Using your Appliance
This section tells you how to use most of the useful features. We recommend that you read through them carefully before using the appliance.
Door Bin · Do not place too many heavy things in the door bin. · All the door bins are completely removable for cleaning.
Wire Shelf · Shelfs can be taken out to be cleaned.
· To avoid hurting your hands , don't hold the shelf with a wet hand. Using the freezer compartment
· For freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for long periods of time. · The freezer compartment is provided with drawers. · Do not store food too close to the air outlet on the air duct. · To help prevent child entrapment, keep the key out of reach of children and away from cabinet. Caution! · When the freezer reaches the set temperature, it will take a enough effort to open the door, and open door again after closing, please wait for 15 seconds later. · When you close the freezer door, you will hear a slight inhalation sound, accompanied by the flattening of the freezer door gasket, because this large refrigerator has enough powerful cooling power.
For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned at least every two months. Warning! To avoid electrical shock, the appliance must not be connected to the main power supply during cleaning. Before cleaning, switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the main socket. Exterior cleaning To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, you should clean it regularly. ·Spray water onto a cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. ·Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Caution! ·Don't use sharp objects to clean with, as they are likely to scratch the surface. ·Don't use Thinner, Car detergent, bleach,
Hisense Refrigerator

ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire. Interior cleaning You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of backing soda and water, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place. Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartment's interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed as follows: 1. Remove existing food and accessories baskets, unplug the appliance from the main power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the process. 2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above. Warning!
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the main socket. Door seals cleaning Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning. Caution! Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on Replacing the LED light Warning: The LED light must be replaced by a competent person. If the LED light is damaged, follow the steps below: 1. Unplug your appliance. 2. Remove light cover by rising up and pulling out the LED light. 3. Hold the LED light with one hand and pull it with the other hand while pressing the connector latch. 4. Replace LED light and snap it correctly in place and recover the light cover.
Energy Saving Tips We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy. ·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc.) ·Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
·Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance. ·Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to "Installing your New Appliance" chapter. ·If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration ·Do not place hot food directly into the freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy. ·Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor. ·Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it. Hints for freezing ·When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment. ·Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required. ·Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or cling wraps which are airtight. ·Do not allow fresh , unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter. ·Iced products, (ice cubes, popsicles): if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin. ·It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time. Hints for the storage of frozen food ·Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer ·Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer. Switching off your appliance If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken prevent mold on the appliance.
1 . Remove all food. 2. Remove the power plug from the main socket. 3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. 4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

Problem
Possible Cause & Solution
Check whether the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly.
Check the fuse or circuit of your power supply, replace if
necessary.
Appliance is not working
correctly
The ambient temperature is too low. Try setting the chamber
temperature to a colder level to solve this problem.
It is normal that the freezer is not operating during the defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance is switched on to protect the compressor.
Odours from the compartments
The interior may need to be cleaned Some food, containers or wrapping cause odours.
The sounds below are quite normal: ·Compressor running noises. ·Air movement noise from the small fan motor in the freezer compartment or other compartments. ·Gurgling sound similar to water boiling. ·Popping noise during automatic defrosting. ·Clicking noise before the compressor starts. Noise from the appliance · Clicking noise when you get the water. ·The motor running noises when you get ice.
Other unusual noises are due to the reasons below and may need you to check and take action: The cabinet is not level. The back of appliance is touching the wall. Bottles or containers have fallen or are rolling.
The motor runs
It is normal to frequently hear the sound of the motor, it will

Check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back by about 10mm to allow the doors to self-close, or if something inside is preventing the doors from closing.
The light is not working
·The LED light may be damaged. Refer to replace LED lights in" Cleaning and Care" chapter. ·The control system has disabled the lights due to the door being kept open too long. Close and reopen the door to reactivate the lights.
·Warm air inside the freezer compartment is rapidly cooled.
Freezer door is so hard to open
Since cold air takes up less space than warm air, negative pressure results. ·Typically, within a few minutes the pressures of the door will
equalize and the door can be opened with little effort.
