Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document provides the instruction manual for a Galanz refrigerator, specifically models GLR10TBKF, GLR10TWEF, and GLR10TS5F. It outlines important safety warnings, installation procedures, operational instructions, maintenance tips, and troubleshooting advice to ensure proper use and safety of the appliance.

Function Description

The Galanz refrigerator is designed for household and similar applications, providing refrigeration and freezing capabilities for food storage. It features a two-door design with separate compartments for fresh food (refrigerator) and frozen food (freezer). The appliance utilizes R600a as a refrigerant, which is an inflammable substance, requiring careful handling during transportation and installation to avoid damage to the cooling system.

Key components of the refrigerator include shelves, a wind tunnel knob, a lamp and temperature control button, a crisper glass cover, a vegetable crisper, rods, cola bars, and bottle protectors. The design aims to optimize food storage and accessibility. The refrigerator is equipped with a "Frost Free" feature, meaning defrosting is executed automatically during operation, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The defrost water is vaporized by the heat of the compressor, with a drain tube that requires periodic cleaning.

Usage Features

The refrigerator offers several features to enhance user experience and energy efficiency:

• Temperature Control: The refrigerator's temperature can be manually controlled via a display. The display shows numbers (1 to 5), where a larger number indicates a lower interior temperature. The initial recommended setting is 3. Users can adjust the temperature by pressing the "SET" button, with each press increasing the state by 1. Once the highest state is reached, pressing the button again returns it to the first state. For the freezer compartment, a dedicated knob allows users to regulate the temperature by turning it towards "COLDER" for lower temperatures or "COLD" for higher temperatures. It is advised to wait 24 hours after any adjustment for the temperature to stabilize.
• Food Placement Guidelines: To ensure efficient air circulation and prevent odors, users should leave some space between items inside the refrigerator. Food should be stored in sealed packages to prevent drying out and odor transfer. Hot food must be cooled down before being placed in the appliance to avoid increasing interior temperature and energy consumption.
• Energy Saving Tips: To minimize energy consumption, users are advised to adjust the temperature control to the highest acceptable setting. Additionally, reducing the frequency of door openings can significantly lower electronic consumption. The manual also emphasizes keeping the combination of drawers, baskets, and shelves consistent with the original standard.
• Adjustable Legs: The appliance is equipped with two adjustable legs at the front bottom, which can be rolled clockwise to raise the machine and stabilize it on uneven surfaces. It is crucial to ensure the adjustable legs are firmly on the floor and the appliance is slightly sloped backward to ensure the doors close tightly.
• Reversible Doors: A significant feature is the ability to reverse the door opening direction (from right to left or vice versa). This provides flexibility in placement within different kitchen layouts. The manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for this process, requiring tools such as a Phillips screwdriver, a small screwdriver, and potentially an additional person for assistance. Users are strongly warned to unplug and disconnect the appliance before attempting this procedure.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the refrigerator:

• Cleaning: The appliance should be cleaned frequently. Before cleaning, always pull the plug out of the socket for safety.
  • Interior Maintenance: The interior should be cleaned with clean water or a neutral abluent, then scoured with clean water and wiped dry with a cloth.
  • Door Gasket Maintenance: Door gaskets are susceptible to damage from stains like oil and sauce, so they should be cleaned carefully.
  • Outer Maintenance: The exterior can be wiped with a dry cloth to remove dust and cleaned with a neutral abluent if necessary.
• Defrosting: The refrigerator features an automatic defrost system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The defrost water is channeled to a vaporization plate and evaporated by the compressor's heat. It is important to keep the drain tube clean. Users are explicitly warned against using mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Power Failure Management: In the event of a power failure, the refrigerator can store food normally for several hours. To maximize this period, users should avoid adding more food and reduce door openings. Making ice beforehand and placing it at the top of the fridge can also help.
• Vacation Preparation: For short vacations, easily perishable food should be removed, and the door should be closed firmly. For long vacations, all food should be removed, the power cut off, and the appliance defrosted and cleaned. The liner should be wiped dry, and the door left open to prevent unpleasant odors.
• Long-Term Storage: If the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, it should be unplugged, cleaned thoroughly, and the door left open to prevent odors from food remnants.
• User Notifications:
  • Avoid splashing water on the refrigerator, especially on electronic components like the on/off button, which should be wiped dry.
  • Do not use harsh cleansers such as soap powder, abrasive cleaning powder, alkali cleansers, chemical cloth, thinner, alcohol, acid petroleum products, or hot water, as these can damage the painted cover and plastics.
  • Any smears on interior plastic components should be wiped off immediately.
  • After maintenance, users should check for damage to the electronic wire, ensure the plug fits securely into the socket, and verify that the plug is not overheating.
  • When disposing of the appliance, the door gasket should be removed, and the apparatus handled by professional staff to prevent environmental harm.
  • In general, avoid stopping the appliance unnecessarily as it can affect its lifespan. If unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before resuming operation.
