SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Check if there is any leak of current.
2. Cut out the power supply before the repair to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
3. In the case of a live-line test, insulating gloves should be worn to avoid potential
electrical shock.
4. Confirm the rated current, voltage and capacity before testing with any kinds of
instruments.
5. Watch if the upper door is open when you check something at a lower position.
6. Take out every part in the cabinet before moving the machine, especially things like
panels (e.g. glass shelf).
7. Please wear intact cotton gloves when repair any parts of the evaporator, so that
scratches by the sharp fins can be avoided.
8. If there is a breakdown with the refrigeration system, please surrender the machine to
the service center, else the leaked refrigerant may pollute the atmosphere.
9. The refrigerator use AC of220~240V with a frequency of 50Hz.
10. A big fluctuation of voltage (exceed the range220~240V) may cause a start failure of
the refrigerator, a burn-out of the control panel and compressor, or an abnormal sound
from the compressor in operation. In this condition an automatic voltage regulator over
750W should be added.
11. Take care not to damage the supply line. Don’t yank at the line; pull the plug out gently
from the receptacle. Don’t press the line under the cabinet or step on it. Take care not
to roll on or damage the supply line when moves the machine from the wall.
12. Don’t use the supply line any more when there is damage to the line or an abrasion to
the plug. Go to the authorized service center for a replacement.
13. In the case of leakage of inflammable gases like carbon monoxide, open the door and
windows. Don’t pull out or insert the plugs of the appliance.
14. This product is designed only for household use. Any put of medicine, dangerous
flammable, explosive articles and highly corrosive acid or base is forbidden.
15. It is recommended not to put any receptacles, stabilized power supply or appliances
like microwave oven on the board of the refrigerator. Don’t use appliance within the
2
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
refrigerator (except recommended type), else there may be electromagnetic interference
or other accidents.
16. Don’t store or use gasoline and other flammable articles near the refrigerator which
may lead to a fire accident.
17. Don’t hook on the door, else the door may be slanted or the machine may be tipped
over and injure people.
18. Don’t place unstable articles on the refrigerator (e.g. weights and containers with
water), else the weights may hit people and the leaked water may cause leak of
current.
19. Don’t touch the refrigeration surface of the freezing compartment when the refrigerator
is in operation, especially when your hand is wet, else you may be glued to the
surface.
20. Don’t spray at the refrigerator, or locate it at a damp place, else the insulation of the
refrigerator may be impaired.
21. Any disassembly or alternation to the refrigerator is strictly forbidden. Damage to the
refrigeration pipeline is prohibited. Service to the refrigerator must be carried out by
professionals.
22. Don’t put bottles of bear and other drinks into the refrigerator; else the bottles may be
cracked with cold.
23. Pull out the plug of power supply during clearance or power outage. Wait at least five
minutes to resume the power supply in order to prevent damage to the compressor
caused by continuous restart.
24. Remove the door and the door seal when the refrigerator is out of use, in case that
accident may happen to children coming in to play

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PRINCIPLE
8.1 Overview
Electrical control principle of CFE/AFL/AFD refrigerators
(1) Fully air cooling design, controlled with a fixed frequency compressor;
(2) The temperature in the fridge storage compartment is controlled by controlling the air door with the
fridge storage temperature sensor R;
(3) The temperature in the freezer storage compartment is controlled by controlling the power of the
compressor with the freezer storage temperature sensor F;
CN1 is the connector for the sensors and the door switch. Its pins from the left to right are:
1: GND
2: +12V
3: Door switch signal. When the door is opened, GND and the signal wires are switch to
conduction. When the door is open, the wires are disconnected;
4-6: Null
7-8: Connected to the fridge storage temperature sensor. We can test the sensor with these two
wires. Its resistance in normal operation is between 6.35 and 3.88kΩ (correspond to 0℃~10℃). The
resistance at normal temperature is between 2.45 and 1.58kΩ (correspond to 20℃~30℃);
7-9: Connected to defrosting temperature sensor. We can test the sensor with these two wires.
Its resistance in normal operation is between 10.9 and 25.19kΩ (correspond to -10℃~-25℃). The
resistance at normal temperature is between 2.49 and 1.61kΩ (correspond to 20℃~30℃);
10-11: Connected to the freezer storage temperature sensor. Resistance test is the same as
the defrosting temperature sensor;
12: Null
CN2 is the connector for the LED lamps and display panel:
1: GND
2: +5V
3: Com
4: Com
5-6: Null
7: +12V
8: GND

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PRINCIPLE
8.3 Control Principle of the Air Escaper
(1) The refrigeration air door is controlled with the fridge storage temperature sensor R SNR.
(2) The air door is closed from the beginning of defrosting until 15 minutes after the defrosting is
finished.
(3) Upon initial powering on or resetting of the control panel, the air door conducts a
close-and-open cycle before acting according to the control conditions in item (1).
(4) The air door will be forced to conduct an open-and-close cycle if it has been closed for 1 hour.
After that, its closing/opening will be controlled by R SNR.
(5) If the temperature is still rising (or dropping) within 10 minutes after opening (or closing) of
the air door, it will open (or close) once again.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Trouble Shooting
Symptom: no defrosting
Check: 1) Activate the forced defrosting function by double pressing the button on the main control
panel. Then, check if the temperature of the defrosting heating wire is rising.
If the temperature of the heating wire does not change, remove the fan cover plate to
check if all the connectors are connected properly and test if there is 220V voltage
output across the terminals of the heating wire.
2) Measure the resistance of the heating wire with a multimeter. It should be around 345Ω.
3) Measure the resistance of the defrosting fuse. If it is zero, the fuse is OK. If it is infinite,
the fuse is malfunctioning.
4) If no malfunction is found in the above checks, please test the defrosting temperature
sensor with a multimeter.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
2) If any connector is not connected properly, replug it firmly.
3) Press and hold the button on the power board for 3s to turn the refrigerator on.
