Structure & Functions
Key Components
Refrigerator
- The refrigerator is suitable for storing a variety of fresh foods to be consumed within the short term.
- Cooked food should be cooled to room temperature before being placed into the refrigerator.
- Glass shelves may be adjusted up or down for easy use or additional storage space.
Freezer
- The low temperature of the freezer may keep food fresh for a long time, and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and to make ice.
- The freezer is suitable for the storage of meat, fish, shrimp, pastries, and other foods not to be consumed in the short term.
- Chunks of meat are preferably divided into small pieces for easy access. Please note that food should be consumed within its shelf life.
Temperature Control
The markings on the control knob indicate the “MIN, MAX, and OFF” for the different temperature levels. “MAX.” lowers the internal temperature of the refrigerator; “MIN.” increases the internal temperature of the refrigerator; Recommended gear: “Mid-range.”
Maintainance
Cleaning
- Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris.
- Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
- Clean the interior of the refrigerator regularly to avoid odor.
- Please turn off the power before cleaning the interior, and remove all food, shelves, drawers, etc.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean.
- After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
- Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminate food.
- Clean the bottle frame, shelves, and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
Defrost
Power off the refrigerator and disconnect the plug from the wall socket. Open the door and remove all the food to a cool place. Clean the drain pipe, paying special attention to cleaning the compressor compartment water draining tray to avoid water overflowing onto the ground. It is recommended to remove the frost with a plastic scraper or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water, and plug in the freezer. After defrosting, put all food back into the refrigerator, and power on.
Stop Using
- Long-time nonuse: Please unplug the unused refrigerator for cleaning.
- Keep the door open to avoid odor.
- Moving: Do not turn upside down or shake the refrigerator; the carrying angle can not be greater than 45°. Do not hold the door or hinge when moving this unit.
Troubleshooting
| Inoperation | Ensure the refrigerator is plugged in and connected to power. Check that the voltage is not low. The temperature control knob is not set to “OFF“ |
| Odor | Thoroughly clean the interior of the refrigerator. |
| Long-term operation of the compressor | Do not overload the refrigerator. Do not put hot contents in the refrigerator |
| The light is out | Check whether the refrigerator is connected to the power supply. |
| Doors cannot be properly closed. | Check for any items blocking the refrigerator door or unbalanced items. |
| Loud noise | Ensure that the refrigerator is sitting on a flat and stable surface. |
| The door seal fails to be tight | Remove foreign matter from the door seal. Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or use an electrical drier or a hot towel for heating). |
| The water pan overflows | Heavy defrosting may occur when there is too much food in the refrigerator or if the food contains too much water. |
| Hot housing | Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing is normal. When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature or storage of too much food, provide ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation. |

FAQs
Q: What is the total capacity of the Honeywell H31MRS?
The H31MRS is a small, two-door refrigerator made for workplaces, bedrooms, dorms, and tiny kitchens. Although the capacity may differ slightly depending on the model batch, it usually consists of a primary fresh-food portion designed for daily storage and a separate freezer compartment.
Q: How long should I wait before storing food after plugging it in?
Before putting food inside, let the device run for two to four hours. Wait at least four hours for freezer-safe items to attain the right freezing temperatures.
Q: Can the refrigerator be placed directly against a wall?
No. To guarantee adequate ventilation and avoid overheating, leave at least 4 to 6 inches of space behind and on the sides of the refrigerator.
Q: Is the refrigerator safe to use in a bedroom?
The H31MRS is appropriate for offices, dorm rooms, and bedrooms, and runs silently. While noise levels will vary, short-lived humming during compressor operation is typical.
Q: Does the freezer require manual defrosting?
Turn off the unit, let the ice melt, and clean the compartment once the frost has accumulated to about ¼ inch.
Q: Can I store heavy items on the door shelves?
Steer clear of hefty jars or bottles that could put stress on the hinges.
Q: How do I clean the inside of the refrigerator?
Take out all of the food and unplug the device. Use a mixture of baking soda and warm water or a light soap solution. Steer clear of harsh chemicals, bleach, and abrasive cleaners that could harm surfaces.
