Hisense RQ560N4WC1 - User Manual

This document outlines the operation and maintenance of a Hisense Refrigerator, designed to keep food and beverages fresh in a normal household setting. It emphasizes safety, proper installation, and efficient usage to maximize the appliance's lifespan and performance.

Function Description

The Hisense Refrigerator is a multi-compartment cooling appliance, featuring a fridge chamber, a freezer compartment, and a "My Fresh Choice" two-star compartment. It utilizes a refrigerant (R600a) for cooling and includes an automatic defrost system to prevent frost buildup. The appliance is controlled via a digital display panel that allows users to adjust temperatures for each compartment and activate various operational modes.

The fridge chamber is designed for storing fresh vegetables, fruits, and other perishable items, with adjustable glass shelves and door racks for flexible organization. It includes crisper drawers with humidity control to maintain optimal conditions for produce. The freezer compartment is for freezing and long-term storage of foods like meat and ice cream, equipped with twistable ice trays for easy ice cube production. The "My Fresh Choice" compartment offers flexible temperature settings, allowing it to function as an additional freezer or a chiller depending on user needs.

A water dispenser is integrated into the fridge door, providing chilled drinking water without needing to open the main door. This feature includes a removable water tank for easy filling and cleaning, and a child lock mechanism for safety.

Usage Features

The refrigerator offers several user-friendly features and modes accessible via the display panel:

Temperature Control: Users can set desired temperatures for the fridge (2°C to 8°C), "My Fresh Choice" (-5°C to -18°C), and freezer (-15°C to -25°C) compartments. The display shows the current settings, and adjustments are made by pressing dedicated buttons.
Super Cool: This mode rapidly cools the fridge compartment to 2°C, ideal for quickly chilling newly added food and preserving freshness for longer periods. It automatically deactivates after 6 hours.
Super Freeze: Designed for rapid freezing, this mode lowers the freezer temperature to -25°C, helping to preserve vitamins and nutrients in fresh food. It automatically switches off after 26 hours. Users are advised not to store bottled or canned carbonated drinks in the freezer during this mode to prevent explosions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Mode: When activated, the appliance automatically sets the fridge to 5°C and the freezer to -18°C, optimizing performance based on internal conditions.
Energy Saving Mode: This mode adjusts the fridge temperature to 6°C and the freezer to -17°C to minimize energy consumption.
Holiday Mode: Intended for periods of absence, this mode sets the fridge to 15°C (with no food stored) and the freezer to -18°C, reducing energy use while maintaining freezer function.
Lock Function: The display panel can be locked to prevent accidental changes to settings, particularly useful in households with children.
Door Alarm: An audible alarm and a visual indicator on the control panel activate if any door is left open for more than 2 minutes, reminding users to close it and conserve energy.
Adjustable Shelves and Racks: The glass shelves in the fridge and door racks can be repositioned to accommodate items of various sizes.
Crisper Drawers with Humidity Control: These drawers are specifically designed for fruits and vegetables, with a sliding block that allows users to adjust humidity levels to suit different types of produce.
Twistable Ice Tray: Located in the freezer, this tray simplifies ice cube production and storage.
Water Dispenser: Provides convenient access to chilled water. The lock device on the dispenser ensures controlled usage, especially as a "child lock."

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and proper care are crucial for the appliance's hygiene and longevity:

General Cleaning: The appliance, including its exterior and interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly (at least every two months). Before cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and unplugged from the mains socket to prevent electrical shock.
Exterior Cleaning: The digital and display panels should be wiped with a clean, soft cloth. Doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces can be cleaned with a mild detergent and then dried with a soft cloth. Users are warned against using sharp objects, thinners, car detergents, bleach, ethereal oils, abrasive cleansers, or organic solvents, as these can damage the surface or cause fire.
Interior Cleaning: The interior should be cleaned regularly, ideally when food stocks are low. A weak solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying before replacing shelves and baskets.
Defrosting: The appliance features an automatic frost-free system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Water from defrosting is drained into a drip tray and evaporated. If frost accumulates due to frequent or prolonged door openings, users should remove food, unplug the appliance, leave doors open to accelerate thawing, and then clean the freezer interior. Sharp objects should not be used to remove frost.
Door Seals Cleaning: Door seals should be kept clean to prevent stickiness and tearing. They can be washed with mild detergent and warm water, then thoroughly dried before powering on the appliance.
LED Light Replacement: If the LED light is damaged, users should contact customer service for assistance. The manual provides steps for removing the light cover and replacing the LED light, but emphasizes that this should not be done by the user.
Water Dispenser Cleaning: The water tank, lid, and head of the dispenser should be removed carefully and washed lightly with water. After cleaning, all parts should be dried naturally or with a dryer. The receiving tank at the bottom of the dispenser should be cleaned regularly with a dry towel to prevent overflow.

The manual also provides helpful hints for energy saving, fresh food refrigeration, freezing, and storage of frozen food, as well as troubleshooting tips for common issues like unusual noises, temperature problems, and door sealing.
