3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

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

4. OPERATION

4.1 Adjusting the Temperature

When using the refrigerator-freezer for the first time or after defros rig,

turn the temperature control to set "MAX" for at least two hours before introducing the food to be stored. All frozen food products you purchase

should be placed in the freezer compartment as soon as possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.

In Winter or low temperature surrounded condition, please switch the temperature controller to large settings, like:MAX.

Storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturers should be always be followed.

Be careful that the drawer mustn't mangle the refrigeration pipeline.

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 a llow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.

◆ To prevent transfer of favours 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.

5. CLEANING

5.1 Defrosting

Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance which will automatically defrost during the cycle of the compressor.

Water is channelled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the compressor where it will evaporate.

Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment.

5.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

◆ Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower door shelf.
◆ Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a "wrung-out" sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and 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.
◆ Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
◆ The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
◆ Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris.
◆ Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove all food, shelves, drawers, etc.
◆ Clean the door gasket with mild soap and water.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean, and open the door and dry it naturally before the power is turned on.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator.
◆ Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a mild detergent and dry with a soft cloth.
◆ Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
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 refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
◆ Do not rinse with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties.

◆Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down.

8. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Try not to open the door too oen, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

Every now and then check if the appliance is suciently venlated (adequate air circulaon behind the appliance).

In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle seng.

Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.

Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

◆ The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heang ducts, and out of the 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 toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulaon, making the appliance less ecient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one me, and close the door as soon as possible.
