Frequently Asked Questions - SF-C21K SANYO

How do I set the temperature on my Sanyo SF-C21K freezer?

The temperature is controlled by a mechanical dial inside the freezer. Turn it to a higher number for colder temperatures. Recommended setting is medium (3-4) for normal use.

What should I do if the freezer is not cooling properly?

Check if the power cord is plugged in, the thermostat is set correctly, and the condenser coils are clean. Also ensure the door seals tightly. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.

How often should I defrost the SF-C21K freezer?

Defrost when the frost buildup reaches about 5 mm (0.2 inches) to maintain efficiency. This typically occurs every 6-12 months depending on usage and humidity.

Can I install the freezer in an unheated garage?

Yes, the SF-C21K is rated for climate class SN-T, meaning it can operate in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C (50°F to 109°F). However, avoid placing it in areas where the temperature drops below 10°C (50°F).

What is the storage capacity in kilograms?

The 210-liter capacity can hold approximately 150-180 kg of frozen food, depending on packaging and arrangement.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the freezer. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the coils located at the back or bottom of the unit. Do this at least once a year.

What type of refrigerant does the SF-C21K use?

The freezer uses R600a (isobutane), a flammable but environmentally friendly refrigerant. Do not puncture or damage the cooling circuit.

Is the door lock replaceable?

Yes, the lock is replaceable. Contact Sanyo customer service or an authorized service center for a replacement lock part.

What does the noise level of 40 dB mean?

At 40 dB, the freezer operates very quietly, similar to a quiet library. It should not be disruptive in a home environment.

How long can food stay frozen during a power outage?

If the freezer is full and stays closed, food can stay frozen for up to 15 hours. Keep the door closed to maximize cold retention.

Please check the following points when you found the chest freezer is not working properly.

The inside is not cool at all	Check if the power lamp is not on• The Power Plug is unplugged from the socket.• A power failure has happened.• A domestic fuse or a breaker has been out.
The inside is not cool enough	Has the installation properly done?Is the Temperature control in the proper position?Isn't the chest freezer in the direct sunlight?Don't you frequently open-close the foam door?Haven't you stored too much stock at one time?
Loud noise is heard	Is the floor firm enough?Is the chest freezer rattling?Is there enough space between chest freezer and the wall?Isn't there a container or something dropped behind the chest freezer?
There is condensation on outer of the chest freezer	There is a possibility to build up condensation on the body, the door or on the packing, when humidity is quite high.It is the same situation as condensation on a glass with cold water.There is no problem.
Sound like water streaming	It is not a trouble. It is the sound of refrigerant (liquid for cooling the freezer).
Outer of the chest freezer is hot	It may become hot especially in summer or the beginning of the operationIt is because pipes are equipped to prevent the interior from condensation and release the heat.It does not affect the food inside

* Check these points above firstly and if you still have any trouble. Please contact a dealer.

The following conditions are not considered as troubles of the unit:

1. The refrigerating system runs for a long time when the freezer is used for the first time or more articles are put into it.
2. Sound of running water. This is merely the sound of running refrigerants.
3. Condensation is normal when ambient humidity is high. Drops of water appear on the exterior wall of the cabinet.

To freeze is the basic work condition for the freezer. In such conditions, the knob of the thermostat should be placed to the freezing range of "1" \~ "7" (usually set at "5"). Position "1" is in "weak cold" work condition and position "7" is in "strong cold" work condition. If fast

freezing is needed for articles, the knob of the thermostat should be set to the position "7" after the articles are put into the freezer. Turn it to its original position when the articles are frozen. Do not fast-freeze for more than 4\~5 hours or it is not good for the refrigerating system.

Work condition:

A green light and red light are installed on the temperature control panel. The red light is power indicator which lights up when power is on. The green light is on when the compressor is running, or off when compressor is not running. This makes it convenient to determine if there is power or not and if the refrigerating system is working or not.

Reminders During Use

1. Do not put flammable or explosive articles, and corrosive or volatile organic solvents into the freezer So as to prevent accidents and to protect freezer cabinet from corrosion.

Never put in flammable or explosive articles, and corrosive or volatile organic solvents.

1. Temperature of the freezer should not be too high. Articles may be wrapped in a plastic. Its weight is <2kg, and piled with a 15-10mm clearance among them in order to keep convection of the air inside the cabinet and maintain excellent freezing effect.

2. Avoid putting beverage cans and containers in the freezer to prevent breakage.

3. To reduce power consumption, avoid keeping door open for a long time.

4. If the frost on the interior walls is more than 5mm, defrosting should be done.

▶ Method of defrosting

1) Unplug the unit. Take out all contents of the freezer. After the freezer temperature rises, frost will melt or scale off. 2) To speed up defrosting, place a pan of hot water into the unit and close the door. After defrosting, drain the water and then use a soft cloth to dry the interior walls. Plug unit and resume operation.

Note: Never use Sharp utensils to scrape off frosting layers.

In normal using conditions, power interruption should be avoided. Should power be interrupted accidentally, do not put power on for five minutes to avoid damages to compressor.

▶ Care & cleaning

It is suggested that the freezer be cleaned periodically; generally clean it every 30\~45 days. Unplug before cleaning, and use soft cloth with neutral soap water or mid detergent to scrub inside and outside of the cabinet. Do not use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline or benzene for cleaning any parts of the chest freezer. Dry it with a soft cloth. Never use water to rinse the freezer.

Proper air circulation

A space of approx 10cm is recommended between the back of the freezer and the wall. Also there should be minimum 100 cm.

free space above the top. These points are necessary for good air circulation and door opening.

Avoid heat source

Do not place the freezer in direct sun light or close to source of heat such as a gas range or an electric cooker.

Avoid moisture and rain

Do not place the freezer close to the sink or wash bowl as these areas have high humidity and may cause condensation on the freezer. Also avoid the rain.

Correct electricity voltage

Make sure that the input voltage is the rated voltage which is specified in the wiring diagram to prevent possible overloading of your domestic power circuits.

To prevent voltage drop in the power going to the chest freezer, plug straight into a wall socket. Do not use any electrical appliance from the same wall socket.

General Information

The refrigerating system for this freezer is mainly composed of fully-closed refrigerating compressor and interior evaporator, properly processed with a good cooling result, it is convenient for use, quiet and saves an electricity.
The hard polyaminoester foam(made from spot high-pressured foaming)is used for the thermal insulation which results in good performance and durability.
The interior door case is non-poisonous and odorless, and formed by easy-to -clean ABS plastic. It is made of a specially treated as: a. embossed aluminium sheet, b. White coating aluminium sheet. It results in a generally good; clean-looking; and durable unit.
The cabinet and door are made of cold-rolled sheets which have been bonderized and electrostatic-painted, is consistent in thickness, corrosion-resistant, flexible and scratch-resistant.
