PRODUCT INSTALLATION

Installation Instructions

Finding a suitable location

• This refrigerator is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• The refrigerator should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat and sturdy.
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the refrigerator in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduce of insulating effect.

Dimensions and Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in the degradation of freezing capability and increased electricity costs. Allow over 4 inches of clearance from each adjacent wall when installing the appliance.

Providing a proper power supply

• Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires an AC115 V, 60 Hz power supply.
• Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this refrigerator.
  CAUTION
  • The refrigerator should always be plugged into its electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
  • Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
  • When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Start to use

• The refrigerator shall stay for half an hour before connecting power when it is first started.
• The refrigerator shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the refrigerator shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient temperature is high.

Door right-left change
List of tools to be provided by the user

1. Remove all food from door shelves. Fix the door with tape.
2. Dismantle hole caps, the upper hinge cover, fitting screws of the upper hinge, and remove the upper hinge, please keep the door vertical in the whole process for avoiding falling;

   

3. Remove the door.
4. Dismantle the lower hinge assembly and leveling foot;

   

5. Install the stopper lower hinge and leveling foot on the lower left side of the cabinet and lower right side respectively;
6. Put the door on the lower hinge vertically, and validate the gas tightness of the door gasket, then install the upper hinge by fitting screws and the hinge cover, and finally cover the hole caps and pins on the er right side.

   

Leveling feet

• To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
• If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor.
• The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
• Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
• Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to lower it.

Tips for energy saving 

• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other heat sources. If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance, and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
• Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves, and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy.
• To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.
• An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases the energy efficiency.
• Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss. Opening the door briefly and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
• The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and the energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Control panel

• The figures do not mean a specific set temperature, but a temperature level.
• “1” means the warmest setting.
• “6” means the coldest setting.
• The higher the figure is, the lower the actual temperature inside the refrigerator shall be.
• “OFF” means the unit stops working.
• Recommended setting: “4”.

ATTENTION
The actual control panel may differ from model to model.

• The Refrigerating Chamber is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages, and other food for consumption in the short term. The suggested storage time is 3 days to 5 days.
• Cooked foods shall not be put in the refrigerating chamber until cooled to room temperature.
• Foods are recommended to be sealed up before putting into the refrigerator.
• A drain tray is used for receiving water when defrosting. Please empty the water in the drain tray regularly in case the water overflowing into the cabinet.

Tips on storing food
Cooling compartment

• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. Cool warm foods down to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator, to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze on the wall.
• Do not keep regularly opening the refrigerator door.
• Meat and fish, packaged in plastic or foil, that is put in the refrigerator should be used within 1 to 2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.
  ATTENTION
  The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature. The above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 77 °F.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

Refrigerator shall be manually defrosted. 
Disconnect the plug from the wall socket, open the door, and remove all the food to a cool place. It is recommended to remove the frost with a plastic scraper or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water, and plug in a socket for switching on the refrigerator.
ATTENTION
Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Stop using

• Power failure:
  In case of a power failure, even if it is in the summer, food inside the appliance can be kept for several hours. Please try to reduce the amount of time you open the door during this time to keep the food as fresh as possible.
• Long-time nonuse:
  The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned. Please leave the doors open to prevent odor.
• Moving:
  Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers, etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.
  ATTENTION
  • The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance shall not be interrupted; otherwise, the service life may be impaired.
  • Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening doors.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Problem	Possible reason
Failed operation	• Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in good contact
	• Check whether the voltage is too low
	• Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
Odor	• Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped
	• Check whether there is any rotten food
	• Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation of the compressor	• Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer
	• when the ambient temperature is high it is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same time
	• Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance
	• The doors are opened too frequently
The door can not be properly closed.	• The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed
	• The refrigerator is tilted.
Loud noises	• Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably
	• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Hot housing	• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food, or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation	• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
