CAUTION
Refrigerant decides the refrigeration of refrigerator
and it is filled into the refrigerator with special process.
Ensure the piping behind refrigerator is undamaged.
Small amount of high-temperature,
environmental protected Isobutane
refrigerant and gas is included in the
refrigerator, but they are also very
flammable. Handle the refrigerator carefully to ensure
the refrigerant system is not damaged during
transportation and installation of this unit.
The refrigerant leaked from the piping may be ignited
or cause injury to the eyes. If refrigerant leakage is
found, fire or potential fire source shall be avoided and
ventilate the room where the refrigerator is for
several minutes.
The room size for refrigerator shall be determined
according to the quantity of refrigerant in the
appliance to avoid that the refrigerant leaked from
piping circuit is mixed with the air to
generate flammable mixture.
The room size for the appliance shall be calculated
according to 8g of refrigerant type R600a per cubic
meter. Refer to the instruction in the refrigerator for
the details of refrigerant quantity in the unit.
Do not start up refrigerator if there is any damage in
the unit. Please contact dealer or service center for
any query.
If there is abnormal noise, odor or smoke, pull out

TROUBLESHOOTING
The refrigerator does not work at all or can not chill The front corners and sides are equipped with heat
sufficiently
radiator. It is normal to be hot.
•
Check that the power plug is properly connected. •
•
Check that the power plug fuse has not blown. 。
•
•
Is the temperature control set to the proper temperature?
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat
source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall?
•
The food in fridge is frozen
• Is the temperature control set to the proper temperature?
•
Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you put food with a high water content near the
•
coldest part of the fridge.
•
You can hear abnormal noise or sound
•
• Check that the floor is level and stable.
• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?
•
Has anything dropped behind or under the appliance?
•
•
Is the noise from the compressor in the appliance?
•
• A "ticking" sound may be heard from inside the
appliance, but this is normal. It is caused when the
•
various accessories contract or expand.
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF REFRIGERATOR SILENCE
The refrigerator runs through compressor and lowers the temperature inside by the procedures such as refrigerant
circulation to ensure the freshness and nutrition of the food inside the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is running, you
may hear some slight sounds. Please take it easy because it is normal and will not have any influence on the refrigerator
application.
Slight "humming" sound
When the compressor is running, the startup sound is slight
high. High-efficient refrigerator has higher sound due the
strong working capacity of the compressor.
Air or Water flow Sound
The temperature inside the refrigerator can be lowered
quickly when refrigerant is flowing in the pipes. There are two
kinds of refrigerants, gas and liquid. Slight sound may be
heard during its flowing.
"Clattering" Sound
When starting and stopping the refrigerator, the electrical
components such as main control panel, startup breaker
and heat protector give off "Clattering" sounds because of
being constantly on or off.
15
The front corner of refrigerator is equipped with frost device to
prevent condensation.
Both sides of the refrigerator are equipped heat pipes and it is
normal to be hot.
There is some condensate water inside the refrigerator,
which is normal.
Condensation can result of leaving the door open too long or
storing unwrapped food with a high water contact when outside
temperature and humidity are high.
There is odor inside the refrigerator
You did not wrap food with a strong smell properly or you have
left something in the refrigerator too long.
Always wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight.
Always throw always the food that has gone off.
Frost forms on the wall of the freezer
Is air inlet/outlet blocked?
Always allow sufficient space between the food items for
efficient air circulation.
Is the door closed properly?
Slight "Whishing" Sound
A fan is installed inside the refrigerator to improve air
circulation. When the fan is running, it will gives off the sounds
of air flow and motor running. In the other hand, the fan
running can ensure that the temperature inside can be
decreased rapidly and evenly, which have great impact on
keeping food fresh and nutritional; on the other hand, the fan
running can increase the cooling effects of the refrigerator.
Frost Crack Sound and "Pooping" Sound
When the refrigerator is running, due to the variation of
temperature differences, the food is frost cracked or
evaporator and pipe line gives off "pooping" sound due to
hot expansion and cold contraction.
