VI. Tips for special needs
Moving the refrigerator/freezer
•
Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from direct
sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
•
Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/freezer door
gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it may lead to the operating failure of your
refrigerator/freezer.
After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to
settle.
•Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time
•If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
•Take out all foods.
•Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have
the door removed if necessary.
•Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source, place the appliance
smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top of it.
•The unit should not be accessible to children for playing with.
VII. Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with a wet hand,
because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to avoid
rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not put your hands into the bottom of the refrigerator, since you
might get scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be cleaned regularly.
The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or
sponge dipped in warm water or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dust accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the refrigerator.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene,
gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket,
plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with cotton string. After
the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it segment by segment into the door
groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system:
•Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as
interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
•Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible, in this way food can safely and freshly be kept for hours even
in hot summer.
•If you get the power outage notice in advance
：
1)
Adjust the thermostat knob to the higher mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully frozen (Do not
store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the original setting when power supply
becomes normal in a timely manner.
2)
You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer, so as to extend
