• When the temperature controller knob is turned counterclockwise,
the temperature inside the freezer increases;
• When the temperature controller knob is turned clockwise, the temperature
inside the freezer decreases;
• The area where the temperature controller knob points to "COOLING" is
the refrigeration area, and "FREEZING" is the frozen area;
• Please refer to the schematic diagram to identify the “recommended gear”.

Warnings for energy
1.
Freezer might not operate consistently when sited for an extended period of time
below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the freezer appliance is
designed.
2.
The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments
or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some
products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
3.
The need to not exceed the storage time recommended by the food manufacturers
for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-
freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets;
4.
The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen
food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food
in several layers of newspaper.
5.
The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
6.
The necessity that, for doors or lids tted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out
of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the freezer appliance, in order to
prevent children from being locked inside.
Energy saving tips
• The appliance 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 appliance.
Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze
too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less
efcient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

basket before defrosting;Open the outow hole and drainage hole (and
place water container at the outow hole); indoor frost will naturally melt,
wipe the defrost water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice
scraper might be used to the accelerate de-icing process.
• Please remove the food and put in a cool place when defrosting before
removing accessories.
Stop using
• Power failure:Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer
in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of
opening door and do not put fresh foods into the freezer.
• Long-time nonuse:Please unplug the freezer left unused for a long time for
cleaning.Keep the door open to avoid the bad odor.
• Moving:Do not turn upside or vibrate the freezer, the carrying angle can not
be greater than 45°. Do not hold the door and hinge when moving this unit.
ATTENTION
• Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate except those
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Continuous operation is recommended when the freezer is started. Please do not stop the
freezer under normal circumstances so as not to affect the freezer’s service life.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after-sale
service department if the issues are not solved.
Problem Possible reason
Not work
• Whether the freezer is plugged and connected to power;
• Low voltage
• Whether temperature control knob is in the work area
• Failure power or tripping circuit.
Odor
• Odorous foods should closely wrapped;
• Check whether there is any rotten food
• Whether the interior shall be cleaned.
Long-term operation
of compressor
• It is normal that freezer operates for longer time in summer
when the ambient temperature is higher;
• Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time;
• Do not put foods until they are cooled;
• Frequent opening of freezer door;
• Thick frost layer (defrost is needed).
Light not work
• Whether the freezer is connected to power, whether the light
is damaged.

EN
Problem Possible reason
Loud noises
• Whether the oor is at, whether the placement of freezer is
stable;
• Whether the freezer accessories are properly placed.
Transient difculty in
door opening
• After refrigeration, there will be pressure difference
between the inside and outside of the freezer to result in
transient difculty in door opening. This is a normal physical
phenomenon.
Over heat on
sidewall
• The freezer enclosure may emit heat during operation
specially in summer, this is caused by the radiation of the
condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon.
Surface
Condensation
• Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected
on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the
ambient humidity is high, this is a normal phenomenon,and
the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
Airow sound
Buzz
Clatter
• Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce
eruption of sound and grunts which is normal does not
affectthe cooling effect.
• Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when
starting up or shutting down.
• The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter which is
a normal phenomenon and does not affect the operation.
