• The low temperature of the freezer may keep food fresh for a long time and is mainly used to store frozen foods and
make ice.
• The freezer is suitable for storing meat, sh, shrimp, dumplings, rice balls, poultry and other foods not to be consumed
in short term.
• Meat should be divided into small pieces for easy access. Please note food shall be consumed within the shelf time.
Note: After long term use, there may be some degree of wear with the hinge, causing noise when opening/closing the
door and reducing the service life of the hinge. As part of regular maintenance, it is recommended to put oil/grease on
the hinge to eectively eliminate noise and extend the service life of the hinge.
• Connect the freezer to power supply.
• The interior temperature of the freezer is adjusted through the
thermostat knob. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise and the
interior temperature will get colder. “MIN” is the warmest setting,
“MAX” is the coldest setting.
• “OFF” turns the unit o when not in use.

2.5 ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Before using the freezer,
remove all packaging
materials including bottom
cushions, foam pads and
tapes inside the freezer.
Tear o the protective
lm on the door and the
freezer body.
• Keep unit away from heat
and avoid direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the freezer
in moist or damp place to
prevent rust ore reduction
of insulating.
• The freezer should stay upright for half an hour before plugging in for the rst time.
• Run the freezer 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; run the freezer for more
than 4 hours in summer, considering that the ambient temperature is high.
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to
run longer. Foods that freeze too slow may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on the frost
build-up inside the appliance.
• Storage basket should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the freezer less ecient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at once
and close the door as soon as possible.
• The freezer should be
placed indoors on a
level, at and sturdy
surface that is well
ventilated.
• The top space of the
freezer shall be greater
than 27.75 in. (70 cm)
and the distances from
both sides and back
side shall be more than
8 in.(20 cm) to facilitate
heat dissipation.

1. Remove foods and shelving basket before defrosting; put foods in a cool place while defrosting, before
removing accessories.
2. Turn the temperature knob to OFF, unplug the freezer and open the freezer door.
3. Open the outow hole and drainage hole. Place a water container at the outow hole. Indoor frost will naturally
melt. Wipe water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice scraper might be used to accelerate the
de-icing process.
3. MAINTENANCE OF THE FREEZER
Please unplug the freezer for defrosting and cleaning. Other mechanical devices or other means shall
not be used to accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. DO NOT damage the
refrigerant circuit.
3.2 CLEANING
•. Dust behind the freezer and on the ground shall be cleaned in a timely manner to improve the
cooling eect and energy saving. The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to
avoid odors. Soft towels or a sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive, neutral detergent are
suggested for cleaning. Finally, the freezer shall be cleaned with clean water and a dry cloth.
Open the door to air-dry the interior before the power is turned on.

organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline
items to clean the freezer, considering that these may damage the appliance surface and
interior.
• DO NOT rinse with water so as not to aect the electrical insulation properties. Please use a dry cloth when cleaning
temperature control knob and electrical components.
Please unplug the freezer for defrosting and cleaning.
3.3 POWER OUTAGE
In case of power failure, foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer. Reduce the frequency of opening
the door. Avoid putting fresh food in the freezer at this time.
3.4 VACATION AND MOVING
Please unplug the freezer if left unused for a long time for cleaning. Keep the door open to avoid bad odors.
SHORT TERM:
• If leaving for 3 weeks or less it is okay to leave the freezer operating during this time.
LONG TERM:
• For vacations longer than 3 weeks, turn the unit OFF and unplug the freezer.
• Follow the defrosting and cleaning instructions listed above.

• Check that the temperature control (power) knob is turned ON
• Check whether or not there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
ODOR
• Odorous foods should be properly wrapped
• Food has been in the freezer too long
• Defrost and clean the freezer
LONG-TIME OPERATION OF
THE COMPRESSOR
• It is normal for the freezer to operate for a long time in summer when the ambient
temperature is higher
• It is not suggested to store too much food in the freezer at the same time
• Let food cool before storing in the freezer
• The doors are opened too frequently
• There is a thick frost layer (defrost is needed)
LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE
• Check whether the freezer is connected to power supply and whether the
illuminating light is damaged
• Check if the bulb needs to be replaced
DOOR CANNOT BE PROPERLY
CLOSED
• The freezer door is obstructed by food packages
• Too much food is placed in the freezer
• The freezer is tilted/unbalanced
LOUD NOISES
• Check that the unit is sitting on a at and stable surface

outside of the freezer, making t dicult to open the door. This is normal.
FREEZER ENCLOSURE HEAT
CONDENSATION
• The freezer enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer; this is
caused by the radiation of the condenser
• Condensation: condensation will be detected on the exterior surface and door
seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large; this is normal. Wipe away
condensation with a dry towel
AIRFLOW SOUND BUZZ/CLATTER
• Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and
grunts which is normal and does not aect the cooling eect
• Buzzing is heard when the compressor is running, especially when starting up or
shutting down
• The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter; this is normal and does not
aect operation
