Troubleshooting
1. Do not open the refrigerator frequently or leave it open for a long time. This is to prevent
water dripping inside the refrigerator and will cause the waste of coolness and consumption
of energy.
2. Do not refrigerate unnecessary items or hard-to-rot foodstuff such as pumpkin, shallot,
garlic, potato as it will make the refrigerator to work overload and waste the storage space
without necessity.
3. Adjust the temperature according to the actual operating condition for energy saving.
4. Do not refrigerate bottles bigger than the door shelf or the tray as the door will not close
completely causing coolness to leak.
5. Frequently check the door opening seal, it must be closed to the refrigerator’s body
completely. Do not leave the seal dirty or damaged or deteriorated as the coolness will leak
and will cause unnecessary consumption of energy.
6. If you will not be at home for several days or there are nothing refrigerated in the
refrigerator, the plug should be disconnected for energy saving, In this case, clean the
refrigerator and leave it half-open to prevent bad odour.
7. Clean the drain tray located over the compressor at the back of the refrigerator every three
months to prevent the odour generated from humidity.
8. Energy saving dryer pipes and heating pipes embedded around the refrigerator cabinet are
helping to prevent “condensation” on the outer surface of the cabinet without consuming
energy.
This will make the outer wall of the refrigerator get warm and that is not a malfunction.
9. Drinking water bottles, beverage bottles such as soft drinks and fruit juices should be
sealed closely to prevent odour to get into the bottles.

Vapor generated inside and outside the cabinet.
* Condensation may appear on the surface of cabinet when humidity is high, e.g. during
