SPECIFICATION
INSTALLATION LOCATION
VENTILATION CONDITION
1. The position you select for the freezer installation should be well-ventilated and has less hot air. Do not locate the freezer near a heat source
such as cooker, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. DO NOT locate the
freezer in the damp place, so as to prevent the freezer from rusting. The quantity of the refrigerant gas of the freezer being divided by the total
space of the room in which the freezer is installed should be less than 8g/m³.
Note: The amount of refrigerant gas for the freezer can be found on the serial plate.
2.Please allow at least 30mm of free space for the top of the unit, at least 100mm for both sides of the unit and at least 50mm for the rear of the
unit.
NOTE: Figure 1, Figure 2 only illustrate the space demand of the product.3.
3. Level ground
Place the freezer on the solid and at ground (oor) to keep it stable, or else, it
will vibrate and be noisy. When the freezer is placed on materials such as carpet,
straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, solid backing plates should be tted underneath the
unit to prevent damage to the ooring.
NOTE: Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
PREPARATIONS FOR USE
Standing time
1. After the freezer is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on
immediately. Leave the freezer to stand for more than 4 hours to allow gases to
settle, thus ensuring its normal operation.
2.Cleaning
Wipe the inside of the freezer with a soft cloth.
3.Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer
compartment drops, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
4.Storage of food
After the freezer runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the freezer will be automatically controlled according to the user’s
temperature setting. After the freezer is fully cooled, put in your food, which usually need 2~3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the
temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the freezer door as less as possible before the
internal temperature cools down).
NOTE: If the freezer is installed in a place with moisture, make sure to check the circuit breaker operation. If vibration and noises are produced

due to the freezer contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the freezer away from
the wall. Setting up the freezer may cause noise or image disturbance on your mobile phone, xed-line telephone, radio receiver, television
surrounding it, so try to keep the freezer as far away from these items as possible.
OPERATION
PRE CHECKS
1.Clean the freezer with lukewarm water and detergent and wipe dry.
Note: Electrical components should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
2.Turn the thermostat knob to the “2” position, and plug the freezer into the wall outlet. The compressor will begin to run.
3. Check, after 30 minutes of operation, to ensure that the freezer is cold.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
1. The temperature control (thermostat knob turned by coin) is located near the top of the unit.
2.Turning the thermostat knob adjusts the temperature of the freezer.
3.The marks on the knob represent dierent settings. Setting “1” is the warmest and setting “4” is the coolest.
4. We recommend setting is “2” for normal operating conditions.
DO NOT turn on the freezer for 4 hours. After the freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE
DO NOT overload the freezer with food. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold air ow will be blocked, thus aecting the
refrigeration performance. DO NOT store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a
distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the freezer rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
FREEZER MODE
Long-term storage of foods: The freezer compartment, where the temperature is generally controlled below -18°C, is suitable for the preservation
of foods for a long term, but the shelf life indicated on the food packages should be abided by.
Freezer drawer: Used for the frozen food storage; For large quantities of meat or sh, cut them into smaller pieces, pack them up separately with
bags, and distribute them evenly in the drawer.
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
DO NOT put a glass container with liquid or canned liquids that are sealed into the freezer compartment, so as to avoid bursting due to volume
expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
Its better to pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags get frozen together.
Foods should be packed or covered by suitable materials that are impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-
contamination and transfer of odour.
TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE FROZEN FOODS
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the
period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”, found on the front or rear of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked.
Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less time for them to freeze up and
thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low
mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness ensured.
HOW TO USE THE ICE-MAKING BOX
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
MOVING THE FREEZER
DO NOT drag or lift the freezer directly from its top frame when moving the freezer, to avoid damaging the top frame.
LOCATION
DO NOT place your freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
LEVELLING
Make sure to level your freezer using the front levelling feet. If not level, the freezer door gasket sealing performance will be aected, or even it
may lead to the operating failure of your freezer.
After locating the freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant gas to settle.
INSTALLATION
DO NOT cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it o rst, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet. Take out all foods.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if
necessary.
Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy
objects on top of it.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING: Before cleaning, unplug the power plug rst; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric
shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity shock and accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the
bottom of the freezer, since you might be scratched by sharp metal corners.
INTERNAL CLEANING AND EXTERNAL CLEANING
The food residuals in the freezer are liable to produce bad odour, so the freezer must be cleaned regularly.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water
or neutral detergent.
Clear o the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the freezer often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
DO NOT use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive
or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc, so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden implement wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, x the four
corners of the door gasket rst, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.
INTERRUPTION OF POWER SUPPLY OR FAILURE OF THE REFRIGERATING SYSTEM
Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or
failure of the refrigerating system).
Try to open the freezer door as less as possible, in this way can food safely and freshly kept for hours even in hot summer.
If you get the power outage notice in advance.
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time).
Restore the temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food to be
stored.
NOTE: Once the freezer is used, you’d better use it continuously; and under normal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to aect the
service life.
DEFROSTING
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment inner wall (or evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or
sharp hardware. Frost needs to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the drawers and access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frost in a timely manner.
FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO DEFROST
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the freezer door, and gently remove the frosts from the inner wall with an ice
scraper. To speed up the thawing process, you are suggested to place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer, and when the solid ice frosts become
loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.
NOTE: When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving
the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
SAFETY-CHECK AFTER MAINTENANCE
Is the power cord broken or damaged?
Is the power plug rmly inserted into the socket?
Is the power plug abnormally overheated.
NOTE: Electric shock and re accident may be caused in case the power cord and plug is damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality, please
unplug the power plug and get in contact with the vendor.
