y Ice and frost form on the surface of evaporator during

operation. A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat

insulation and hinders thermal conduction.

y Defrost the freezer compartment in the shortest time

possible to avoid thawing of frozen foods.

y Do not remove the ice or frost in the freezer

compartment with a sharp or pointed item. Otherwise

the evaporator surface may get damaged.

y Wipe off defrost water from time to time with sponge.

y Place a container of hot water (do not use boiling water)

near the door of freezer compartment to speed up the

defrosting process.

y Dry the freezer compartment and place the frozen food

back.

y Reconnect the refrigerator after defrosting.

y Start up the refrigerator by adjusting the temperature

control knob.

y Close the door of freezer compartment.

12. Problem Diagnosis

The latest manufacture techniques and state-of-the-art

refrigeration and freezing technology are adopted to

ensure safe and reliable operation of your appliance. In

doubt of fault, make sure to check first as described below

before making a service call:

Things to be noted:

The compressor (also known as refrigerating unit) doesn’t

operate all the time without stop.

The compressor is controlled by the automatic

temperature regulator represented by a temperature dial.

When the interior temperature exceeds the preset

temperature, the compressor starts automatically and

when the interior temperature falls below the present

temperature, the compressor stops automatically.

It’s normal that compressor makes noise during operation.

The noise comes from the motor. The flow of refrigerant

through the refrigerating system may make a gurgling

noise. These noises don’t mean a fault of the refrigerator.

The exterior surface may be wet when it’s cold and the

ambient temperature is low. It’s normal and the exterior

surface will become dry as the ambient temperature rises.

If the reasons of such phenomena can’t be identified and

solved, please consult the service center.

13. Troubleshooting

a) Problem: Refrigerator does not operate (does not

work)

Please check:

y Is the power cord in good condition? Is the refrigerator

properly plugged in the outlet?

y Is there a power interruption? (Use a small appliance to

check out, e.g. agitator or hair dryer)

y Is the refrigerator started up? (The temperature dial

should not be set at “0”.)

y Is the fuse broken? Or in poor contact?

b) Problem: The inner compartment is not cool

enough; the compressor cycles on and off

frequently;

Please check:

y The refrigerator/freezer compartment should stand still

for at least 2 hours after installation to stabilize the

refrigerant circulation system. See “Start-up”. If it

doesn’t work, unplug the refrigerator and tilt the

refrigerator to one side for a while or place it on an

inclined plane and then place it to the original position.

Connect the refrigerator after 2 hours. Keep the door(s)

closed for 12 hours.

y Is the door properly closed? If so, the door gasket

should press on the external cabinet securely and

evenly.

Test: It should be difficult to pull out a piece of paper

caught up between the door gasket and the external

cabinet.

If the paper slips away easily, consult the service

center.

y If there is thick ice in the freezer compartment. (See

“Cleaning and Maintenance”)

y Is the refrigerator exposed to direct sunshine or near a

heat source (oven, radiator, etc.)?

What to do: Do not expose the refrigerator to direct

sunshine; keep the refrigerator away from any heat

source; install a thermal barrier between the

refrigerator and the heat source (see “Location”).

y Is the inner compartment overloaded?

y Is the room well ventilated? Is the air vent obstructed?

Is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the back

covered by dust?

c) The temperature of refrigerator compartment is

too low

Please check:

y Is the temperature regulator properly set?

y Is the door of freezer compartment properly closed?

y Is there a lot of fresh food (more than 1kg) in the

freezer compartment? (If the freezer compartment

operates for long periods, the temperature of

refrigerator compartment falls accordingly.)

d) The freezer compartment is too warm and frozen

foods are thawed

y Is the ambient temperature too low? (If so, the

refrigerating unit will malfunction, resulting in higher

temperatures in the freezer compartment.)

What to do: Raise the ambient temperature.
