1. Temperature adjustment can exit from the rapid cooling mode.

• Temperature control of freezing chamber

The freezing temperature is relatively low in "COLDER" position, while the freezing temperature is relatively high in "COLD" position, thus, "NORMAL" position is generally used.

When ambient temperature is high in summer, the temperature shall be in the range from "NORMAL" to "COLD". If the ambient temperature is above 35°C, then "COLD" position shall prevail.

When ambient temperature is low in winter, the temperature shall be in the range from "NORMAL" to "COLDER". If the ambient temperature is below 10°C, then "COLDER" position shall prevail.

4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

♦ Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf. Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool. To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped. ◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit. To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit. The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

5.3 Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

7.1 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 freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel. Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down.

8. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

For better energy saving we suggest:

Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.

Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of the compressor.

Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.

Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.

In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.

Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.

Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.

Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance
