Following circumstances are not problems:
*A slight continuous sound will be heard when the liquid refrigerant circulates.
*Excessive vibration will be resulted in the following circumstances:
a) The refrigerator is not well positioned and adjusted.
b) The refrigerator is placed on a wood floor or near to wooden furniture.
*Electricity consumption specified in the technical parameters is the standard issued by
state authorities. This is determined under the following operating conditions for the
refrigerator: ambient temperature: 25 degrees Centigrade; temperature in the cold storage
compartment: 5 degrees Centigrade; Door: closed; continuous operation: 24 hours.
*When the ambient temperature and humidity are high (exceeding 32 degrees Centigrade
and 75%, respectively), a thick layer of ice will form on the back wall of the cold storage
compartment. In such circumstances, it is recommended that automatic mode is selected,
food with a high moisture content is sealed before storage, any food in the compartment
is loosely packed and the door is not opened unnecessarily.
*Liquid refrigerant in the refrigerator will make a sound similar to that of flowing water.
*In winters, it is necessary to keep the refrigeration temperature to 0not above 0and
below 10.

Following circumstances are not problems:
*A slight sound might be produced by the evaporator and the pipes due to temperature
changes.
*The compressor will operate for comparatively longer periods if excessive quantity of
food is stored or the ambient temperature is high.
*A slight sound might be produced by the thermostat, start capacitor or heat protector
when the appliance is first started.
*Wipe with soft cloth the water drops, which might appear on the external surface and the
middle connection of the appliance.
*The two sides of the external surface and the middle connection of the appliance will be
warm due to heat radiation of the appliance.
*A slight sound may be heard when the appliance is first started due to the operation of the
compressor and motor. The sound will be lower and lower gradually a short period later.
*The temperature of the refrigerator and the compressor will rise and the compressor will
run for comparatively longer periods when the refrigerator is first started.

Caution:never place the refrigerator horizontally.
Moving the refrigerator
*Unplug the refrigerator.
*Remove all the food.
*Secure the shelves and the fresh food container with
the tape.
*Tightly close and tape the door of the refrigerator.
*Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45 degrees, thus
problems may be resulted to the cooling system.
During Vacations
*Remove the food from refrigerator if the vacation is short.
Turn the temperature selection knob to the proper position,
and make sure that the door of the refrigerator is properly
closed.
*If the vacation is long, take out the food from the refrigerator
and disconnect the power. Wait until the frost inside melts,
clean and dry the compartment. Leave the door open to
prevent formation of bad odor.

Power failure
Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrig-
erator for a few hours after a power failure.
*Don't put additional food into the refrigerator during a
power failure.
*If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some
ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage
compartment.
Caution:Temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the
event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.
Operation cessation
*If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug
the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previously
described.
*Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is
turned off to prevent any food remaining in the
compartment from producing bad odors.
Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off.
Caution:The refrigerator should never be restarted until a period of at least five
minutes has elapsed.

Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent
the formation of bad odors.
*Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
*Clean the refrigerator with soft towel or sponge wet with warm
water. (mild detergent)
Caution: Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other
solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.
Caution:Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator. Use
a dry cloth to clean the switch and the lamp.
*Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.
*Always keep the door gasket clean.

Defrosting the refrigerator
The refrigerator is designed for automatic defrost-
ing. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and
flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container
over the compressor on the back of the refrigera-
tor, where the heat generated by the compressor
will evaporate the water. It is normal for frost and
water droplets to form on the back wall of the
freezer.
Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure
the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the pin provided to clear any blockages.

Defrosting the freezer
* * Manual defrosting is required for the freezer. After
a period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the
evaporator in the freezer compartment. Additional
electricity will be consumed if this layer becomes too
thick.
* The defrosting process must be carried out when a
thick layer of frost has been formed on the evapora-
tor.
* Disconnect the power. Remove all the food and then
the drawers from the refrigerator before defrosting. A
bowl of hot water can be placed on the evaporator to
accelerate the defrosting process.
Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting.

CautionsCautions
CautionsCautions
Cautions
*Hot food should not be stored in the refrigerator until it
has cooled down to room temperature.
*Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be
easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight
for each portion is less than 2.5kg.
*The outside of any food packing should dried before
storage in the freezer, and any packing materials should
be odor-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
*Food should be stored in accordance with any
information printed on the packing.
*Only remove the required amount of food from the
refrigerator. Defrosted food cannot be re-stored in the
freezer unless it is first cooked.

Long-term storage of food
As the freezer storage temperature is very low, fresh food
can be stored in the freezer compartment for a long time.
Food requiring long-term storage can be stored in the
frozen food compartment. Attention should be paid to the
storage information printed on the food packing.

Making water-Ice
*Pour water into the water ice mould up to three-quarters
of the mould volume, and then place the mould in the
freezing compartment.
*Do not a use knife or other metal tools to take the ice out
of the mould.
*The ice can be easily removed by hand after the mould
has been placed in warm water for a short time.
Do not load excessive food
Quantity of fresh food to be loaded is subjected to the
capacity of the refrigerator. (refer to the requirements
on the nameplate)
