Use and Operation
Unpacking, Repacking and Moving
• Unpacking: Just cut off the packing band, then pull the carton up.
• Repacking: Please remember to put the original foamed pads in place.
• Moving: Be sure freezer stays in upright position during moving it. Do not tilt it for more than 45°from up-
right. Never upset it. Do not apply force on any external part such as pipe, condenser, door and its handle
for moving, freezer must be well packed and secured in long distance transportation to avoid damage from
impacting and or great rocking.
Placement
The freezer should be placed on a flat and solid-top surface. It should be kept away from sunlight, heat source,
humid or mess place. The freezer should be kept away from the wall for a proper space for good air circulation.
When the freezer is placed in a cupboard, the rear of the cupboard must be removed out for good circulation.
Power Supply
Before the freezer is plugged in, check the following: There must not be any damage on all electrical wire.
Earthing screw must be well fixed. Wall outlet must be properly earthed. Be sure that everything is in normal
condition and the freezer can be plugged in.
Before first Use
• When operating is in normal condition and the freezer without any load until it auto stops at the desired
temperature, usually it takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat to the required setting and place foods in.
• Freezer‘s temperature can be adjusted by turning the knob of the thermostat. A medium setting is the most
suitable for general operation. The position „4“ is cooler than the position „1“. Freezer‘s temperature will vary
depending on the quantity of foods stored and the frequency of the door opening, In order to maintain
good cooling efficiency and save energy, We recommend you not to store too much foods and not to open
the door too frequently.
Defrosting
• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost
on the evaporator is excessive 3 to 4 mm thick. To start defrosting, turn the temperature control to “OFF”,
unplug the freezer, remove the food and drawers. After the frost or ice has melted, discard the melted water
and dry up the interior of freezer. Then the freezer can be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired
setting.
• Never use any sharp of metallic instruments (e.g. knives) to remove frost/ice from the evaporator as this will
damage the evaporator
