CARE & MAINTENANCE
NON-FAULT INSTANCES
DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
• The refrigerator compartment has automatic defrosting function. Frost changes
into water and will be collected on water plate where the water will be
vaporized by heat from the compressor.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Always remove the power plug from the power supply before cleaning
• Ensure water does not enter the door lamp box during cleaning
• Clean the exterior with a soft towel with water or neutral cleaning agents.
• Clean the door seal with water only and dry thoroughly. For easy cleaning, remove the door seal from the door.
• Regularly clean the water plate and drainage outlet of the refrigerator compartment to ensure optimum defrosting
function.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as tooth paste, acid, or alcohol-based solvents.
MAXIMIZING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as radiator,
cooker.
• Alternatively, use an insulating plate.
• Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before storing inside the refrigerator.
• Thaw frozen food by placing it into the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will then
cool the food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Defrost and clean the appliance when there is much frost on the refrigerant tube.
• Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to reduce power consumption.
IMPORTANT!
WHAT TO DO DURING A POWER FAILURE:
1. Open the refrigerator door as briefly as possible. You are advised not to open the refrigerator door frequently
during a power failure.
2. Do not store new food inside the refrigerator to prevent temperatures from rising inside the refrigerator
compartments.
IMPORTANT!
1. Set the temperature at COLD position for low temperature inside compartments.
2. Place ice cubes onto the top of the refrigerator compartment.
REPLACING THE REFRIGERATOR LAMP
1. Turn off the power supply, disassemble the lamp manually by hand.
2. Contra rotate the lamp and remove the lamp.
3. Clockwise circumvolve new lamp into the lamp holder. (Note: lamp should not exceed 10W screw-base lamp.)
NON-FAULT INSTANCES
• Frost appearing on the outer surface of the refrigerator
– High humidity in air caused this. Just wipe off frost.
• Frost appearing on the back of the refrigerator compartment
– The refrigerant tube is close to the back of the refrigerator compartment and the temperature nearby is lower and
cause frost. This is normal.
– Automatic defrost is activates after the refrigerator compartment stops operating.
• High temperature on the door frame of the freezer compartment
– This is a special measure to prevent icing around the door.
• High temperature at the lateral sides
– The condenser is located inside the upper surface of the lateral sides. The condenser emits heat during normal
operation.
– In summer, the lateral temperature is around 50 .
• High temperature on the compressor
– During normal operation, the temperature on the compressor is about 80 .
• Water sounds inside the refrigerator
– The refrigerant is flowing through the refrigerant tube during normal operation.
• Clicking sounds is heard inside the refrigerator
– Because of temperature changes, the interior of the refrigerator and refrigerant tube contracts and expands during
normal operation.
• The compressor is not working
– The voltage is too low. It is recommended to install a voltage regulator with power capacity of 500W or higher.
• Buzzing sound is heard
– The compressor vibrates during normal operation.
– The refrigerator will vibrate and emit noises if the feet are not adjusted or aligned correctly on vertical and stable
surfaces. Adjust the feet correctly.
• It takes a long time for the refrigerator to operate
– In summer, the ambient temperature is high. It is normal that the compressor starts frequently.
• Higher power consumption than the specified rating parameter
– The rating parameter is from the test. Test conditions are based on 25 ambient temperature, 5 in the refrigerator
compartment, -18 in the freezer compartment, without opening the doors and continuous operation for 24 hours.
Higher ambient temperature will be recorded If there is more food inside the refrigerator, or when the refrigerator
is ajar, leading to actual higher power consumption.
