When the refrigerator door keeps open for more than 3 minutes, the buzzer starts issuing alarms, which can be
suspended for 3 minutes by pressing any key, but they will not be stopped until the said door gets closed.
1.4 Power-cut memory
In case of power failure, the refrigerator will maintain the operating state before power failure when power supply is
restored.
1.5 Power-on delay
In order to protect the refrigerator compressor from being damaged in the case of short-time power failure (i.e., less than 5
minutes), the compressor will not be started immediately after it is powered on.
1.6 Defrosting
The refrigerator can defrost automatically or manually.
When the refrigerator is not defrosting, the automatic defrosting program can be enabled by holding down the SET key for
15s, with all the mode indicator lights illuminated, refrigeration stopped, and defrost heating started. During the defrosting
process, you can hold down the SET key for 3s to stop defrosting manually, or wait until the defrosting program gets exited
automatically.
In order to avoid frequent defrosting actions of the refrigerator, do not access to the defrost function during the defrosting
process; and make sure not to enable the defrost function again within 10 minutes after it is manually disabled.
1.7 Fault alarm
When the alarm indicator keeps flashing (with the corresponding indicator light of “-16, -20, -24, or fast freezing” flickering
simultaneously), it indicates fault with the refrigerator. Please contact the aftersales person for visiting service in such
case.
Instructions for food storage
Food storage locations
Shelf:
When taking the shelf out, lift it upwards, and then pull it out; when installing the shelf, make sure to place it into
position before putting it down.
Crisper box (drawer)
: You can pull out the drawer for access to foods.
Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold
air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the
shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the
water-rich foods too close to the refrigerator rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Freezer mode
：
Long-term storage of foods:
The freezer compartment, where the temperature is generally controlled below -18
℃
, is
suitable for the preservation of foods for a long term, but the shelf life indicated on the food packages should be abided by.
Freezer drawer:
Used for the frozen food storage; For the mass pieces of meat or fish, cut them into smaller ones, pack
them up separately with the fresh-keeping bags, and distribute them evenly in the drawer.
Fast freezing
(1)
Refer to the description about fast freezing function in the “Function” section.
(2)
Compared with the normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass through the maximum ice crystal formation
zone at the fastest speed. Fast freezing can freeze the food water content into fine ice crystals, without damaging the
cell membrane, so cell juice will not be lost when thawing, and the original freshness and nutrition of food can be
maintained.
(3)
The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve nutrition of the frozen food, with the food thoroughly frozen in the
shortest time. Fast freezing consumes more energy than the normal freezing does.
★
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
★
Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid
burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
★
Divide the food into appropriately small portions
★
You‟d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are
frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air
and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item
of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”,
found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don‟t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most
supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or
steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for
them to freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature
control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the
food freshness well kept.
