After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before
turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity
or a damage to the product.
Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3
hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect
the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the
compressor due to successive starts.
2.3 Changing the light
2.4 Starting
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.
Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
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.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
