Setup and Installation
Unpacking

- Inspect the appliance for any damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
- Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
Location
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface.

- Connect the appliance to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters.
Initial Operation

Operating Instructions
Control Panel and Display
The Haier HRF-628DS7 features an intuitive door display for easy temperature adjustments and mode selections. The display shows the current temperatures for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Temperature Settings
- Refrigerator Compartment: Recommended temperature is between 2°C and 8°C. Adjust using the dedicated controls on the display.
- Freezer Compartment: Recommended temperature is -18°C. Adjust using the dedicated controls on the display.
Special Functions
- NoFrost Technology: This system prevents ice build-up in the freezer, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
- Holiday Mode: Activates an energy-saving mode when you are away for an extended period. The freezer maintains its temperature, while the refrigerator operates at a higher, energy-efficient temperature to prevent odors.
- Humidity-Controlled Vegetable Drawers: Designed to maintain optimal humidity levels, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.
- LED Lighting: Provides bright, energy-efficient illumination of the interior.
- Twist Ice Maker: For convenient ice production without a direct water connection.
Maintenance and Cleaning
General Cleaning
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Clean the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or sharp objects.
- Wipe door seals clean to ensure a tight seal.
Condenser Coil Cleaning
Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the appliance (if accessible) with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to ensure efficient operation and energy saving.
Defrosting
Thanks to the NoFrost technology, manual defrosting of the freezer compartment is generally not required. If ice accumulation occurs due to frequent door opening or high humidity, it will be automatically managed by the system.
