2.5 CHANGING THE LIGHT
2.7 ENERGY SAVING TIPS
2.6 STARTING
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualifi ed person.
• The appliance should be located 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 storing 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.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the appliance less effi cient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door opening and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
• Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for 1/2 hour before connecting it to power supply.
• Let the refrigerator run for 2 – 3 hours, or more than 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high, before
putting any fresh or frozen foods inside the refrigerator.
• Provide enough space to conveniently open the refrigerator doors and drawers.

3. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS
3.1 KEY COMPONENTS
REFRIGERATING CHAMBER
• The Refrigerating Chamber is suitable for storing a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food consumed in
the short term.
• 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.
• The glass shelves can be adjusted up or down for a reasonable amount of storage space and easy use.
FREEZING CHAMBER
• The low temperature freezing chamber may keep food fresh for a long time and is mainly used to store frozen foods
and make ice.
• The freezing chamber is suitable for storing meat, fi sh, poultry and other foods not to be consumed in short term.
• Meat should be divided into small pieces for easy access. Please be noted food shall be consumed within the
shelf time.
Note: Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely aff ect the freezing
eff ect of the refrigerator. Foods stored shall not block the air outlet; or otherwise the freezing eff ect will also be
adversely aff ected.

DISPLAY
When initially powered ON, the display screen (including the key light) is on full display for 3 seconds, then the refrigerator
runs according to temperature setting 3.
NORMAL OPERATION DISPLAY
In case of a failure, the appropriate LED light combination will determine the error code (in recycling display). In case of
no failures, it shows the actual temperature setting.
ERROR CODES
The following warnings appearing on the display indicate corresponding error codes. Though the refrigerator may still be
refrigerating and freezing with the following errors, the user needs to contact a maintenance specialist for maintenance
so as to ensure normal use of the refrigerator.
ERROR CODE MEANING

TEMPERATURE SETTING
Each time the temperature setting button, A, is pressed once, the temperature setting changes one time. After the
temperature setting has been completed, the refrigerator will run according to the set value after 5 seconds. From left to
right, the temperature is lower and lower. The shift regulation is:
Setting 1 Setting 2 Setting 3 Setting 4 Setting 5
STANDBY MODE
When the refrigerator is running, press and hold the temperature setting button for 3 seconds. The refrigerator enters into

4.1 OVERALL CLEANING
4.2 DEFROSTING
4.3 OUT OF OPERATION
4. MAINTENANCE & CARE OF THE UNIT
• Dust behind the refrigerator and the ground shall be cleaned once a month to improve the cooling eff ect and save
energy. The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Soft towels or sponge dipped in water
and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The freezer should be cleaned with clean water and
a dry cloth. Open the door to air dry before the power is turned on.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean refrigerator considering that this may
damage the fridge surface and interior.
• Do not rinse with water so as not to aff ect the electrical insulation properties.
The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has an automatic defrosting function. Frost formed
due to change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from the
power supply or by wiping down with a dry towel.
• POWER FAILURE: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several
hours; during a power failure, avoid opening the door unless necessary. During this time, do not add additional food to
the refrigerator.
• LONG-TIME NON-USE: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned per the instructions listed above, and the
doors are to be left open to prevent odor.
• MOVING: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, secure the glass shelves, vegetable holder,
freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape.
When moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during
movement shall be no more than 45°.
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.
PLEASE UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR FOR DEFROSTING AND CLEANING.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
For further assistance, contact Consumer Services at 855-663-WIND (855-663-9463).
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE, PLEASE REVIEW THE CHART BELOW
ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSES
FAILED OPERATION
• Check that the appliance is connected to power and that the plug is making
proper contact
• Check whether or not the voltage is too low
• Check whether or not 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
• Keep an open box of baking soda inside the refrigerator to help eliminate odors
LONG-TIME OPERATION OF
THE COMPRESSOR
• Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient
temperature is high
• It is not suggested to store too much food in the appliance at the same time
• Let food cool before storing in the refrigerator
• The doors are opened too frequently
LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE
• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the
illuminating light is damaged
• Have the light replaced by a specialist
DOORS CANNOT BE PROPERLY
CLOSED
• Make sure nothing is preventing the door from closing
• Too much food is placed in the refrigerator
• The refrigerator is tilted
LOUD NOISE • Check that the fl oor is level and stable
• Check that accessories are properly placed
DOOR SEAL FAILS TO BE TIGHT
• Remove foreign matters from the door seal
• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier
or use a hot towel for heating)
WATER PAN OVERFLOWS
• There is too much food in the chamber or stored food contains too much water,
resulting in heavy defrosting
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and
increased water due to defrosting
HOT HOUSING
• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing 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. Wipe the condensation with a clean towel.
ABNORMAL NOISE
• Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzing during operation and the buzzing
noise is particularly loud upon s tart or stop. This is normal.
• Creak: Refrigerant fl owing inside of the appliance may produce creaking, which is
normal.
