DEFROST
The heavy frost will influence the refrigerating effect and increase the energy consumption. Defrosting is
needed when the frost is as thick as 0.2 inch.
For manual defrosting, please follow these steps:
1. Take all the food and ice cube tray out of the compartments.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Defrosting may take several hours. Open the door to speed up the process.
4. Wipe out the water with dry cloth when defrosting is completed.
WARNING:
Do not use sharp objects to accelerate the defrosting process. It may destroy the compartment walls and
cooling system. This will void warranty.
POWER FAILURE
After power failure, the refrigerator is still able to store food for several hours.
1. After power failure, do not put additional food in the appliance and reduce the frequency of door opening.
Put some ice cubes in a container in the top part of the fridge if the power failure was known beforehand.
2.
Take out perishable food before short vacation. Close the door firmly. Take out all food and cut off
the power during long vacations.
3. Stop using if you don’t want to use the refrigerator for a long time. Unplug it and clean the appliance.
The door should be kept open in order to prevent unpleasant smell caused by food residuals.
ATTENTION:
Get rid of the door gasket before disposal. The disposed parts should be handled by professional staff, as
it may be harmful to the environment.
Under general conditions do not stop and restart the appliance frequently. After switching off the power,
please leave at least 5 minutes before resumption.
WARNING:
1. Do not splash water on the refrigerator, as it will cause oxidation and malfunction. Electronic
component such as On/off button should be kept dry.
2. Smear can damage the interior plastic component, so wipe it as soon as possible.
