Haier HFN-248, HFN-136 manual Environmental Protection and Proper Disposal, Location, Installation

This User’s Manual is applicable to a variety of models and there may be slight changes in certain aspects from model to model.

1.Environmental Protection and Proper Disposal

Package materials

The appliance is packaged in a way to prevent damages during transportation. Recyclable materials are used.

The packing box is made of corrugated board / cardboard (mainly from recycled paper).

yPolystyrene parts (CFC-free foamed polystyrene)

yLinings and polyethylene bags

yPolypropylene straps

All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste collecting center and used again after adequate recycling. All waste materials should be disposed properly.

2. Location

Make sure the refrigerator is kept upright during handling. If an inclination is required, it should not exceed 45 degrees. Otherwise the appliance may get damaged resulting not only in compromised refrigeration performance.

To avoid product damage or personal injury, the refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is located in a previously selected position.

Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no visible exterior damage.

When handling the refrigerator, do not lift it by holding the worktop, to prevent any damage to the refrigerator.

Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.

Check the refrigerator carefully for:

yDamaged package due to inappropriate handling during transportation

yDamage in the exterior

yDamage in power cord / plug

Any doubt, please contact Customer Service for a thorough checkup of the appliance.

Take necessary measures to prevent leakage of refrigerant at the start-up of refrigerator that may result in environmental pollution.

3. Installation

a)Remove all package materials.

b)Remove items in the refrigerator.

c)Make sure to remove film and tape on the cabinet and the door.

d)Remove polystyrene chips (if any) around the refrigerator.

e)Take out accessories and literature in the refrigerator.

f)Clean the inside of the refrigerator with lukewarm water and vinegar and then dry it with a soft cloth.

g)Use the spanners supplied to adjust the leveling leg to ensure the refrigerator is stable.

Do not use detergents, sharp or pointed instruments or soda-based cleansers to clean the refrigerator.

yBefore installation, make sure the refrigeration system is free of any damage.

yThe refrigerator should be used for its intended purpose only.

yThe refrigerator should be positioned on the solid and even floor to ensure refrigerant circulation and refrigerating performance.

yIf possible, position the refrigerator in a cool and dry well ventilated room.

yDo not expose the refrigerator to direct sunshine and make sure the ambient temperature is not extremely high.

yKeep the refrigerator from a heat source, such as heating system, oven or cookers. Otherwise the compressor will operate more frequently resulting in extra power consumption.

If the refrigerator will be placed near a heat source, it is recommended to install a thermal barrier between the refrigerator and the heat source (asbestos is prohibited) or maintain adequate space between the refrigerator and the heat source as follows:

Cooker or electric stove	3 cm
Radiator or oven	30 cm
Another refrigerator	2 cm

Do not place any radiating apparatus, such as microwave oven or roaster, on top of the refrigerator.

Make sure the air vent is not obstructed.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
