This document is the user's operation manual for Hisense HRTF205S and HRTF205 refrigerator models. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliance.
Function Description:
The Hisense refrigerator is designed for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast environments, and catering. Its primary function is to store food and beverages, keeping them fresh and/or frozen. The appliance features separate compartments for refrigeration and freezing, each with its own temperature control. The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing eggs, canned liquids, bottled drinks, packed food, fruits, and vegetables, while the freezer compartment is designed for foods requiring freezing, such as meat and ice. Some models may include an ice cube tray for making ice.
Important Technical Specifications:
The refrigerator operates on a single-phase alternating current of 220-240V/50Hz. For areas with significant voltage fluctuations, an A.C. Automatic voltage regulator of more than 350W is recommended. The appliance uses isobutene (R600a) as a refrigerant, which is a natural gas with high environmental compatibility but is flammable. The insulation blowing gas is also flammable. The appliance performs well within climate classes SN, N, ST, and T, with ambient temperatures ranging from +10°C to +43°C depending on the class. The dimensions for installation are provided, indicating a height of 1456mm, a width of 550mm, and a depth of 564mm, with specific clearances required for proper ventilation. The total depth with the door open 135° is 937mm. The manual specifies various storage temperatures for different food types across different compartments (Fridge: +2°C to +8°C; ***-Freezer: <-18°C; **-Freezer: <-12°C; *-Freezer: <-6°C; 0-star: -6°C to 0°C; Chill: -2°C to +3°C; Fresh Food: 0°C to +4°C; Wine: +5°C to +20°C).
Usage Features:
The appliance includes a temperature regulator for both the refrigerator and freezer chambers, allowing users to adjust settings based on their needs. The refrigerator temperature regulator has settings like "COLDER" for insufficient refrigeration, "MID" for normal use, and "COLD" for a little frozen food. The freezer temperature regulator also has "COLDER" and "COLD" settings for different freezing requirements. Users are advised not to set the temperature control knob to "COLDER" or "COLD" in normal conditions, especially in high ambient temperatures, to avoid continuous compressor operation and energy consumption. The door racks are suitable for various items, with smaller racks being height-adjustable. Shelves in the refrigerator chamber are removable for cleaning. A crisper drawer is provided for storing vegetables and fruits. For models with an ice cube tray, instructions are given for filling and forming ice cubes. The manual emphasizes proper food placement to ensure free air circulation and efficient cooling. It also provides hints for refrigerating and freezing different types of food, including recommended storage times and packaging methods.
Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning of the appliance, both exterior and interior, is recommended every two months for hygiene. Before cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and unplugged from the mains socket to prevent electrical shock. The exterior can be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth and mild detergent, avoiding metal objects, steam cleaners, ethereal oils, organic solvents, or abrasive cleansers. The interior should be wiped with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water, then thoroughly dried. For frost removal in the freezer compartment, users are instructed to remove food, unplug the appliance, and leave the doors open, avoiding sharp objects. Door seals should be kept clean to prevent sticking and tearing. The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the appliance not working, odours, noise, continuous motor operation, frost accumulation, warm or cold interior temperatures, and difficulty closing doors. For models with LED lights, instructions for replacement by a competent person are provided, including steps to remove the light cover and replace the LED. Water dispenser cleaning instructions are also included for relevant models, advising to clean tanks if unused for 48 hours and flush the system if water hasn't been drawn for 5 days. The manual stresses the importance of proper disposal of the appliance and its packaging materials at authorized waste collection points due to the flammable refrigerant and insulation gases.
