Electrical Connection

  WARNING

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with the standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

This refrigerator appliance requires a standard 220-240VAC 50/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

This refrigerator appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

Climate Range
The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is, room temperature, in which the appliance is working) the operation of the appliance is optimal (proper).

Note：Given the limit values of the ambient temperature range for the climate classes for which the refrigerating appliance is designed and the fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors, if appropriate.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Locks (if available)
If your Refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent children being entrapped. When disposing of an old Refrigerator, break off any old locks or latches as a safeguard.

Product Features

• Electronic temperature control
• Reversible door

Due to technological innovation, the descriptions of the product in this manual may not be completely consistent with your refrigerator. Details are in accordance with the material item.

Preparations for use

Installation location

1. Ventilation condition
   The position you select for the refrigerator installation should be well-ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the refrigerator near a heat source such as cooker, boiler, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not locate the refrigerator in the damp place, so as to prevent the refrigerator from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of the total space of the room in which the refrigerator is installed being divided by the refrigerant charge amount of the refrigerator shall not be less than 8 g/ M3.
   Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the refrigerator can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
   When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 300mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.
   Level ground
   Place the refrigerator on the solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to vibration and noise. When the refrigerator is placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates should be applied underneath the refrigerator, so as to prevent color change due to heat dissipation.

Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an embedded structure.

Preparations for use

1. Standing time
   After the refrigerator is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make sure to energize the refrigerator after more than 1 hour of standing, so as to ensure its normal operation.
2. Cleaning
   Confirm the accessory parts inside the refrigerator and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
   Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
   After the refrigerator runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the refrigerator will be automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. After the refrigerator is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools down).

If the refrigerator is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the refrigerator contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the refrigerator away from the wall. Setting up the refrigerator may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television set surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible in such case.

Functions

Temperature setting:
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by the control panel mounted in the fridge compartment.

1. Under the normal operating condition (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set at Mode 5-8.
2. In summer when the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended to set at Mode 2-4, so as to guarantee the fridge and freezer temperatures by extending the refrigerator running time; and in winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set at Mode 2-4 to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerator.
3. Fast Cool: When this function is enabled, the fridge temperature and the freezer temperature can be reduced rapidly at the same time, so that foods can be kept in fresh condition with their nutrition not lost. The maximum running time of the fast-cool function is 26 hours, after which, the refrigerator will be restored to its previous mode that is set before the fast-cool function is enabled.

Note: If the indicator light ‘2’ or ‘5’ gets flickering, it indicates that the refrigerator has broken down. Please contact the after-sales personnel for on-site service as soon as possible.

Instructions for food storage

Precautions for use

• The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors should be made.
• Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low temperature compartment, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.

Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas.

The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc.

The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.

Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time in the fresh food compartment.

Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. (For the two-section shelf, push the first section to the rear end, and then pull the second section out). Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.

Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.

Cautions for food storage
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.

Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.

Categorized storage of foods：Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.

Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.

Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.

The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.

• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions
• You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.

Tips for shopping the frozen foods

1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”, found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.

Tips for Water dispenser (if available)
The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which makes it easier to fill your cup of water and have access to cold water almost immediately. The water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of water which has to be filled out. To use water dispenser, follow the instructions below:

1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the water dispenser fixed well.
2. Open the filler cover of the water tank, slowly fill the water tank to prevent any spills until the tank is filled. Then close the filler cover of the water tank. See image C.
3. Once the water tank is full, set the thermostat at the lowest mode or the Fast Cool mode, and one hour later you can dispense water for drinking. See image D.
4. When using the water dispenser, some water may drip and accumulate at the bottom of the water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth when necessary.
5. The maximum fill must be lower than the tank cover as indicated by the maximum fill line

NOTE：Don’t take away the cup until no waterdrop.

Tips for special needs

Moving the refrigerator/freezer

• Location
Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.

• Leveling
Make sure to level your refrigerator/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the refrigerator/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it may lead to the operating failure of your refrigerator/freezer.

After locating the refrigerator/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time

• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
• Take out all foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning

The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a month. Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral detergent. Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the refrigerator often. After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.

Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to avoid damage.

Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.

Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system

• Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
• Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible, in this way can food safely and freshly kept for hours even in hot summer.
• If you get the power outage notice in advance：

1. Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
2. You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food to be stored.

Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you’d better use it continuously; and under normal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.

Defrosting

After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment inner wall (or evaporator) surface, which may affect the refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of drawers and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to remove the frosts in a timely manner. Follow the following steps to remove frosts:

1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the refrigerator door, and gently remove the frosts from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the thawing process, you are suggested to place a bowl of hot water inside the refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.

Changing the lamp
The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for lighting, which features low energy consumption and long service life. In case of any abnormality, please contact the after-sales personnel for visiting service. The lamps can only be replaced by the manufacturer, together with a part of the appliance

Safety-check after maintenance

VENTILATION

Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in an open space with a good airflow around it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose.

• Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be reduced.
• Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.
• Avoid the hose making U-shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.
• Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that may have collected in it.

The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

– have eliminated metallic objects such as barrettes, pins, coins, from laundry;
– to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
– to have removed rollers from curtains;
– to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
– to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid centrifuging.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed and marked by the “Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavily soiled laundry only!
  SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
  Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

Drawer cleaning

• We recommend you clean the drawer to avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.
• To do this, extract the drawer using slight force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.

Filter cleaning

• The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.
• Only available on certain models: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop in the vertical position.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• Should the washing machine be stored in an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from tubes.
• Unplug the washing machine.
• Detach the tube from the strap and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
• Secure the drain tube with the strap when finished.

5. QUICK USER GUIDE

7. CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE AND WARRANTY

If you believe the washing machine is not working correctly, consult the quick guide provided below with some practical tips on how to fix the most common problems.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

– cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.

– white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.

– foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.

– abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact the Hoover Customer Service Centre.

Dirty Water Tank (lower tank)

The Dirty Water Tank holds the dirty solution that is picked up from the surface being cleaned. When the Dirty Water Tank is full, the automatic shut-off will engage, suction will stop and the tank must be emptied (see Automatic Shut-Off section).

How to Empty

• Turn cleaner off and unplug from electrical outlet.
• To prevent possible leaking, remove clean water tank by pressing down on tank handle and pulling forward; set tank aside (do not set tank on furniture).
• 2.14 Turn Dirty Water Tank latches (G) outward (one on each side of tank). Raise handle straight up and lift tank off cleaner. Carry tank to sink or drain.
• 2.15 Lower handle toward back of tank to unlock lid. Lift lid off tank.

Empty tank and reposition lid. For full suction, it is important that the Dirty Water Tank lid is properly secured before cleaning. Raise tank handle to carrying position and place it onto cleaner. Lower handle to front of tank. Turn latches (one on each side of tank) inward to lock tank in place.

IMPORTANT
Make sure the tank handle is moved forward to lock the tank lid before putting cleaner in upright position. Failure to secure properly may result in damage to the tank handle and may cause poor suction.

Automatic shut off

• When the Dirty Water Tank (lower tank) is full the automatic shut off mechanism will shut off the cleaner suction (suction will be noticeably reduced).
• 2.16 At that time, the yellow float disk will rise to the top of the Dirty Water Tank lid (B). The cleaner will no longer pick up dirty solution and the motor sound will become noticeably higher in pitch.
• When this happens, turn cleaner off and empty Dirty Water Tank before continuing use.
• Check clean water tank also; it may need to be refilled.
• Do not use without float and float retainer in place. If broken or dislodged, take to an Authorized Dealer for repair

How to CLEAN

Before you begin cleaning

• Vacuum thoroughly – For carpet, use a HOOVER® vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results. Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
• For upholstery, check cleaning code – Use your HOOVER® carpet cleaner only if the upholstery fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for “solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Do not clean fabric marked “S” (“solvent/dry” clean only). If your upholstery does not have a code, seek professional assistance.
• Test for colorfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the detergent. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one color, check all colors.
• When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high traffic areas are to be cleaned). For furniture too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.
• Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with HOOVER® Spot & Stain Spray Cleaner*- Follow Directions on bottle.
• To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
• To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/ carpet to a non-wood hard floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g. plastic) underneath them before cleaning.
• Available at additional cost if not included with your model.

Picking up spills

• Your HOOVER® SteamVac® cleaner may also be used to pick up small liquid spills on carpet or uholstery.
• For best results, pick up spills immediately by placing the stair/upholstery nozzle just above the spill and suction up any residue on top of the carpet.
• If the spill remains, place either the stair/ upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle with the SpinScrub® mode selector to SPILL PICK-UP in front of the spill, pull the nozzle very slowly over the spill initially with suction only. Repeat with spray and suction.
• If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is generally more effective for removing it. Although no cleaning solution can completely remove all spots, they can be treated by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery, or hard floor surface being cleaned.
• Do not use the SteamVac® cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids or chemicals.
• When finished, follow “After Cleaning” instructions

After cleaning

• Allow carpet or upholstery to dry. To help prevent matting and resoiling the carpet, keep children and pets away from surface until it is completely dry. If it is necessary to walk on damp carpet, place towels or white cloths on the traffic areas.
• If furniture must be replaced before the carpet is dry, place plastic or aluminum foil under legs of furniture so metal slides or wood finishes will not stain the carpet.
• Empty tanks, rinse with clean water and let air dry.
