Hisense Refrigerator Use & Care Guide

Opening and Closing Doors

The refrigerator doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

• There is a mullion on the left-hand side refrigerator compartment door.
• When closing the left-hand door, the mullion folds behind the right-hand door joining the two doors.
• The temperature of the door frame is controlled to help prevent moisture from developing on the mullion. The temperature of the surface may be warm, which is normal, and will not affect the performance of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Before closing the left-hand door, make sure the mullion is folded inward. If the mullion is pulled outward it may become damaged when you try to close the door.

• To turn off the alarm, close all doors and drawer completely.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Refrigerator

Adjustable Shelves

The height of the shelves can be adjusted to fit your storage needs.

1. To remove a shelf, gently lift upward and then pull the shelf forward until the end of the shelf is past the shelf guides.
2. To reinstall a shelf, gently slide the shelf back into the refrigerator compartment, and then lower the shelf onto the shelf guides so that the hooks fit behind the rear guides.

Storage Drawers

The two refrigerator storage drawers, mounted on telescopic extension slides, can be used to store fruits and vegetables.

Full-width Drawer

The full-width drawer is an ideal space to store large deli platters.

• Open - The cover automatically opens as the drawer is pulled out from the cabinet.
• Close - The cover automatically closes as the drawer is pushed into the cabinet.

Freezer

Freezer Drawers

To Remove/Replace Freezer Storage Drawer:

1. Pull out drawer to maximum extension.
2. Slide open the upper storage drawer to its full extension.
3. Lift up on the front of the drawer, and then pull it out at an angle.
4. Remove the lower freezer storage compartment by lifting up on the front, and then pulling out at an angle.
5. Remove one fixing screw (left and right each) from the side of the slide rail.
6. Grab the drawer door by using both hands and pull it up to make sure the door detaches from the front of the slide rail and then move forward to remove the freezer drawer door.
7. Set the drawer front on a soft surface to protect the finish.
8. Slide the drawer glide rails into the cabinet.

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

Because air circulates between both compartments, any odors formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

⚠️ WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.

⚠️ WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug your appliance or disconnect power before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock or personal injury.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal scouring pads to clean your refrigerator inside or out. They can damage and/or discolor the refrigerator finish.
• Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they are still cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact.
