Preparations for use
Installationlocation
1. Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator
installation should be well-ventilated and has less
hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat
source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from
direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the
refrigeration effect while saving energy
consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in
the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator
from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of
the total space of the room in which the
refrigerator is installed being divided by the
refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator
shall not be less than 8 g/M3.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the
refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to
surroundings. Therefore, at least 300 mm of free
space should be spared at the top side, more
than 100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at
the back side of the refrigerator.
3. Level ground
Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground
(floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to
vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is
placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw
mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates
should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so
as to prevent color change due to heat
dissipation.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be
maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the refrigerator is properly installed and
well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately.
Make sure to energize the refrigerator after more
than 1 hour of standing, so as to ensure its
normal operation.
2. Cleaning
Confirm the accessory parts inside the
refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the
compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door,
if the temperature inside the freezer
compartment drops obviously, it indicates the
refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time,
the internal temperature of the refrigerator will
be automatically controlled according to the
user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator
is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need
2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when
the temperature is high, it takes more than 4
hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to
open the refrigerator door as less as possible
before the internal temperature cools down).
If the refrigerator is installed in the
moisture place, make sure to check whether the
ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are
normal. If vibration noises are produced due to
the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall
gets blackened by air convection around the
compressor, move the refrigerator away from
the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause
jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile
phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver,
television set surrounding it, so try to keep the
refrigerator as far away as possible in such case.
Functions
Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled
by the control panel mounted in the fridge comp
artment.
The refrigerator temperature is set to be the low
est when at "2°C" and the highest when at "8°C".
It can be adjusted according to the user's needs.
1. Under the normal operating condition (in sprin
g and autumn), it is recommended to set the tem
perature at “5°C”.
2. In summer when the ambient temperature is h
igh, it is recommended to set temperature at “5
-6°C”, so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer te
mperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuo
us running time; and in winter when the ambient
temperature is low, it is recommended to set te
mperature at “4-5°C” to avoid frequent start/sto
p of the refrigerator.
3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the
fridge temperature and the freezer temperature
can be reduced rapidly at the same time, so that
foods can be kept in fresh condition with their
nutrition not lost. The maximum running time of
the fast-cool function is 26 hours, after which,
the refrigerator will be restored to its previous
mode that is set before the fast-cool function is
enabled.
Remark： The temperatures may vary with respe
ct to setting’s ones due to compressor cycles and
outside conditions.
Note: If the indicator light‘2’ or ‘5’ or ‘8’
gets flickering, it indicates that the
refrigerator has broken down. Please
contact the after-sales personnel for
on-site service as soon as possible.

Precautions for use
The appliance might not operate consistently
(there is possibility of defrosting or
temperature becoming too warm in the
frozen food compartment) when sited for an
extended period of time below the cold limit
of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed
The information of climate type of the
appliance is provided on the rating plate.
The internal temperature could be affected
by such factors as the location of
refrigerating appliance, ambient
temperature, and frequency of door open,
etc., and if appropriate, a warning that
setting of any temperature control device
might have to be varied to allow for these
factors should be made.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in
the freezer compartment or the
low-temperature compartment, and some
products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold.
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator,
the temperature of each area in the refrigerator
is different, so different kinds of food should be
placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the
storage of such foods as need not to be frozen,
the cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments
that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc.
The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of
vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the
storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods
to be preserved for a long time.
• It’s suggested to set the temperature
at 4°C in the fridge compartment and at -18°C in
the freezer compartment if it is possible.
• For most food categories, the longest
storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some
particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables)
may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is
suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers,
whenever present. If not present, maintain an
average setting of the thermostat.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage
time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects
the reference temperatures of the compartment
(one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage
compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the
foods that are intended for short-term storage,
or to be eaten at any time in the fresh food
compartment.
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up
first, and then pull it out; and when installing the
shelf, place it into position before putting it down.
(For the two-section shelf, push the first section
to the rear end, and then pull the second section
out). Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to
prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When
taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly,
and handle with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to
food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of
the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the
crisper, so that the internal temperature of the
crisper box will not be affected.
Cautions for food storage
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry
before storing them inside the refrigerator.
Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is
advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water
evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables
on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the
other hand.
Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the
refrigerator. Keep enoughspace between foods; if
too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus
affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store
excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf
from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a
distance away from the inner wall; and do not place
the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall,
lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods：Foods should be
stored by category, with the foods you eat every
day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door
open duration can be shortened and food
spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.
Energy-saving tips:Allow the hot food cool down
to the room temperature before putting it in the
refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food
compartment to thaw, using the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh
food, thus saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill
compartment, a statement to the effect that
some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are
sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable
for storage in this kind of compartment should be
made.
Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below
-18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for
long-term preservation in the freezer
compartment, but the storage duration indicated
on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that
needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block
size should be cut into small pieces and packed
into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly
distributed inside the freezer drawers.
★ Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the freezer
compartment.
★Do not put a glass container with liquid or the
canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer
compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume
expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
★Divide the food into appropriately small
portions
★You’d better pack the food up before freezing
it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in
case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods
should be packed or covered by such suitable
materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air
and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid
cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at
the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You
will be able to store each item of frozen food
for the period shown against the star rating.
This is usually the period stated as “Best to
use them before×”, found on the front of the
packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy the
frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in
perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your
shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst
shopping and on the journey home, as this
will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze
it straight away. Special insulated bags can
be bought from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. These keep the frozen
foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is
unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam
cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put
into a saucepan and heated gently until
thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as
possible. When foods are frozen in small
quantities, it will take less than for them to
freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen
up. When freezing large amounts of fresh
food, adjust the temperature control knob to
the low mode, with the freezer temperature
lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast
manner, with the food freshness well kept.
Tips for Water dispenser (if available)
The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which
makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have
access to cold water almost immediately. The
water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of
water which has to be filled out. To use water
dispenser follow the instructions below:
1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the
water dispenser fixed well.
2. Open the filler cover of the water tank,
slowly fill the water tank to prevent any
spills until the tank is filled. Then close the
filler cover of the water tank. See image C.
3. Once the water tank is full, set the
thermostat at the lowest mode or the Fast
Cool mode, and one hour later you can
dispense water for drinking. See image D.
Please restore to the original temperature
setting after use.
4. When using the water dispenser, some
water may drip and accumulate at the
bottom of the water dispenser. Please wipe
it with a cloth when necessary.
5. The maximum fill must be lower than the
tank cover as indicated by the maximum fill
line
NOTE ：Don't take away the cup until no
waterdrop.
Tips for special needs
Moving the refrigerator/freezer
•Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a
heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid
it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun
lounges.
•Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using
the front leveling feet. If not level, the
refrigerator/freezer door gasket sealing
performance will be affected, or even it may lead
to the operating failure of your
refrigerator/freezer.
After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position,
wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the
refrigerant to settle.
•Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your
appliance.

ajar: block it open or have the door removed if
necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated
place and away from the heat source, place the
appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy
objects on top of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child’s
play.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug
first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with
wet hand, because there is a risk of electric
shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on
the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity
leakage and accidents. Do not stretch your
hands into the bottom of the refrigerator, since
you might be scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to
produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be
cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is
usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks,
cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them
with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm
water or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel
and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with
clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush,
detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,
benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other
corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet
surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts,
etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the
groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with
cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four
corners of the door gasket first, and then embed
it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system
•Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (such as interruption of power supply
or failure of the refrigerating system).
•Try to open the refrigerator door as less as
possible, in this way can food safely and freshly
kept for hours even in hot summer.
•If you get the power outage notice in advance：
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high
mode an hour in advance; so that foods get
fully frozen (Do not store new food during
this time!). Restore the temperature mode
to the original setting when power supply
becomes normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight
container, and put it in the upper part of the
freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh
food to be stored.
Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you’d
better use it continuously; and under normal
circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to
affect the service life.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be
formed on the freezer compartment inner wall
(or evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness.
In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost
off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or
sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off
every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of
drawers and normal access of foods are affected
by frosting, make sure to remove the frosts in a
timely manner. Follow the following steps to
remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains
power supply, open the refrigerator door,
and gently remove the frosts from the inner
wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the
thawing process, you are suggested to place
a bowl of hot water inside the
refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice
frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to
scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the
refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the
power supply.
Changing the lamp
The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for
lighting, which features low energy consumption
and long service life. In case of any abnormality,
please contact the after-sales personnel for
visiting service.The lamps can only be replaced by
the manufacturer,together with a part of the
