5. USE
5.1. START
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used
as a built-in appliance.
1. Turn the thermostat knob to the “2” position,
and plug the freezer into the wall outlet. The
compressor will begin to run.
2. After 30 minutes of operation, check to ensure that
the freezer is cold.
Temperature control
1. The temperature control (thermostat knob, turned by coin) is located near the top
of the unit.
2. Turning the thermostat knob adjusts the temperature of the freezer.
3. The marks on the knob represent different settings. Setting “1” is the warmest and
setting “4” is the coolest.
4. The recommended setting is “2” for normal operating conditions.
After the freezer is in place it needs to be left idle for 4 hours. This allows time
for the coolant to settle. Do not turn on the freezer during this period.
5.2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE
• Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space
between foods; if too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the
refrigeration effect.
• Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed.
• When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place
the water-rich foods too close to the refrigerator rear wall, lest they get frozen on
the inner wall.
Freezer mode
Long-term storage of foods: The freezer compartment, where the temperature is
generally controlled below -18 °C, is suitable for the preservation of foods for a long
term, but the shelf life indicated on the food packages should be abided by.
Freezer drawer: Used for the frozen food storage. For the mass pieces of meat or fish,
cut them into smaller ones, pack them up separately with the fresh-keeping bags, and
distribute them evenly in the drawer.
• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the
freezer compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or any canned liquid that is sealed in the
freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion after the liquid
gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions.
• You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag should be dry,
in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered
by suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic
and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the
packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown
against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them
before×”, found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the
frozen foods.
