Please read this instruction book carefully before use and retain it for future reference.“FOR appliances without a 4-star compartment: this refrigerating appliance is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs” “FOR a free-standing appliance: this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance”

CORRECTLY POSITIONING

Well VentilatingThere is a need for good ventilation around the refrigerator for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration, and low power consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear space should need around the refrigerator. I am back is at least 100mm away from the wall, its sides at least have a space of 100mm separately and the height from over its top is not less than 200mm. Clear space should be left to open its doors to 160°.Power SupplyThe refrigerator is only applied with a power supply of a single-phase alternating current of (220- 240)V-/50Hz;230V-/60Hz. If fluctuation of voltage in the district user is so large that the voltage exceeds the above scope, for safety sake, be sure to apply a.c. automatic voltage regulator to the refrigerator. The refrigerator must employ a special power socket instead of a common one with other electric a appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground wire.Power Line CordThe cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into the coil during operation. Moreover, it is forbidden that cord is kept close to the compressor at the back of the refrigerator, the surface temperature of which is quite high when operating. Touching with it would deactivate the insulation or cause leakage for electricity.Protection from MoistureAvoiding placing the refrigerator in a place where heavy moisture is present so as to minimize the possibility of rusty for its metal parts. Still more, the refrigerator is forbidden to be directly sprayed by water, otherwise, poor insulation and current leakage would occur.Protection from HeatThe refrigerator should be far away from any heat source or direct sunshine.Fixing StableThe floor on which the refrigerator will be placed must be fiat and solid. It should not be laid on any soft material such as foam plastic. etc. If the refrigerator is not on the same level, adjust the screws suitably. the refrigerator should not be placed near anything which may echo.Keep Away from DangerIt is inadvisable that the refrigerator is placed near any volatilizable or combustible such as gas. petrol. alcohol, lacquer, and banana oil. etc. The above-mentioned objects can not be stored in the refrigerator.MovingWhen fixed or moved. the refrigerator can not be set horizontally or de client to more than 45° or upside-down.

Position different food in different compartments according to be below the table

 Refrigerator compartments  Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartment

 

Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condiments.Do not store perishable foods.
 

Crisper drawer (salad drawer)

Fruits, herbs, and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper bin. |Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the rahiyerator.
Fridge shelf – middle Dairy products, eggs
Fridge shelf – top Foods that do not need cooking, such as ready-to-eat foods. deli meats, leftovers.
  • It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
  • 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)

  • The information above gives users a recommendation of the temperature setting.– extended temperate (SN): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C’;– temperate (N): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C’;– subtropical (ST): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’;– tropical (T): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C’;

Cautions

  • Water contained in food or getting into the air inside the refrigerator by opening doors may form a layer of frost inside. It will weaken the refuge raptor when the frost is thick, while it is more than 2mm thick, you should defrost.
  • If the supply cord of this appliance is d amens& it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer because special purpose tools are required.

Care and maintenance

Replacing lamps

When replacing the lamp, proceed as follows:– Unplug the appliance from the mains.– Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the lamp cover and remove them.– Replace the lamp with a new one, maximum watts recommend in the label inside the appliance next to the lamp.– Put the lamp cover back on and wait 5 minutes before plugging the appliance back into the mains.

Troubleshooting

  1. WHEN THE REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT WORKCheck if there is a power failure.Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet.Check that the fuse has not blown.
  2. WHEN THE REFRIGERATOR IS COOLING EXCESSIVELYThe temperature control dial may be set too high.If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily.This does not indicate a malfunction.
  3. WHEN THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT COOLING SUFFICIENTLYThe food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air.You may have put something hot or a lot of foodstuffs into the refrigerator.The door may not have been closed properly.The door gaskets may be damaged.The refrigerator may not be ventilated.There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces Immediately on both sides and above.The temperature control dial may not be set properly
  4. WHEN THE DEFROSTING WATER OVERFLOWS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR AND ONTO THE FLOOR.Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not clogged.Check that the drain pan is housed properly.
  5. WHEN CONDENSATION FORMS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE REFRIGERATORCondensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season.This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass.It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe dry with a dry cloth.
  6. WHEN YOU HEAR A SOUND LIKE WATER FLOWINGA sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing.It does not indicate a malfunction.
  7. WHEN THE CABINET’S SIDE PANEL HEATS UPThe side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit and when the unit operates in summer with high ambient outside temperature, In such case, do not touch the panel, it results from the dissipation of the heat from inside the cabinet, and it does not mean that something is wrong with the refrigerator.
