INSTALLATION / FIRST TIME USE
SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is flat and firm, and
the room is well ventilated. Avoid placing your unit near a heat source (ie,
oven, radiator, or hot water system). Avoid direct sunlight as it may increase
the electrical consumption. Extreme cold temperatures may also cause the
unit to not perform correctly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or
outdoors. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
POWER SOURCE AND GROUNDING
It’s recommended to use the vertical freezer on its own dedicated power
outlet for both convenience and safety. The power outlet must be
grounded.
Important!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
Kogan.com or an authorised service agent on Kogan.com’s behalf. Cease
use and ensure the appliance is completely disconnected from the power
supply.
• Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials, including
bottom cushions and foam pads and tapes inside the freezer, tear off
the protective film on the door and the freezer body.
• 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.
• The freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the
ground shall be flat and sturdy.
• The top space of the freezer shall be greater than 70cm and the
distances from both sides and backside shall be more than 20cm to
facilitate heat dissipation.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda,
then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out cloth or sponge. Wash
the shelves and drawers in warm soapy water and dry completely
before replacing in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp
cloth. Further cleaning instructions can be found on page 8.
Before first use
Allow the freezer to sit for half an hour before connecting to power when
