Storing food and drink

For optional use of the refrigerator compart-

ment observe the following instructions:
1.  Never put hot liquids or food in the 

refrigerator;

2.  Cover or wrap food prior to storage
3.  Arrange food so that air can circulate 

freely inside the compartment.

Meat(all types:) Wrap in protective material 

and store time should be less than two days 

cooked food, cold meals etc. must be 

covered well and stored in proper position in 

the refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and 

stored in the relative drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should 

not be stored in the refrigerator unless 

wrapped first.

Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food

Appliances with compartments can be used 

to store frozen food for a maximum time of 

one month.
The interval between purchase and placing 

the food in the freezer should be as short as 

possible.
Never exceed the storage period indicated 

on the food packaging.
Only open the freezer door when necessary 

and as quick as possible.
In the event of operation after prolonged 

periods of disuse, switch on the appliance 

under no-load conditions for 2-3 hours taking 

care to set the thermostat knot to the highest 

setting, then place food in the refrigerator as 

required and adjust the thermostat knob to 

an intermediate setting.

Important

If food stored in the compartment is 

defrosted, e.g. due to a power failure, it 

should be consumed within a short time, 

even if not completely thawed.

Ice

The appliance is supplied with an ice tray to 

make ice. If the ice tray freezes onto the from 

the compartment, never use metal and/or 

sharp  objects to detach the tray from the 

compartment.

The care required for best 

performance, such as

Loadings in the refrigerating appliance 

should not exceed its storage volume.
If the refrigerating appliance stopped for a 

long time(due to interruption of power 

supply or failure of the refrigerating 

system), the frozen food(fresh food) had 

better to be disposed of according to 

user’s need.
It is better to arrange the food when 

storage, to avoid cross-contamination.
Some types of fresh vegetables and fruits 

are sensitive to cold; therefore they are not 

suitable for storage in chill compartment.

Lamp

LED lamp can not be replaced by user. It 

must be replaced by the manufacturer, 

service agent or similarly qualified person.

Defrosting food

For optional cooking results with frozen 

food, we recommend defrosting inside the 

refrigerator or at ambient temperature, the 

latter obviously require less time.
If you need to save time and cook food in 

the shortest time, you can cook small items 

directly from frozen by lengthening the 

cooking time slightly, or put the big size 

items in a microwave oven to reduce the 

defrosting time.

Defrosting the appliance

After refrigerator operates some time, 

water of food or moisture in air, which 

enters refrigerator when opening its door, 

will make a layer of frost on its evaporator.
Freezing efficiency may be decreased and 

energy consumption be increased by too 

thick layer of frost. So it should be 

defrosted after refrigerator operates a 

period.
The product needs not artificial defrosting 

because of its auto-defrosting function.
Water from melting frost is drained to drip 

tray at lower part of its back through 

drainpipes and is evaporated naturally.

Prolonged periods of disuse

If you do not intend to use the appliance for 

long periods of time. Set the thermostat knob 

of the “OFF” or “0” position and disconnect 

the power supply. Then take out the foods, 

defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the 

door slightly open.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning 

the appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning 

agents as you may damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with cloth.
Remove the detachable accessories in the 

interior of the appliance and clean with water 

and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be 

washed in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with wet 

cloth, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to 

power supply and reload it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Defective operation of the appliance is not always due to a technical fault but is offen caused by 

incorrect installation or use. To avoid unnecessary technical assistance and relative expenses we 

recommend the following procedures.

1. Internal temperature is not cool enough

Check

 • Make sure that the door closes properly;

• Make sure that the thermostat setting is correct;

• Make sure that the refrigerator is not positioned close to heat sources;

• Make sure that air can circulate freely at the rear of the appliance;

• Make sure that the condenser is not blocked.

2. Internal temperature is too low

Check

 • Make sure that the thermostat setting is correct.

3. Excessive appliance noise level

Check 

• Make sure that the appliance is leveled correctly.

4. Appliance operation failure

Check 

• Make sure that the thermostat is not set to “OFF” or “0”.

• Make sure that the power supply is not disconnected;

• Make sure that the pulg is inserted correctly into the mains socket;

• Make sure that the automatic cut-out on the mains line has not tripped or that the 

fuse has not roken.

• Make sure that the power cable is not faulty.

Note: If the power cable need to be replaced, remove the plug from the power socket and install 

the new cable, which must be requested from the Sevice senter and installed by a qualified 

technician; ensure that it is properly connected and fixed.

If problems persist after the above procedures, contact your nearest Technical Assistance 

department.

HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE PACKING MATERIAL
