Your HAIER HRF115UG2 contains flammable refrigerant isobutane (R600a). It is crucial to follow these safety measures:

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• During transportation and installation, ensure that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.

• If the circuit is damaged, avoid open flames and sources of ignition, and thoroughly ventilate the room where the appliance is situated.

• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Any damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

For general safety, please adhere to the following:

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside the appliance, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

Before using your HAIER HRF115UG2 for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a new product. Then, dry everything thoroughly. It is important not to use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

The temperature in your HAIER HRF115UG2 is controlled by a thermostat dial.

• The level of cooling can be varied between MIN and MAX depending on the temperature required.

• MAX is the lowest temperature setting and can be used for quick freezing. It is recommended to use MAX for short periods before turning back to MID or MIN for regular operation.

• When the dial is set to OFF, the refrigerator will not cool.

• The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it is installed in a warm location or if the door is opened often.

If excessive frost (>5mm) builds up in the refrigerator compartment, follow these instructions to defrost:

• Remove stored food and store it in a cool place.

• Unplug the appliance.

• During defrosting, water should drain out the back. Ensure the drainage hole is clear so defrost water can flow out.

• Keep the door open, and place a cloth underneath the appliance in case any excess water comes out the front.

• When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thoroughly.

• Plug the appliance back in.

• Re-store food once the compartment is cold.

The freezer needs to be defrosted manually. If the frost layer becomes too thick (>5mm) or turns to ice, follow these steps:

• Remove all stored food and store it in a cool place.

• Unplug the appliance.

• Keep the door open, and place a container or cloth underneath the appliance to collect any excess defrosted water.

• When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thoroughly.

• Plug the appliance back in.

• Re-store food once the compartment is cold.

To install your HAIER HRF115UG2 correctly, ensure the following:

• The installation location has a flat, level floor and enough space for the door to open easily.

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back, and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption.

• The appliance must not be located close to radiators or cookers.

• Make sure the mains plug is accessible after installation.

The required dimensions and clearances for the HAIER HRF115UG2 are as follows:

For ventilation, a minimum clearance of 5cm is required at the top, back, and sides of the unit.

Install your HAIER HRF115UG2 in a location where the ambient temperature matches the climate class on the rating plate.

To level the unit, adjust the two levelling feet at the front until the appliance is level. If the unit is not level, the doors and door gaskets may not seal properly.

Before plugging in, verify that the voltage and frequency on the rating plate match your power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power plug has a contact for this purpose. If your socket is not earthed, consult a qualified electrician to connect the appliance to a separate earth in accordance with current regulations.

To reverse the door, you will need a Philips screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, and a hexagonal spanner. It is recommended that two people perform this task.

Step 1. Remove the top left screw cover, the upper hinge cover, and the screws fixing the upper hinge. Remove the upper hinge.

Step 2. Lift the door and place it on a padded surface to prevent scratching.

Step 3. Move the core cover from the left side to the right side of the door.

Step 4. Loosen the screws and stop block from the bottom of the door, then install them on the opposite side and tighten securely.

Step 5. Remove the screws, bottom hinge, and adjustable feet from the bottom of the appliance.

Step 6. For the HAIER HRF115UG2, you need to remove the short pin from the bottom hinge and refit it to the other hole of the bottom hinge. Reattach the bottom hinge to the opposite side of the appliance.

Step 7. Fit the door back into place on the bottom hinge pin.

Step 8. Reattach the upper hinge on the opposite side with its screws. Then re-fit the upper hinge cover and attach the top cover to the opposite side.

To save energy, follow these tips:

• Don’t put hot food in the appliance.

• Don’t pack food close together as this prevents air from circulating.

• Make sure food doesn’t touch the back of the compartment(s).

• If electricity goes off, don’t open the door(s).

• Don’t open the door(s) frequently.

• Don’t keep the door(s) open for too long.

• Don’t set the thermostat to exceedingly cold temperatures.

• Some accessories, such as drawers, can be removed to get larger storage volume and lower energy consumption.

For daily use and care:

• Do not put hot items on the plastic parts of the appliance.

• Do not place food products directly against the rear wall.

• Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.

• Store pre-packed frozen food according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

• Do not clean the appliance with metal objects.

• Do not use sharp objects to remove frost. Use a plastic scraper.

• Regularly examine the drain in the refrigerator for defrosted water and clean it if necessary.

If your HAIER HRF115UG2 is not working, check the following:

• Temperature regulation dial is set to OFF: Set the dial to another setting to switch on the appliance.

• Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose: Fully insert the mains plug.

• Fuse has blown or is defective: Check the fuse and replace if necessary.

• Socket is defective: Mains malfunctions are to be corrected by an electrician.

If the food is too warm, consider these possible causes and solutions:

• The cooling setting is set too low: Set the cooling setting to a higher level.

• The door was open for an extended period: Keep the door closed and check again in a few hours. Open the door only as long as necessary during normal use.

• A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance recently: Adjust the thermostat to a higher cooling setting temporarily.

• The appliance is near a heat source: Please follow the guidelines in the Installation section regarding placement of the appliance.

If the food is too cool or freezing, the temperature is likely set too cold. Adjust the cooling setting of the thermostat to a lower (warmer) setting.

If the appliance is making unusual noises, check the following:

• Appliance is not level: Re-adjust the levelling feet to ensure the unit is level.

• The appliance is touching the wall or other objects: Move the appliance so it is not in contact with anything.

Note: Some sounds like the compressor running or refrigerant circulating are normal during use.
