PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Install Instruction
Finding a suitable location
• This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or
built-in.
• The freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be
at and sturdy .
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in moist or
watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
Dimensions and Clearances
• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in the degradation of
freezing capability and increased electricity costs. Allow over 100 mm of clearance
from each adjacent wall when installing the appliance.
Providing a proper power supply
• Check your local power source. This freezer requires a
AC115 V, 60 Hz
power
supply.
• Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this freezer.
CAUTION
The freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Start to use
• The freezer shall stay in an upright position for half an hour before connecting
power when it is rstly started.
• The freezer shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the freezer
shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient
temperature is high.

Leveling feet
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven oor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to
lower it.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.
ATTENTION
After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you
put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
Tips for energy saving
• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the
ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for
longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
• Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides
of the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
• Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter „Installation“.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the
most efcient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All
drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable
and save energy.
• To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the
middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should
be removed last if necessary.
• An evenly lled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy
use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has
already cooled down increases energy efciency.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food
reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases
the energy efciency.
• Open the door only as briey as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door
briey and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
• Setting the temperature no colder than necessary contributes to optimal energy
use. The optimum temperature in the refrigerator is +7°C. It should be measured as
far forward as possible in the top compartment of refrigerators.
• The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close
properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.
08
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Control panal
• The gures do not mean specic set temperature, but temperature level.
“1” means the warmest setting;
“6”means the coldest setting;
The higher the gure is, the lower the actual temperature inside refrigerator
shall be. “OFF” means stop running.
ATTENTION
The actual control panel may differ from model to model.
The control panel will turn off automatically for energy saving.

Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
•
When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts
that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable
temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Upright freezer shall be manually defrosted.
Disconnect the plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food
to a cool place.
It is recommended to remove the frost by a plastic scraper, or let the temperature
rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water,
and plug in socket for switching on the freezer.
ATTENTION
Soft towels or sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested
for cleaning. The freezer of shall be nally cleaned with clean water and dry cloth. Open the
door for natural drying before the power is turned on. Do not use hard brushes, clean steel
balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone,
banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean refrigerator considering that this
may damage the fridge surface and interior.
CAUTION
Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate
except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the
refrigerant circuit.
Stop using
Power failure:
In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be
kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall
be reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.
Long-time nonuse:
The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open
to prevent odor.
Moving:
Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, x the glass
partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and
tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them with tape. During moving,
the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the
inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.
ATTENTION
The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the
appliance shall not be nterrupted; otherwise the service life may be impaired.
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.

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
Failed operation
• Check whether the appliance is connected to power or
whether the plug is in well contact
• Check whether the voltage is too low
• Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have
tripped
Odor
• Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped
• Check whether there is any rotten food
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation
of the compressor
• Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer
• when the ambient temperature is high It is not suggestible
having too much food in the appliance at the same time
• Food shall get cool before being put into the appliance
• The doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get lit
• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply
and whether the illuminating light is damaged
• Have the light replaced by a specialist
Door can not be
properly closed
• The door is stuck by food packages Too much food is placed
• The refrigerator is tiltedr.
Loud noises
• Check whether the oor is level and whether the refrigerator
is placed stably
• Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
12
Problem Possible reason
Door seal fails to be
tight
• Remove foreign matters on the door seal
• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it
with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overows
• There is too much food in the chamber or food stored
contains too much water,resulting in heavy defrosting
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing
• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing,
which is normal When housing becomes hot due to high
ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown
of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to
facilitate heat dissipation
Surface
condensation
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the
refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high.
Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
