2.4 Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similar qualied person.
2.5 Starting
•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.
•Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and
drawers or statement by the distributor.
2.6 Energy saving tips
•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.
•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.
•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.
•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 ecient.
•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.
