Level ground

Place the freezer on the solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to vibration and noise. When the freezer is placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates should be applied underneath the freezer, so as to prevent color change due to heat dissipation.

Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an embedded structure.

Preparations for use

Standing time

After the freezer is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make sure to energize the freezer after more than 1 hour's standing, so as to ensure its normal operation.

Cleaning

Confirm the accessory parts inside the freezer and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.

Power-on

Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.

Storage of food

After the freezer runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the freezer will be automatically controlled according to the user's temperature setting. After the freezer is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2-3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the freezer door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools down).

If the freezer is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the freezer contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the freezer away from the wall. Setting up the freezer may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television surrounding it, so try to keep the freezer as far away as possible in such case.

Instructions for food storage

Precautions for use

The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the refrigerating appliance is designed

The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.

The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors should be made.

Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.

Food storage location

Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas.

The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.

The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.

Use of the fresh food compartment

Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.

Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.

Use of the crisper humidity regulating rod

The humidity regulating rod of the crisper box is design to maintain the humidity and freshness of the vegetablesstored inside.

When the humidity regulating rod is slide to the right, with more holes exposed, lower humidity will be kept inside the crisper box.

When the humidity regulating rod is slide to the left, with less holes exposed, higher humidity will be kept inside the crisper box.

Cautions for food storage

You'd better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.

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 fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.

Categorized storage of foods : Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.

Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.

Storage of fruits and vegetables

In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment

The freezer temperature is controlled below -18°C , and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration 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 radiator. 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.

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 water 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 detergent.

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 detergent, 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 normal 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.
