Refrigerator
Model: HS-65L

1
General
This refrigerator is widely used in places such as hotels ,offices,
student dormitories and houses. It is small size, lightweight,
low electric consumption and easy use, most suitable for
refrigerating and preserving foods such as fruits and beverage.
Instructions for Installation
1.Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 450form upright during
moving. Do not apply force on any part such as condenser
and door to prevent the refrigerator from deforming as this
can influence its performance.
2.Allow the refrigerator enough space to operate well.
3.Do not install it in areas of high temperature or humidity to
avoid damage.
Cautions for Safety
1.Before the refrigerator is plugged in, ensure that the local
electric voltage (e.g. 240V) is the same as the rated voltage.
The power plug should have its independent socket as
adapter may cause the socket to overheat.
2.Do not store inflammable materials such as ether, benzine,
LP gas and glue etc. in the refrigerator.
3.Do not splash water on the refrigerator as it may cause
malfunction or electric shock.
Instructions for Use
1.When operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it
without loading any food until it automatically stops at the
desired temperature. Usually it takes 2 or 3 hours. Then, set
the thermostatic dial at the setting desired and put food in the
refrigerator.

2.The temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted by
turning the thermostatic dial. A medium setting of the
thermostatic dial is the most suitable for general operation.
3.Defrost the freezing compartment whenever the layer of frost
on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When
defrosting, remove all food and set the thermostat at “OFF”
position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect
melted water. After the frost has melted, discard the melted
water and dry up the interior of refrigerator. The refrigerator
can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired
setting.
Cautions for Use
1.The more food is put in or the more and the longer the door
is opened, the more electric it consumes, which may
eventually lead to malfunction.
2.Better not to place objects which are too heavy, pointed or
corrosive on table board.
3.Re-plugging in the power plug at the interval of over ten
minutes.
4.Do not store bottled drinks in the freezer as they may break
and damage the refrigerator.
5.Open the door as little as possible during power-cut.
6.When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to
remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will
damage the evaporator.
7.Do not touch any food or container in the freezing
compartment with your wet hands to prevent frostbit.

Maintenance
1.While cleaning the refrigerator, pull out the electric power
plug. Wipe the refrigerator carefully with a piece of cloth
soaked with natural cleanser before wiping it with clean
water. Abrasive cleaning powder, alkali cleansers, chemical
cloth, thinner, alcohol, acid petroleum product and hot water
are not suitable for cleaning the refrigerator as they may
cause permanent damage to the painting cover and plastic.
2.Clean the door gasket whenever it is dirty.
3.If the refrigerator is out of use for a long time, pull out the
plug, clean and dry the freezing compartment then close the
door tightly.
The following cases are not malfunction
1. Sound of flowing water:
The sound of flowing water can be heard under normal
operation.
2. Outside condensation:
Outside condensation is normal in areas of high humidity.
You may wipe off the condensation with a cloth.
3.It takes some time for the temperature of the freezer and
refrigerator compartment to become cold after the
refrigerator starts to operate. If the environmental
temperature is higher, it will take a longer time to cool the
compartments.
4. The surface of the compressor becomes hot:
The surface of the compressor may become hot under
normal operation. Do not touch it with your hands.

For household refrigerating appliances, in normal temperature
conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh
foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean
the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always
clean free of dust or any impurities.
Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and
Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
