Safety precautions

English 15
Safety precautions
• If the temperature of the place where the refrigerator is located is lower than
the minimum temperature of the temperature range designed for refrigeration,
then the refrigerator may be unable to always work in normal conditions (the
temperature may be overhigh inside the refrigerator).
• Please do not 󰀬ore perishable food under low temperature in the refrigerator,
such as banana and melon.
• Your refrigerator produces no fro󰀬, which means that you do not need to
manually remove the fro󰀬 because the refrigerator itself can automatically defro󰀬.
• In the process of defro󰀬ing, rise of temperature is up to national 󰀬andard.
• Any temperature rise in the process of defro󰀬ing will shorten the 󰀬orage life
of the frozen food.
Energy saving tips
- In󰀬all the refrigerator in a cool, dry and well ventilated room.
Ensure the refrigerator will not directly expose under the sunshine and never
approach direct heat source (such as radiator).
- Do not block any ventilation hole or grid on the refrigerator.
- Do not put the hot food in the refrigerator until cooled.
- Unfreeze the frozen food in the fridge.
In this case, you may cool the food in the fridge with the low temperature of
the frozen food.
- When taking the food out, do not open the refrigerator door too long.
The shorter the refrigerator door is open, the less the fro󰀬 in the freezer will
be produced.
- Regularly clean the back of the refrigerator. Du󰀬 will increase energy
consumption.
- Do not set the temperature lower than the needed.
- Ensure enough air circulated at the bottom and back of the refrigerator.
Do not cover the air hole.
- At the time of in󰀬allation, ensure there are gaps on the left, right, back and top
of the refrigeration.
This will be conductive for reducing energy consumption and electric charge.
- In order to e󰀨ectively use energy, please assemble all interior accessories in the
position designated by the manufacturer, such as basket, drawer and shelf.

How to adju󰀬 the height of the refrigerator door
If any door is lower than the other, you may adju󰀬 them as follows:
• Prior to adju󰀬ment, please check whether the refrigerator has been leveled.
①
②
Method (I) as shown in the gure:
Insert the snap ring 1 between the
door and the hinge with a pincer to
adju󰀬 the height di󰀨erence of the
refrigerator doors.
After checking the height di󰀨erence,
please select a snap ring
which has a proper thickness.
Important information: You may only
insert one snap ring. Insertion of two
or more snap rings may cause the
snap ring to slide or produce abrasion
sound. Lift the lower door upward
and insert the snap ring into the gas
between the door and the hinge.
Method (II) as shown in the gure
(applied to RF50*58** Series):
Insert the allen wrench 2 of 4 mm into
the hold at the lower part of the hinge,
and then rotate the wrench clockwise
(to lower the door) or anticlockwise
(to raise the door).
Important information:
• Prior to rotating the wrench, please
take the articles on the bottle shelf
of the door out, then the wrench will
be easily turned.
Caution
• To avoid personal injury, please be careful to insert or extract the snap ring.
• Please keep the snap ring and wrench out of reach of children to ensure that
the children will not play with them or put them in the mouth.
