Frequently Asked Questions - CITDLFR177 Cookology

What is the recommended temperature setting for the refrigerator and freezer?
For optimal food preservation, set the refrigerator thermostat to a medium setting, typically around 4°C (39°F). The freezer should be set to -18°C (0°F) or lower. Adjust based on ambient temperature and load.
Can I change the door opening direction?
Yes, the door is reversible. You can change the hinge side by following the instructions in the manual. This requires basic tools and careful handling to avoid damage.
Why is my refrigerator making unusual noises?
Refrigerators produce several normal sounds: a hum from the compressor, gurgling from refrigerant flow, and clicking when the thermostat cycles. However, if you hear loud rattling or constant knocking, check if the appliance is level or if internal parts are loose.
How often should I clean the condenser coils?
Clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. Dirty coils reduce efficiency and can cause compressor overheating.
What should I do if ice builds up in the freezer?
Excessive ice buildup can occur from frequent door openings, high humidity, or a faulty door seal. Perform a manual defrost by unplugging the appliance and leaving the freezer door open with towels to absorb water. Check the door gasket for leaks.
How long can food stay safe during a power outage?
A full refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours if the door remains closed. A full freezer can maintain temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if half full). Use a thermometer to check internal temperatures: discard perishable food if above 4°C (40°F) for over 2 hours.
Why is water pooling inside the refrigerator?
Water pooling is often due to a blocked defrost drain. Clear the drain using a pipe cleaner or warm water. Also ensure the refrigerator is level so water flows to the drain properly. Check the drain pan under the appliance for cracks.
What maintenance does the door seal require?
Periodically clean the door gasket with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Check for tears or deformities that may cause air leaks. A simple test: close the door on a piece of paper; if you can pull it out easily, the seal needs replacement.
How can I improve energy efficiency?
Place the refrigerator away from heat sources (oven, direct sunlight), ensure proper ventilation around the appliance (at least 10 cm from walls), set temperature to recommended levels, and avoid overfilling. Defrost the freezer regularly and clean condenser coils.
What clearance is needed around the refrigerator for proper ventilation?
Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space on the sides, back, and top of the refrigerator. This airflow is essential for the condenser to dissipate heat efficiently and prevent compressor damage.

natural_image Simple line drawing of a smiling refrigerator with a small electrical outlet (no text or symbols)
  • After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or a damage to the product.
  • Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
  • Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor due to successive starts.

2.6 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 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 circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
  • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

  • The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
  • Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
  • 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. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
  • 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 contaminants or bacterials 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 or contaminated food.

- Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.

- 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, which may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.

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

Gas Alcohol Protein

Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.

4.2 Defrostiing

- The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has 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.

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^ .

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

5 Trouble shooting

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

Failed operationCheck 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.
OdorOdorous foods shall be tightly wrapped. Check whether there is any rotten food. Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Long-time operation of the compressorLong operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high. It is not recommended 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 litCheck whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.
Doors cannot be properly closedThe door is stuck by food packages. The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noiseCheck 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 tightRemove 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 overflowsThere 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 housingHeat 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 condensationCondensation 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 noiseBuzz: 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.
