9. REFRIGERATOR INSTRUCTION GUIDELINE

1. Do not open the refrigerator frequently or leave it open for a long time. This is to prevent water dripping
inside the refrigerator which will cause the waste of coolness and consumpting 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 over load and waste the storage space without necessity.
3. Adjust the temperature according to the actual operating condition for energy saving.
4. Do not refrigerate the bottles bigger than the door shelf or the tray as the door will not close completely,
which will cause the leakage of coolness.
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 the consumption
of the energy without necessity.
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 odor.
7. Clean the drain tray located over the compressor at the back of the refirgerator every 3 months to prevent
the odor 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.

prevent odor gets into the bottles.
