WARNING OPERATING • To clean the refrigerator, follow these steps: 1. Unplug the power code of the refrigerator. 2. Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently. • Check if the power plug is properly connected. • Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the freezer or fridge to a colder temperature. • Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source? If so, it may not be able to cool sufficiently.
SOLUTION You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator. • This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator. There is a bad smell in the refrigerator. • Check for spoiled food. • Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered. • Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food. Frost forms on the walls of the freezer. • Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
