5. Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have independent temperature controls. Adjust the settings as needed to maintain optimal food freshness and freezing performance. Avoid setting the temperature too low unnecessarily, as this consumes more energy.

Food Storage Tips

• Store food in sealed containers to prevent odors and maintain freshness.
• Do not overload the compartments, as this can hinder air circulation and cooling efficiency.
• Allow hot foods to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator to save energy.
• Utilize the free case for organized storage of fruits, vegetables, or deli items.

6. Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

• Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
• Clean the door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. The gasket dirt guard helps in keeping it clean.
• Remove and clean shelves and drawers as needed.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment features an automatic defrost system, so manual defrosting is not required under normal operating conditions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your refrigerator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Refrigerator not cooling: Check if the power cord is properly plugged in, the temperature settings are correct, and the door is fully closed.
• Unusual noises: Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. Slight humming from the compressor is normal.
• Water leakage: Check if the drain hose is clogged or if the drip tray is overflowing.
• Door not closing properly: Inspect door gaskets for dirt or damage. Ensure shelves and food items are not obstructing the door.
