any old locks or latches as a safeguard.
Freon-free
8
The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming
insulation material (cyclopentane) that is
environmentally friendly are used for the
refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone layer
and having a very small impact on the global
warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed in a
refrigeration system, without leakage during
normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due
to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to
keep the appliance away from open flames and
open the windows for ventilation as quickly as
possible.

Preparations for use
Installationlocation
1. Ventilation condition
The position you select for the refrigerator
installation should be well-ventilated and has less
hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat
source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from
direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration
effect while saving energy consumption. Do not
locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to
prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking
electricity. The result of the total space of the room
in which the refrigerator is installed being divided
by the refrigerant charge amount of the
refrigerator shall not be less than 8 g/M
3
.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the
refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to
surroundings. Therefore, at least 300 mm of free
space should be spared at the top side, more than
100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at the
back side of the refrigerator.
3. Level ground
Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground
(floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to
vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is
placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw
mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates
should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so
as to prevent color change due to heat
dissipation.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be
maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the refrigerator is properly installed and well
cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make
sure to energize the refrigerator after more than 1
hour of standing, so as to ensure its normal
operation.
2. Cleaning
Confirm the accessory parts inside the refrigerator
and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the
compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if
the temperature inside the freezer compartment
drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration
system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the
internal temperature of the refrigerator will be
automatically controlled according to the user’s
temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully
cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours
to be fully cooled. In summer, when the
temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for
the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the
refrigerator door as less as possible before the
internal temperature cools down).
If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture
place, make sure to check whether the ground wire
and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration
noises are produced due to the refrigerator
contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by
12
air convection around the compressor, move the
refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the
refrigerator may cause jamming noise or image
chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone,
radio receiver, television set surrounding it, so try
to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible in
such case.
Functions
Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled
by the control panel mounted in the fridge compa
rtment.
The refrigerator temperature is set to be the lowe
st when at "2°C" and the highest when at "8°C". It
can be adjusted according to the user's needs.
1. Under the normal operating condition (in spring
and autumn), it is recommended to set the temp
erature at “5°C”.
2. In summer when the ambient temperature is hi
gh, it is recommended to set temperature at “5 -
6°C”, so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer te
mperatures and reduce the refrigerator continuou
s running time; and in winter when the ambient te
mperature is low, it is recommended to set tempe
rature at “4-
5°C” to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerat
or.
3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the
fridge temperature and the freezer temperature
can be reduced rapidly at the same time, so that
foods can be kept in fresh condition with their
nutrition not lost. The maximum running time of
the fast-cool function is 26 hours, after which, the
refrigerator will be restored to its previous mode
that is set before the fast-cool function is enabled.
Remark The temperatures may vary with respe
ct to setting’s ones due to compressor cycles and
outside conditions.
Note: If the indicator light‘2 or 5 or ‘8gets
flickering, it indicates that the refrigerator
has broken down. Please contact the after-
sales personnel for on-site service as soon as
possible.

Precautions for use
The appliance might not operate consistently
(there is possibility of defrosting or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen
food compartment) when sited for an
extended period of time below the cold limit
of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed
13
The information of climate type of the
appliance is provided on the rating plate.
The internal temperature could be affected by
such factors as the location of refrigerating
appliance, ambient temperature, and
frequency of door open, etc., and if
appropriate, a warning that setting of any
temperature control device might have to be
varied to allow for these factors should be
made.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the
freezer compartment or the low-temperature
compartment, and some products such as
water ices should not be consumed too cold.
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator,
the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is
different, so different kinds of food should be
placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the
storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the
cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that
need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The
crisper box is suitable for the preservation of
vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the
storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to
be preserved for a long time.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the
fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -
18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time
in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder
temperatures. Since some particular products (as
fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with
colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them
in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not
present, maintain an average setting of the
thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written
on the food packaging. This storage time is
achieved whenever the setting respects the
reference temperatures of the compartment (one-
star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage
compartment between 2 ~ 8 , and store the
foods that are intended for short-term storage, or
to be eaten at any time in the fresh food
compartment.
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first,
and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf,
place it into position before putting it down. (For
the two-section shelf, push the first section to the
rear end, and then pull the second section out).
Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent
foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out
or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle
with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to
food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the
crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper,
so that the internal temperature of the crisper box
will not be affected.
Cautions for food storage
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry
before storing them inside the refrigerator.
Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is
advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water
evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables
on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the
other hand.
Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the
refrigerator. Keep enoughspace between foods; if too
close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting
the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or
overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being
crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance
away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-
rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they
get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foodsFoods should be
stored by category, with the foods you eat every
day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door
open duration can be shortened and food
spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.
Energy-saving tips:Allow the hot food cool down to
the room temperature before putting it in the
refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food
compartment to thaw, using the low temperature
of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus
saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill
compartment, a statement to the effect that some
types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to
cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in
this kind of compartment should be made.
Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ,
and it is advisable to store the food for long-term
preservation in the freezer compartment, but the
storage duration indicated on the food packaging
should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that
14
needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block
size should be cut into small pieces and packed
into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly
distributed inside the freezer drawers.
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not put a glass container with liquid or the
canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer
compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume
expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
Divide the food into appropriately small
portions
You’d better pack the food up before freezing it,
and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the
packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be
packed or covered by such suitable materials as are
firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-
toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-
contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the
Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will
be able to store each item of frozen food for
the period shown against the star rating. This
is usually the period stated as “Best to use
them before×”, found on the front of the
packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen
foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in
perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your
shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst
shopping and on the journey home, as this
will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it
straight away. Special insulated bags can be
bought from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods
cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is
unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam
cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put
into a saucepan and heated gently until
thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as
possible. When foods are frozen in small
quantities, it will take less than for them to
freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen
up. When freezing large amounts of fresh
food, adjust the temperature control knob to
the low mode, with the freezer temperature
lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast
manner, with the food freshness well kept.
Tips for Water dispenser (if available)
The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which
makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have
access to cold water almost immediately. The
water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of
water which has to be filled out. To use water
dispenser follow the instructions below:
1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the
water dispenser fixed well.

Tips for special needs
Moving the refrigerator/freezer
Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat
source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from
direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using
the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/
freezer door gasket sealing performance will be
affected, or even it may lead to the operating
failure of your refrigerator/freezer.
After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position,
wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the
refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your
appliance.
When you are out for a long time
If the appliance will not be used for several
months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug
from the wall outlet.
Take out all foods.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
ajar: block it open or have the door removed if
necessary.
Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated
place and away from the heat source, place the
appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy
objects on top of it.
The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first;
Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand,
because there is a risk of electric shock and injury.
Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to
avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do
not stretch your hands into the bottom of the
refrigerator, since you might be scratched by
sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to
produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be
cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is
usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover
board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft
towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral
detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel
and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean
water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush,
detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,
benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other
corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet
surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts,
etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the
groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with
cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four
corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it
segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system
Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (such as interruption of power supply
or failure of the refrigerating system).
Try to open the refrigerator door as less as
possible, in this way can food safely and freshly
kept for hours even in hot summer.
If you get the power outage notice in advance
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode
an hour in advance; so that foods get fully
frozen (Do not store new food during this
time!). Restore the temperature mode to the
original setting when power supply becomes
normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight
container, and put it in the upper part of the
freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food
to be stored.
Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you’d
better use it continuously; and under normal
circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to
affect the service life.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be
formed on the freezer compartment inner wall (or
evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness.
In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost
off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or
sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off
every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of
drawers and normal access of foods are affected
by frosting, make sure to remove the frosts in a
16
timely manner. Follow the following steps to
remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains
power supply, open the refrigerator door,
and gently remove the frosts from the inner
wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the
thawing process, you are suggested to place a
bowl of hot water inside the
refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice
frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to
scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the
refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the
power supply.
Changing the lamp
The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for
lighting, which features low energy consumption
and long service life. In case of any abnormality,
please contact the after-sales personnel for
visiting service.The lamps can only be replaced by
the manufacturer,together with a part of the
appliance
Safety-check after maintenance
Is the power cord broken or damaged?
Is the power plug firmly inserted into the socket?
Is the power plug abnormally overheat?
Note: Electric shock and fire accident may
be caused in case the power cord and plugs
damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality,
please unplug the power plug and get in contact
with the vendor.
