Important
If food stored in the compartment is defrosted, e.g. due to a power failure, it should be consumed
within a short time even if not completely thawed.
Ice
The appliance is supplied with an ice tray to make ice. If the ice tray freezes onto the compartment,
never use metal and/or sharp objects to detach the tray from the compartment.
Defrosting food
For optimal cooking results with frozen food, we recommend defrosting inside the refrigerator or at
ambient temperature, the latter obviously required less time. If you need to save time and cook food
in the shortest time, you can cook small items directly from frozen by lengthening the cooking time
slightly or put the big size items in a microwave oven to reduce defrosting time.
The care required for best performance, such as
1) Loadings in the refrigerating appliance should not exceed its storage volume
2) If the refrigerating appliance stopped for a long time (due to interruption of power supply or failure
of the refrigerating system), the frozen food (fresh food) had better to be disposed of according to
user’s need.
3) It is better to arrange the food when storage, to avoid cross-contamination.
4) Some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold; therefore they are not suitable for
storage in chill compartment.
Defrosting the appliance
Frost on the inner cooling walls of the refrigerator is eliminated automatically every time the motor
compressor is shut down. Water from melted frost is collected by means of a channel which leads to
a water tray installed above the motor compressor at the rear of the unit. Heat generated by the motor
compressor ensures evaporation of the water. Periodically clean the defrost water drain outlet in the
refrigerator compartment. Frost should be removed from the freezer compartment once it reaches a
thickness of over 3-4mm. Never use metal objects to remove the ice as it could damage the appliance.
Refrigerator Lamp (suitable for appliances with lamp)
The central section of the thermostat box is fitted with a lamp for internal lighting. If replacement is
required, disconnect the appliance from the power supply; remove the Lamp-chimney firstly, then to
unscrew the bulb at thermostat box. Replace with a bulb (E14, 10W max.) of the same voltage and the
same screw size. Replace the Lamp-chimney unit to complete the bulb replacement.
Prolonged periods of disuse
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time, set the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Then take out the foods, defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
