The refrigerant and cyclopentane foam used in the refrigerator are flammable materials. Therefore, when the refrigerator is discarded for recycling, it should be isolated from fire sources and recycled by a specialized recycling company instead of being burned, so as not to cause environmental damage or any other harm.
When the refrigerator is being disposed of for recycling, detach the doors and remove the door and drawer seals. Place the doors and drawers in the appropriate position to prevent a child from becoming trapped.
The symbol next to it indicates that this product should not be disposed of with household waste. To prevent possible environmental damage, recycling should be used for the reuse of raw materials. Please use your local electrical waste recycling system or contact the store where you purchased the device.
2.1
1. Before use, remove all packaging materials, including foam protectors and tapes inside the refrigerator and the protective film on the doors and body of the refrigerator. Place the appliance away from heat sources and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the refrigerator in wet or damp places to prevent rusting or damage its insulation. Do not spray water or wash the refrigerator. Do not place the refrigerator in wet places that are easy to get wet, so as not to affect its electrical insulation.
2. The refrigerator should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor area, the ground should be flat and stable. Rotate the adjustable foot to align the refrigerator.
3. There must be at least 30 cm of free space from the top of the refrigerator. The refrigerator must be placed in front of a wall with a gap of at least 10 cm to allow heat dissipation.
The lamp cannot be replaced by the user. If it is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified people to avoid a hazard.
2.3
Before the first start, wait for half an hour before connecting it to the power supply. Before placing food inside, turn it on for 2-3 hours (in summer 4 or more) to create the proper cooling inside.
Leave enough space so that the refrigerator doors and drawers can open properly. Your appliance may differ in appearance from the model shown in this manual.
The appliance should be in the coolest part of the room, away from heat-generating appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight. Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to work longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose its quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap food properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This reduces the build-up of frost inside the appliance.
The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper. Linings interfere with the circulation of cold air, making the appliance less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extensive searching. Remove as many items as you need together and close the door as soon as possible.
Please read these safety instructions on page 1 carefully before using your new refrigerator. The refrigerator is intended for indoor domestic use only.
Important note:
Product appearance and specifications are subject to change without notice for product improvement.
1. The temperature inside can be adjusted using the thermostat.
2. The indications on the switch are the setting levels and not the actual temperature.
• Position "0": Device off
• Position "MIN": Higher temperature setting
• Position "NORMAL": Normal operation (recommended for normal use)
• Position "MAX": Lower temperature setting
NOTE: In high ambient temperatures, e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting. This may cause the compressor to run continuously to maintain a low temperature inside.
Be extra careful with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid the transfer of bacteria. Keep raw meat on a plate large enough to catch their juices and cover them with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate better, ensuring that all parts of the refrigerator are kept cool.
Wrap food!
To prevent flavor transfer and drying, food should be individually wrapped or covered. Fruits and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
4.1
• Dust behind the refrigerator and on the floor should be cleaned in time to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Regularly check the door seal to make sure there is no residue.
• Clean the door seal with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The inside of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent odor. Turn off the power before cleaning the inside, remove all food, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quarter liter of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe dry. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning it on.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow spots, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft cloth, or soft brush, etc., and when necessary, in combination with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure that no infectious or bacterial substances accumulate in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scouring powder, cleaning spray, etc., as these may cause odors inside the refrigerator or contaminate food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Wipe with a dry soft cloth or let it dry naturally.
• Wipe the exterior surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, wire, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acidic or alkaline objects, which may cause damage to the surface and interior of the refrigerator. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or cause damage to plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or damage to electrical insulation.
Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet when defrosting and cleaning.
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the food from the interior and place it carefully in a place where it will not defrost.
3. Clean the drain hose (use soft materials to avoid damage). Prepare the water containers for defrosting (carefully clean the compressor and avoid overflowing on the floor).
4. You can defrost naturally or use an ice shovel to break the ice (make sure the shovel is wooden or plastic to avoid damage).
5. You can use hot water to speed up the process and a dry towel.
6. Once this process is finished, put the food back in the appliance.
4.3 Out of order
• Power failure: Food can be preserved for a few hours even in summer in the event of a power failure. During a power failure, it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening the door and not to put fresh food in the appliance.
• If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time: The appliance should be unplugged and then cleaned. The doors should then be left open to prevent odors.
• Moving: Before moving the refrigerator, remove all objects inside, secure the glass partitions, the vegetable drawer, the freezer drawers, etc. with adhesive tape and tighten the adjustable feet. Close the doors and secure them with tape. When moving, the appliance should not be turned over, placed horizontally or shaken. The inclination during movement should not exceed 45°
The device will operate continuously from the moment you turn it on. In general, its operation should not be interrupted, otherwise, its lifespan may be reduced.
You can try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If they cannot be solved, please contact our customer service department.
The device is not working
Check if the device is plugged into the outlet or if the plug is making good contact
Odor Foods that have odors should be wrapped carefully. Check for spoiled foods. Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
The compressor runs for a long time
It is normal for the refrigerator to operate for a longer period in summer when the ambient temperature is high. Do not put too much food in the appliance at the same time. Do not put food in the appliance until it has cooled down. The doors are opened too frequently.
The lamp does not light up
Check if the refrigerator is connected to the power supply and if the lamp is damaged. Contact a technician to replace the lamp. The doors cannot be closed properly The door is stuck with food packaging. You have put in too much food. The refrigerator is tilting.
Loud noises
The door seal tires are not sealing
Overflow of the water basin
The area around and between the doors is hot
Check if the floor is level and if the refrigerator is standing firmly. Check if the refrigerator components are correctly placed in their positions.
Remove any foreign objects from the door seal. Heat the seal and let it cool to resolve the issue.
The refrigerator is overloaded or the food inside contains too much water, which leads to excessive defrosting. The doors do not close properly, resulting in freezing due to air entering and water rising due to defrosting.
Heat dissipation from the built-in condenser through the casing is normal. When the casing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storing too much food or compressor failure, constant ventilation is generated to facilitate heat dissipation.
Water vapor condensation on surfaces
Extended with low intensity
Condensation on the exterior surface and the refrigerator door seal is normal when the ambient humidity is very high. Simply wipe the condensation off with a clean towel.
Buzzing: The compressor may make a buzzing noise during operation, which is louder when starting or stopping operation. This is normal.
Squealing: The refrigerant flowing inside the appliance may make a squeaking sound, which is normal.
