Electrical connection
• WARNING! It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains power supply; the
plug must therefore be easily accessible after
installation.
• Before plugging in your new freezer, let it stand
upright for at least 2 hours. This will allow the
refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor
and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
• The appliance must be earthed. The plug of
the power supply cord is equipped with a
contact for this purpose. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (earth)
prong from the power cord.
If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a
licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet
changed.
• Plug the unit into a dedicated, properly earthed
wall outlet. Ensure that your outlet voltage and
circuit frequency correspond to the voltage
stated on the rating label.
• Secure the freezer’s supply cord behind the unit.
Do not leave it exposed or dangling to prevent
injury and accidental disconnection from the
power supply.
• Adjust the temperature control as described
below.
• When first starting up, and after a period out of
use, allow the unit to cool down for at least 2–3
hours
(4 hours if starting up during warm weather in
summer) before placing food in the freezer.
• Do not store food uncovered in the freezer.
Always use good quality, freezer-proof
packaging to maintain food quality. Remove
air from packages of solid food and seal bags
tightly before freezing.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen
(and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages
do not touch food that is already frozen, thus
avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together
too much, leave some space for air to circulate
around each item. Do not place packages
directly against the back wall.
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities
that you can store straight away; use an
insulated container for your shopping and when
you get home, place the food in the freezer
immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen
food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions
for storing the food in a home freezer. Do
not exceed any storage times listed on the
packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen
food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface
evaporation which causes drying or freezer
burn.
• Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles
of fizzy drink in the freezer as the container
could explode under pressure and damage the
freezer.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food which has thawed accidentally
should either be used immediately or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted, it may be
cooked and then refrozen.
• CAUTION! Do not remove items from the freezer
if your hands are damp or wet as this could
cause skin abrasions.
Installation Instructions
Tips for Using the Appliance
13
The appliance should be placed in the coolest
area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid
placement in direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before
placing them in the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen
food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and
risk food spoilage.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost building up
inside in the unit.
• Please do not wrap items in aluminium foil, wax
paper or paper towel. This materials interfere
with cold air circulation, making the appliance
less efficient.
• Organise and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, ensuring the
unit is opened as few times as possible.
Before using the freezer, please remove all the
package, which includes the base pad, the foam
cushion block in the freezer and adhesive
tape, etc. And tear off the protective film on the
door body and case.
• Select the place that is far away from the heat
source and direct sunlight Do not place it in
damp or watery areas to prevent rusting or
weakening the insulation effect.
• Place the freezer in a well-ventilated indoor
area with a flat and sturdy ground.
• The top space of the freezer should be greater
than 70cm and the distance between the
sides and back of the freezer and the wall
should be greater than 20cm, so as to facilitate
the opening and closing of the freezer door and
heat dissipation.
Tips for Energy Savings
Placement
14
Defrosting
The chest freezer requires manual defrost.
For efficient operation and minimum energy
consumption, defrost the freezer compartment
when the frost on the freezer walls is building up.
Do not let frost build up to more than 3–4mm
thickness. For efficiency, choose a time when your
stock of frozen food is low.
• Unplug the freezer and open the door. Remove
the food and storage basket. (Keep any frozen
food temporarily in a fridge or cooler bag to
keep defrosting to a minimum.)
• During defrosting, any ice and frost that has
accumulated will melt into the freezer cabinet.
To drain the water, open the drainage hole (Fig.
2). When the ice softens, an ice scraper can be
used to help speed up the process.
Cleaning
WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is
switched off and disconnected from the power
supply.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.
• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior
accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened
in a water and baking soda solution. The
solution should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to 1 litre of water. Rinse and wipe
dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well
wrung out cloth, keeping the area of the controls
dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• Never use boiling water to accelerate
defrosting as it may damage the plastic
components.
• Regularly check the drain in the freezer for
defrost water. If necessary, clean the drain. If the
drain is blocked, water will collect in the base of
the appliance.
• After cleaning/defrosting, push the drain plug
in and also re-plug the drain plug inside the
freezer cabinet.
• After everything is dry, place appliance back
into service.
• Allow approximately 1–2 hours for the cabinet
to cool down again (depending on the length
of time the freezer was disconnected from the
power).
WARNING
Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid,
oil or solvent based cleaning agent. Never use
flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as the
fumes from these substances can create a fire
hazard or Explosion.

Problem Possible Solution
The freezer does not work Whether the power supply is connected and the plug is firmly inserted
Whether the voltage is too low
Whether the temperature control knob is in the work area
Is there a power outage or partial circuit tripping
The freezer smells bad Odorous food should be tightly packed
Check for rotten food
The interior of the freezer needs to be cleaned
Long term operation of
the compressor
It is normal for freezers to work for a long time due to high
temperatures in summer
Do not put too much food into the freezer at one time.
Put the food into the freezer after it has cooled down
Open the freezer door too often
The frost layer of the freezer is too thick (defrosting is required at t
his time)
The freezer door cannot
be closed correctly
The food package is jammed so the door cannot be closed
Too much food has been put in
Freezer tilts
Loud noise Whether the ground is flat and the freezer is placed stably
Whether the accessories of the freezer are placed in the normal
position
It is difficult to open the
freezer for a short time
After the refrigeration of the freezer, there is a pressure
difference between
the inside and outside of the case, which can cause a temporary
difficulty in opening the door. This is a normal physical phenomenon.
Case emits heat
External condensation
When the freezer is running, the outer shell of the case will
generate heat, even generating more heat in the early stages of
operation and summer.
This is caused by the heat dissipation of the condenser and is a
normal phenomenon.
When the environmental humidity is high, there may be condensation
on the surface of the case and the door seal, which is a normal
phenomenon. Wipe dry with a dry towel.
Airflow sound
Buzzing sound
Clattering sound
The refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration pipeline will produce an
eruption sound and a grunt sound, which is a normal sound and will
not
affect the cooling effect.
The compressor produces a buzzing sound during operation, and the
sound is loud when starting or stopping.
The electromagnetic valve or electric switching valve will make a
clattering sound, which is a normal phenomenon and will not affect
its use.
