Operation
Door Alarm•When the door of the fridge is left opened for a while, the
alarm sounds. Please contact with the local service center if
warning continue to sound even after closing the door.
Ice Making• Fill water in ice making box of the ice making corner. If
water is fully filled the ice will not be separated well and
water can be dropped to make ice lumped.
• Ice will be dropped into the ice storage bin by rotating ice
separation handle of ice making compartment.

frozen may cause the remaining water drop into the
ice storage bin to lump the ice together.

Defrosting• The refrigerator uses an automatic defrosting system.
Frost, forming on the back wall of the compartment
melts,  when the Cyclically working compressor is
switched off,  and turns to water drops. Melt water runs
down to the drain tray, gets to the container in the
compressor through the tube. It is necessary (at least once
in 3 months) clean the drain hole to ensure unobstructed
drainage of melt water to the container.

Suggestions on food storage
 Caution
Storing Food
•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
•Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.
•When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
•Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
•Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
•Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
•Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
•Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
•Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific
materials or other temperature sensitive products in the
refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls must
not be stored in the refrigerator.
 
						

							
 Caution•Freezer Door Basket, marked           is -12°C
compartment, that is suitable for sort term storage of
frozen food.
•If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle
drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the
Express Freezer button.
