[. . . ] It must be noticed that refrigeration system contains refrigerants, which require specialized waste disposal. Contact your local waste disposal center for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact your local authority or your dealer if you have any question. Please ensure that the pipe work of your refrigerator does not get damaged prior to being picked up by the relevant waste disposal center, and contribute to environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate, anti-pollution method of disposal. please see the rating plate for the type of refrigerant and insulation used. [. . . ] Compressor starts operation, till interior temperature satisfies the settings. Setting temperature In order to adjust the setting of temperature regulator of freezer compartment, use the key supplied by the manufacturer and turn the temperature regulator clockwise or anticlockwise to a desired setting. To select a lower temperature: Turn clockwise To select a higher temperature: Turn anticlockwise Turn temperature regulator counterclockwise to the lowest setting=lightest cooling; (Turn the regulator counterclockwise to the most will power off the refrigerator, compressor will stop) Turn temperature regulator counterclockwise to the highest setting=coldest setting; Temperature setting should conform to the following conditions: Ambient temperature; Quantity of food stored; Door openings; Through observation, you'll soon learn how to select an appropriate temperature setting. Appropriate temperature setting is very important for food storing. Microbes can get food spoiled very quickly, unless there growth is sprouted by low temperature environment. It is recommended to set the temperature to 5°C or lower which may effectively eliminate food spoiling process by microbes. The higher the temperature regulator is set, the lower the temperature within the freezer will be. Normally, when food requires only short period of storage, select a medium setting. Normally, when food requires a long period of storage, select a high setting. Never add caned or bottled carbon dioxide drinks to the freezer, as carbon dioxide may expand when under freezing, and lead to explosion hazard. Bottled food which needs immediate cooling should be stored in the freezer for no more than one hour before they're taken out, otherwise bottles may burst. When ice cubes are ready, flush the ice tray with running water, then, you can easily take out the ice cubes. Making ice cream: Remove separators of the ice tray.

It could be needed for after-sales service or relevant processes. Make sure water doesn't get into electric parts in the refrigerator. Condenser, is mounted on the back of refrigerator, dust and lint should be removed regularly to enable efficient heat dissipation and avoid excessive power consumption. Use a soft brush or a duster to clean the outside of heat exchanger. [. . . ] D) The freezer compartment is too warm and frozen foods are thawed Is the ambient temperature too low?(If so, the refrigerating unit will malfunction, resulting in higher temperatures in the freezer compartment. If some food gets frozen to the inner walls, try to remove it with a blunt instrument such as a spoon handle. defrost and clean the freezer compartment (see "Defrosting"). [. . . ]
