4. Operation

4.1 Adjusting the Temperature

When using the refrigerator-freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the temperature control to "MAX" for at least two hours before introducing food. Place all frozen food products in the freezer compartment as soon as possible to prevent thawing.

In winter or low ambient temperature conditions, switch the temperature controller to larger settings, like: MAX. Storage recommendations printed on frozen food packaging should always be followed.

Be careful that the drawer does not mangle the refrigeration pipeline.

4.2 Noise Inside the Unit!

Your unit may make unusual noises, most of which are normal. These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system, which has become more pronounced with CFC-free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect performance. This is the compressor motor working as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a suitable container, large enough to collect juices, and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before putting it in the unit. This helps maintain the internal temperature.
• To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times you open the door. Open the door only when you need to put food in or take food out.

5. Cleaning

5.1 Defrosting

Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance, which will automatically defrost during the compressor cycle. Water is channelled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the compressor, where it evaporates. Ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned regularly so water can exit the storage compartment.

5.2 Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground should be cleaned timely to improve cooling effect and energy saving.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odour.
• Check the door gasket regularly for debris.
• Turn off the power before cleaning. Remove all food, shelves, and drawers.
• Clean the door gasket with mild soap and water.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water, wipe clean, and open the door to dry naturally before turning the power on.
• For areas difficult to clean (e.g., narrow gaps or corners), use a soft rag, soft brush, or auxiliary tools like thin sticks to ensure no contaminant accumulation.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, or spray cleaner, as these may cause odours in the interior.
• Wipe the outer surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or detergent, then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, wire brushes, abrasives (like toothpastes), organic solvents (like alcohol, acetone, banana oil), boiling water, acid, or alkaline items, as these may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse with water, as this may affect electrical insulation properties.

5.3 Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit due to changes in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, contact a qualified technician.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Changing the Internal Light

Lamp replacement by professionals.

6.2 Care When Handling / Moving Your Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

6.3 Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorized engineer using only genuine spare parts. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself, as repairs by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

6.4 Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food, and clean the appliance. Leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

7. Trouble Shooting

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after-sale service department if issues are not settled.

7.1 Warm tips:

• The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, caused by the radiation of the condenser; this is a normal phenomenon.
• Condensation may be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when ambient humidity is large; this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
• Buzz: Buzz will be generated by the running compressor, especially when starting up or shutting down.

8. Tips for Energy Saving

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
• Check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• In normal temperature conditions, set the thermostat at the middle setting.
• Before loading the appliance with fresh food, ensure it is cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• Locate the appliance in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Do not line appliance storage bins with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling, as liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

9. Disposal

Old units have residual value. An environmentally friendly disposal method ensures valuable raw materials are recovered and reused. The refrigerant and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure no pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal. Obtain up-to-date information on disposal options for your old unit and packaging from your local council office.

When disposing of an old unit, break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a safeguard.
