Haier Afd630ix Instruction For Use

							
Freezer storage precautions Hot food should not be stored in the
refrigerator until it has cooled down to
room temperature
Food cut into small portions will freeze
faster and be easier to defrost and cook.
The recommended weight for each portion
is less than 2.5kg.
Its better to pack food before putting it in
the freezer. The outside of the packing
must be dry to avoid bags sticking together.
Packing materials should be odor-free,
airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic. In order to avoid expiration, note the
freezing date, time limit and name of the
food on the packing.
Only take the required amount of food
from the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be
re-frozen unless it is first cooked. Do not load excessive quantities of fresh
food in the freezer. Refer to
 the cooling
capacity of the refrigerator.

Icemaker Installation Instructions Before using the icemaker
Cut the water pipe to desired length while ensuring it is free from excessive bends. Generally
the total length should not be more than 5m.  A longer pipe may reduce water pressure and, as a
result, reduce the water output flow-rate and ice-making capacity; The water pipe should be away from any heat sources as it is not heat-resistant;
The water pipe should be installed and tested by an Authorized Service  gent;
The icemaker should be connected to a water source of a pressure between 1.5PSI and 7PSI; Cleaning the ice cube tray
Deactivate the ice machine function on the
display panel.Take out the icemaker assembly.
Turn the icemaker assembly over ice cube tray will 
be visible underneath. Pull the elliptical fastener of the icemaker in
direction . Take out the ice cube tray in direction .After cleaning, re-install using reverse 
of direction above. Push the ice machine firmly into place, Close the
freezer door, and activate the ice machine function on the display panel.Precautions
Never install the icemakers water tube in an area with the ambient temperature below 0 to
avoid icing of water supply. The icemaker will start ice cube making when the internal temperature reaches or is
below -12 . (If the icemaker is used for the first time or after an extended period of vacation,
the first loads of cubed ice should be discarded as there maybe impurities in the water tube). After the appliance is installed, the water tube should be placed to prevent it from being
crushed. Installation of the icemaker can only be carried out by an Authorized Service Agent.
This icemaker can only be supplied with drinking water.
Operating principle of the icemaker
Eight(8) ice cubes are made in every cycle. The ice making capacity depends on
ambient temperature, door-opening frequency, water pressure, freezer temperature and other
conditions. To ensure that the storage box is fully filled with cubed ice, empty the cubed
ice into the drawer frequently.
It is normal that some of the cubes stick to each other.
(This can be improved by decreasing water supply duration). Note
For a newly installed refrigerator, please let the appliance operate for 24 hours
before making ice. If this is your first icemaker
Some “cracking” sounds may be heard in the process of ice making, its normal.
Cubed ice stored for an extended period may become opaque or emit an odor. Please empty
the cubed ice storage box regularly and clean it with warm water. Before putting the box back,
make sure to cool it down and to dry it. Otherwise cubed ices may stick to the box.
If you do not want to use the cubed ice storage box for an extended period
Turn the ice maker off by pressing J and then A2 on the panel.  Take out\
 all the cubed ice from
the storage box and wash the box with warm water. Wipe the box with a dry towel before
replacing it into the appliance. Turn off the valve between the water source and the appliance.
In order to use all of the available freezer storage compartment, the icemaker
assembly can be taken out permanently. If you do not use cubed ice frequently

Defrosting  and Cleaning Defrosting the freezer
The freezer defrosts automatically. No manual operation is needed.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent bad food
odours. For safety, unplug the power cord before cleaning the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water
(a mild detergent can be added). Dry water droplets on the refrigerator surfaces with a dry cloth. Use of the deodoriser(on some models)
The service life is from 5 to 6 years. But as the kind and
concentration of odours in each refrigerator varies due to different
operation condition and environment, we recommend you to set the
replacement cycle for 3 years.
After prolonged use, the deodoriser can be recharged in sunlight for
30 minutes to recover the deodorization effect. To clean, please rinse with slow water flow. The refrigerator is very heavy. When you are moving for installation of cleaning,
take care not to damage the floor. Keep the refrigerator upright during moving. Do
not move the refrigerator by rocking it to avoid damage to the floor. Do not spray or flush the refrigerator with water to avoid impact on its electrical
insulation. Do not clean with hard brush, wire brush, detergent powder, gasoline, amyl
acetate, acetone and similar organic solutions, or acid or alkaline solutions. Do not touch cold external surfaces with wet hands; otherwise your skin may stick
on the cold iron parts. When cleaning, do not clean the cold glass shelves with warm water. Otherwise
the glass may shatter due to sudden temperature change and cause injury or 
property loss. Note
Always keep the door gasket clean.

Interrupted use Power interruption
Even in summer, food may be stored in the refrigerator for a few
hours after a power interruption. If a power interruption occurs,
please call the power company to ask about the interruption
duration. Do not put additional food into the refrigerator during a power
interruption and try to open the door as few times as possible. If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption
duration is over 24hrs, make some ice and put it in a container in
the top of the fridge storage compartment. Note
As the temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or
other failures, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Suspended Operation
If the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, please unplug the power cord,
disconnect the water source, and clean it.Please ensure all food is removed from both fridge and
freezer compartment. Keep the refrigerator door open to prevent any food odours. Note
To ensure the service life of the refrigerator, it is recommended that the refrigerator
not be turned off unless it is necessary. Before leaving for a vacation
If leaving on an extended vacation, please disconnect the power and
water source, remove any food, wait for the frost to melt.
Clean and dry the interior, and keep the door open to prevent bad odours.
If room temperature is expected to  drop below 0   , please ask a
qualified service person to drain the water in the water supply
system.
Note: Serious property loss may be caused due to overflow of water
if the water pipe or joint breaks.
Moving the refrigerator Unplug the refrigerator.
Remove all food.
Secure the shelves and crisper in the fridge compartment as well
as the shelves and other movable parts in the freezer with adhesive
tape. Close the door and secure with adhesive tape.Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45 degrees (angle to vertical)
to avoid damaging the refrigerating system. Do not move the refrigerator by its handle to avoid property
damage or personal injury.
Never place the refrigerator down horizontally.

Troubleshooting Problems Causes Solutions
If you hear the following
Beeps The fridge storage
compartment door is open. The temperature in the
freezer is too high. Close the door or silence the alarm
manually. The alarm is normal when it is first started
due to relatively higher temperature. You can
silence the alarm manually.
Abnormal sound The refrigerator is not
located on a level surface. The refrigerator touches
some object around it. Adjust the feet to level the refrigerator.
Remove objects in contact with appliance.
Slight sound similar
to that of flowing
water This is the sound of the
refrigerating system No action required.
Heating of cabinet The de-condensation 
and refrigeration systems
is working. This prevents condensation and is normal.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances in unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection
facilities. Contact your local council for information regarding the collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. 25
