							About the fridge storage compartment
Please put the food to be stored for short period or for daily
consumption in the fridge storage compartment:
Although the average temperature in most areas in the fridge storage
compartment can be regulated between 0 and 10 , extended
period of food storage is not recommended. The fridge storage
compartment should only be used for short-term storage.
Adjusting shelf height
The shelf can be relocated to accommodate food size or height. To
adjust the height of a shelf, remove it first in this way: uplift its front
edge and then pull it out.
To install the shelf, put the dogs on both sides of the shelf on the
supporting ribs and push it to the most inward end.
Fruit & Vegetable box
Fresh control box
Disassemble of Clean the bottle
The refrigerator has a crisper. You can adjust the humidity inside it
according to the properties of the foods.
Turning the humidity control button rightward enables the
crisper to keep in a higher humidity suitable for cucumbers, grapes,
Chinese gooseberries, persimmons, etc.
Turning the humidity control button leftward enables the crisper
to keep in a lower humidity suitable for strawberries, oranges, beans,
garlic, watermelon, plums, tomatoes, etc.
The temperature in this box is kept at approx 0 , it may be slightly
changed due to the different ambient temperature or refrigerator
working style. It is suitable to store fresh fish, meat and cooked food
in 1~2 days.
To take out a bottle guard, uplift the bottle guards in direction and
grip both sides and pull it out in direction . After cleaning, install it

Notemake sure to keep the two ends of a shelf on the same level.
Otherwise it may fall or the food on it may dump.
Recommended storage areas for various foods
As cold air circulates inside the refrigerator, there is
temperature difference inside the fridge storage
compartment. Different foods should be placed in
different areas according to their properties.
Eggs, butter, cheese and etc.
Drinks, canned food and etc.
Seasonings and pickled food

							Fridge storage precautions
Hot foods must be cooled to room
temperature before storing in the refrigerator.Clean the food and dry any droplets on it
before placing in the refrigerator.
Food to be stored should be properly sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the food from
evaporating and prevent them from spoiling.Sorted storage of food.
Food to be stored should be sorted according
to their category. Food consumed daily should
be placed on the front part of the shelves. This
can avoid unnecessary delays in door opening
as well as expiration of the storage period
because you forgot to eat it.
Do not store excess quantities of food.
Food should be stored with spaces in between
them. This allows cold air to flow smoothly and
therefore obtain better storage results.Do not place the food too near to the inner
walls.
Do not store foods with high moisture content
clinging to the inner walls. Otherwise they may
freeze to the walls. Place food a little away
from the inner walls.
Avoiding food (especially oil food) contact with the inner liner directly, as oil can
erode the inner liner. So its better to clean the oily dirt whenever it is found.

							Tips on food storage in the fridge storage compartment
For turnip radish and other similar
vegetables, please cut off their leaves
before storage so as to prevent the
nutrition from being absorbed by the
leaves.Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage
compartment. In this way you can use the
frozen food to decrease the temperature in
the compartment and save energy.
Some vegetables, for example, onion,
garlic, ginger, water chestnut, and other
rhizomatic foods, can be stored for long
periods at normal temperature. There is no
need to store them in the refrigerator.The metabolism of vegetable marrow,
melons, pawpaw, banana, pineapple can
be quickened in the refrigerator, so it is not
suitable to store them in the fridge storage
compartment. But storing green fruits in
the refrigerator for certain periods can
promote its maturing.

							Freezer storage precautions
Hot food should not be stored in the
refrigerator until it has cooled down to
room temperatureFood 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 of storage
period, please note the freezing date, time
limit and name of the food on the packing
according to the storage periods of
different foods.
Only take the required amount of food
from the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be
re-frozen unless it is first cooked,
otherwise it may be less edible.Do not load excessive quantities of fresh
food in the freezer. It is better to refer to
the cooling capacity of the refrigerator.

							Defrosting ·Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer defrosts automatically. No manual operation is needed.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent bad stored food
odors.
For safety, unplug the power cord before cleaning the refrigerator.
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth or sponge with warm water (can
be added with mild detergent).
Dry water droplets on the refrigerator surfaces with a dry cloth.
Use of the cleaning filter (on some models)
The design service life is from 5 to 6 years. But as the kind and
concentration of odors in each refrigerator is uncertain due to different
operation condition and environment, we recommend you to set the
replacement cycle within 3 years.
After prolonged use, you can put it under sunshine for 30 minutes to
recover the deodorization effect. To clean, please use slow water flow.
The refrigerator is very heavy. When you are moving it for cleaning or repairs,
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 property.
Do not clean with hard brush, wire brush, detergent powder, gasoline, amyl
acetate, acetone and similar organic solutions, warm water or acid or alkaline
solutions. Please clean with special refrigerator detergent to avoid damage.
Do not touch the cold iron parts 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 break due to sudden temperature change and cause personal injury
or property loss.
Note
Always keep the door gasket clean.
