The freezer temperature is controlled below -18
℃
, and it is advisable to store the
food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage du-
ration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat
of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping
bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
Tips for special needs
Moving the freezer/freezer
Location
Do not place your freezer/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radia-
tor. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling
Make sure to level your freezer/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level,
the freezer/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it
may lead to the operating failure of your freezer/freezer.
After locating the freezer/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as
to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time
• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then
unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
• Take out all foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat
source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top
of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so
that it ices up as soon as possible.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug
with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill wa-
ter directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not
stretch your hands into the bottom of the freezer, since you might be scratched
by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the freezer are liable to produce bad odor, so the freezer
must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a
month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and
clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral deter-
gent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the freezer
often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline deter-
gent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to
cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to
avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick
wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door
gasket first, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system
• Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the
refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system).
• Try to open the freezer door as less as possible, in this way can food safely
and freshly kept for hours even in hot summer.
• If you get the power outage notice in advance
:
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that
foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the
temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes nor-
mal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper
part of the freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food to be stored.
Note:
Once the freezer is used, you’d better use it continuously; and under nor-
mal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.
