CHEST FREEZER
USER GUIDE
• Do not place food too close to the inside of the freezer compartment, as they can
freeze. The distance from the loaded products to the inner walls of the chest should
be at least 10 cm.
• Do not place liquid food in glass containers, carbonated drinks and other liquids in
plastic bottles and metal cans in the chest freezer, as the containers may burst due
to increased pressure when frozen.
• Do not open the door frequently to avoid warm air entering the chest freezer to save
energy. If there is an unscheduled power outage, do not open the chest freezer door
to keep the cold inside as long as possible.
• Do not store pharmaceutical products or other products that require strict temperature
control in the chest freezer.
FEATURES OF THE WORK
Do not move or tilt the chest freezer during operation. Noise may occur in the
compressor. This feature does not affect the performance of the compressor.
The refrigerant circulating inside the cooling system may gurgle softly even when the
compressor is not running. During the operation of the chest freezer, you can also hear:
the rustle of the fan impellers; the clicks of the temperature sensor-relay; the buzzing of
the air damper drive; the murmur of the refrigerant circulating through the pipes of the
refrigeration system; light crackling during temperature deformations of materials. Don’t
worry, these sounds are not associated with any defect and are of a functional nature.
DEFROSTING AND CLEANING
During operation, frost forms on the inner walls of the chest freezer. Therefore, it is
recommended to carry out full defrosting 2-3 times a year or when the thickness of the
frost layer is more than 5 mm.
* If you plan to go somewhere for an extended period, disconnect the appliance from
the power supply, remove the food, defrost and wash it well from the inside. Leave the
door open to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant smell.
ATTENTION! Before defrosting and washing the chest freezer, make sure that it
is disconnected from the power supply and that the power cord plug is unplugged.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food will be small, and proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the chest freezer from the power supply.
2. Remove the food from the chest freezer and transfer it to another freezer or
refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap the food first in a few sheets of paper or
towels, and then in a thick blanket and put it in a cool place.
3. Remove all baskets from chest freezer and leave the door open. Open the drain plug
located at the bottom of the chest and install a container to collect the defrost water.
4. Clean as much frost as possible from the inner walls of the freezer using a plastic
scraper. Do not use metal or sharp objects to break the ice!
