Changing the Light

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.

Starting

• Before the initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two hours before connecting it to the power supply.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the Upright freezer shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
•  Spare enough space for the convenient opening of the doors and drawers or statements by the distributor.

Energy-saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Maintenance and care of the appliance

Overall cleaning 

• Dust behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.

• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the freezer or contaminated food.
• Clean the baskets with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the freezer with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives(such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the freezer surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.

Please unplug the freezer for  defrost and cleaning

 Cleaning the glass shelf

• Remove the drawer on the glass shelf;

Defrosting

• Power off the refrigerator.
• Remove the food from the refrigerator and place it properly to prevent food from melting.
• Clear the drainpipe (to use soft materials to prevent damage to the liner), Prepare the water containers for defrosting.(pay attention to clean the compressor compartment water draining tray, Avoding overflow to the ground).
• You can use the natural temperature for the natural defrost, you can also use the ice shovel to eliminate the frost (to use plastic or wooden ice shovel, for avoiding damage to the liner or pipe)
• You can also use the appropriate amount of hot water to speed up the defrost, with a dry towel to dry the water after defrosting.
• After defrosting put back the foods in the cabinet, and power on the refrigerator.

Out of operation

Troubleshooting

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. If they cannot be solved. please contact the aftersales department.

Failed operation	Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well  contact Check whether the voltage is too low Check whether there is a power failure or  partial circuits have tripped
Odor	Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped Check whether there is any rotten food Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation of the compressor	Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature  is high It is not recommended to have too much food in the appliance at the same time Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance The doors are opened too  frequently
Light fails to get lit	Check whether the refrigerator is connected to the power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged
Doors cannot be properly closed Loud noise	The door is stuck by food packages The refrigerator is tilted
Loud noise	Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stably Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Door seal fails to be tight	Remove foreign matters on the door seal Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows	There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing	Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal. When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature and storage of too much food,it is recommended to provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Surface condensation	Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise	Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal. Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.
