should not be laid upside down, horizontally, or be vibrated. The inclination during movement should be no more than 45^ .

The appliance should run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance should not be interrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If you need further assistance, please contact customer service.

Issues	Cause/Suggestions
Failed operation	Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contactCheck whether the voltage is too lowCheck whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
Odor	Odorous food should be tightly wrappedCheck whether there is any rotten foodClean the inside of the freezer
Long-time operation of the compressor	Long operation of the freezer is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is highIt is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same timeFood should cool before being put into the applianceThe doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get lit	Check whether the freezer is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damagedHave the light replaced by a specialist
Doors cannot be properly closed	The door is stuck by food packagesToo much food is placedThe freezer is tilted
Loud noise	Check whether the floor is level and whether the freezer is placed stablyCheck whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Door seal fails to be tight	Remove foreign matters on the door sealHeat 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 defrostingThe 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 normalWhen housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation	Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer 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.
