Function Description
The Hisense refrigerator is designed for household use, providing refrigeration and freezing capabilities for food storage. It features a multi-door design with separate compartments for optimal organization and temperature control. The appliance includes a water dispenser located in the fridge door, offering chilled drinking water without the need to open the refrigerator. This unit is equipped with Dual Tech Cooling technology, which helps maintain optimal temperatures and humidity levels within different compartments. The refrigerator is also designed to be energy-efficient, running for longer periods at lower energy usage.
Usage Features
The refrigerator's control panel, located on the top inside, allows users to manage various settings. Key features include:
- Temperature Control: Users can set the temperature for the Fridge, My Fresh Choice, and Freezer compartments. The display allows toggling between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The recommended settings are 39°F (4°C) for the Fridge, 19°F (-7°C) for My Fresh Choice, and 0°F (-18°C) for the Freezer.
- Special Functions:
- Super Cool: This feature rapidly lowers the fridge compartment temperature to 36°F (2°C) for 3 hours, ideal for periods of high usage or large grocery loads.
- Super Freeze: This function quickly lowers the freezer temperature to -11°F (-24°C) for 52 hours, promoting faster freezing and preserving food quality.
- Eco Mode: When activated, Eco mode automatically sets the fridge to 43°F (6°C), the freezer to 1°F (-17°C), and the My Fresh Choice compartment to an immovable temperature, optimizing energy consumption.
- Door Open Alarm: An audible alarm sounds if a door remains open for more than 2 minutes, displaying "18" on the control panel. The alarm repeats every minute for 8 minutes until all doors are closed.
- Adjustable Shelves and Door Bins: The interior shelves can be adjusted in height to accommodate different storage needs. The door bins in the middle section are also removable and adjustable.
- Water Dispenser: The water dispenser provides chilled drinking water. It has a capacity of up to 4L and includes a large lid and a small lid for filling. Users are advised to fill with potable water only and ensure the tank is steady and correctly positioned before filling.
- Wi-Fi Functionality: The appliance can be controlled remotely via a smartphone or tablet using the ConnectLife app. This requires a strong Wi-Fi signal, a connected home network, and a compatible mobile device. The manual provides instructions for connecting the appliance to Wi-Fi, pairing it with a mobile device, and unbinding paired devices.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the refrigerator's optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning:
- Interior: Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, monthly cleaning is recommended to prevent odor buildup. Removable parts should be hand-washed with a mild detergent and warm water.
- Door Seals (Gaskets): These should be hand-washed with a soft cloth, mild detergent, and warm water to prevent them from adhering to the cabinet and tearing.
- Exterior: Exterior surfaces should be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water, then rinsed and dried thoroughly to avoid water spots.
- Water Dispenser: The water tank, lids, and head of the water dispenser should be cleaned before first use and regularly thereafter. If the dispenser has not been used for 48 hours, the water tanks should be cleaned. If the water system connected to a water supply has not been drawn for 5 days, it should be flushed.
- Defrosting: The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
- Lights: The refrigerator is equipped with LED lighting, designed to last for the life of the appliance. If the lights stop operating, a qualified technician should be contacted for replacement.
- Vacation and Moving Care:
- Vacation: For short periods, perishables should be used up or frozen. For longer periods, it's recommended to turn off the refrigerator, remove all food, clean and dry the interior, and prop the doors open to prevent odors and mold.
- Moving: Before moving, all food should be removed, the appliance unplugged, cleaned, and dried. Removable parts should be secured, and the leveling legs raised. After moving, the refrigerator should be allowed to sit for 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the compressor oil to settle.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common issues such as the refrigerator not running, frequent compressor cycles, odors, lights not working, and door closure problems.
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions:
- Electrical Safety: Always plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove the ground prong, and avoid using adapters or extension cords. Ensure the power cord is not damaged or crushed.
- Flammable Materials: Keep flammable materials and vapors away from the appliance. The refrigerant (R600a) and insulation blowing gas are flammable, so proper disposal at an authorized waste disposal center is crucial.
- Child Safety: Children aged 8 and above, or persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance with supervision. Children should not play with the appliance. Packaging should be kept away from children to prevent suffocation. When discarding the appliance, remove the doors and disable spring locks to prevent child entrapment.
- General Safety: Do not store explosive substances or operate electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments unless recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure ventilation openings are clear of obstruction. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
- Food Storage: Pack food in bags and liquids in bottles or capped containers to prevent spills and facilitate cleaning. Do not overload door racks or crisper drawers. Avoid consuming ice popsicles or cubes directly from the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
This manual provides essential information for safe and efficient operation, ensuring the longevity and performance of the Hisense refrigerator.
