Frequently Asked Questions - PFR71400X Premium

How do I set the temperature on my Premium PFR71400X freezer?

Turn the temperature control knob to the desired position. Position 4 (factory setting) corresponds to -18°C. Positions 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest) cover a range from -10°C to -25°C. Use position 7 for fast freezing, but do not keep it at this setting for long.

How do I defrost the freezer?

When the frost inside reaches 4-5mm thick, unplug the freezer, remove all food, and leave the door open to melt the frost. Wipe up water with a soft cloth. Do not use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost, as they may damage the evaporator.

Why does my freezer make a noise like running water?

This is normal. The sound is caused by refrigerant circulating in the pipes. Additionally, the compressor may reach temperatures up to 70-80°C, and the back side of the freezer may emit heat. These are not defects.

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

Check if the door is opened too frequently, if there is excessive frost build-up, if food is packed too tightly (blocking air circulation), or if the condenser is dirty. Also ensure the door seals properly. Defrost if frost is thick, clean the condenser, and reduce door openings.

How should I clean the freezer?

Turn off the power and remove all food. Clean the inside with water or a mild neutral detergent. Do not use boiling water, acid, chemical diluents, petrol, oil, or abrasive powders. Dry thoroughly before reuse. Clean the door seal with light soapy water and apply talcum powder after drying.

Can I store bottled beverages in the freezer?

No, do not put bottled or canned beverages with freezing points above the cabinet temperature into the freezer when below zero, as they may burst. For other foods, wrap them in airtight bags to avoid odor mixing and reduce frost.

What electrical requirements does the freezer have?

The freezer requires a single-phase power supply, 60Hz, 98-132V. Use a wire with at least 0.82mm² section and a 2.5A fuse. If the voltage is unstable, install a voltage stabilizer over 1000W. Do not turn the power off and on frequently; wait 5 minutes before restarting.

Why is there condensation on the outside of the freezer?

In rainy or humid seasons, moisture on the outer surface is normal and not a defect. Simply wipe it dry with a cloth. This occurs due to high ambient humidity.

How can I reduce noise from the freezer?

Ensure the freezer is placed on a level surface. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Also check that the back pipes are not touching the exterior walls and that the door is properly tightened.

What should I do if the freezer will not be used for a long time?

Unplug the freezer, remove all contents, clean it thoroughly, and leave the door slightly open to prevent mildew. Before reuse, check that the power cord and circuit are in perfect condition.

Transportation and Placement

△ When transporting the chest freezer from one place to another, the inclination of the cabinet should not exceed 45 degrees to prevent against compressor or system damage.
△ Before use, remove all the packing material. The back side of the cabinet should be more than 20cm away from the wall, both flank sides more than 20cm.
△ The freezer should be put in a well-ventilated, dry place. Do not place it under direct sunshine. The freezer should be kept away from the water sink, heat sources and any volatile or corrosive material.

Power source and test-running

Specified capacity of the wire is 7A. Section squares of the wire is 0.82mm^2 Single line or compound lines are all allowed. A fuse of 2.5A specified electric current should be installed. (Power cord should be replaced with the same of 7A and 0.82mm^2 if it is damaged).
△ Single-phase power supply, 60Hz, voltage range 98\~132V. If the voltage is unstable, please install a voltage stabilizer with capacity above 1000W.
△ Avoid turning the power on and off too frequently. If the power is turned off, wait an interval of 5 minutes before turning it on again.
△ When the freezer is going to be out of use for a long time, disconnect the power first, remove all its contents and then clean it. Please examine the circuit whether it is in perfect conditions before reuse.

Operation of the Temperature Control Knob

△ The temperature inside the cabinet can be controlled with the temperature control knob.
△ The knob should be kept upright normally to adjust the temperature. “7” is the coldest freezing setting and is suitable for fast freezing. Do not keep the knob at this point for long.
△ “1”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -10°C
△ “2”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -12^
△ “3”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -15°C
△ “4”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -18℃ (Factory setting)
△ “5”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -20°C
△ “6”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -22°C
△ “7”: temperature inside the freezer cabinet is around -25°C

Food storage

△ Allow space between the foods stored in the cabinet, and between the foods and the inner surface of the cabinet to keep good ventilation of cold air and

freeze evenly. Do not put in any bottled or canned beverages with freezing points above the temperature in the cabinet when it is below zero.

△ For foods that should be moisture-free or lose water easily, wrap them up in airtight food bags or containers before putting in the cabinet to avoid smell-mixing and reduce frosting.
△ Storage of volatile and combustible gases, liquids such as strong alkalis, strong acids, petrol, etc. is not allowed.

Maintenance

△ The freezer should be cleaned regularly. When cleaning, turn off the power, take out all the food from the cabinet, and clean the inside using water or a little neutral detergent.
△ Do not use boiling water, acid, chemical diluents, petrol, oil, or dirt- removing powder.
△ Dry it after cleaning.
△ Use light soap water when cleaning the door seal and apply a little of talcum powder on it after natural drying to extend its service life.
△ Use a soft cloth with water or a little detergent to clean the exterior surface. Note: Keep the power supply and connecting wires away from water to avoid electric shock.
△ Those who are not a service technician should not take apart and repair the freezer on their own to avoid additional trouble. Unauthorized repairs of electrical parts as compressor, temperature controller is forbidden.

Defrosting

△ For better freezing efficiency, defrost when the frost film inside the cabinet is 4-5mm thick.
△ When defrosting, turn off the power, take out the frozen foods, open the door for warming and melting. Use a soft cloth to absorb water and clean it up.
△ Do not use sharp metal tools as steel brushes to clean the frost film when defrosting to avoid evaporator damage.

Trouble shooting

Failure	Cause	Removal method
The indicator is not on. The compressor does not start.	The plug is not really connected to the socket.	Replug it.
	No power	Connect to a socket with power.
The indicator is on, but the compressor does not work and buzzes only	The power voltage is<98V.	Install a power-regulator over 1000W.
The compressor stops a minute after starting, and restarts after a few minutes repeatedly.	The power voltage is>132V.
The compressor works normally, but the temperature inside the cabinet goes down too slowly.	The door is opened too frequently.	Reduce door opening times.
	There is too much food inside the cabinet And/ or it is improperly placed.	Place foods properly keeping space between them for ventilation of cold air.
	The frost film is too thick.	Take out the food and defrost the freezer.
	The surface of the condenser is too dirty.	Stop and clean the condenser.
	The door is not sealing.	Adjust the door seal.
The noise is too loud	The freezer not level.	Level the freezer.
	The freezer door is loose.	Tighten the door.
	There is contact between the back pipes and the exterior walls.	Separate the pipes from the exterior walls.

The following are not failures:

△ When the freezer is working or after is stops for a while, the refrigerant in the pipes is cycling and produces “running water” sounds.
△ The surface temperature of the compressor may be up 70°C\~80°C when it is working.
△ The back side of the freezer gives out heat.
△ In rainy season, the outer surface of the cabinet may have dew, which is not a defect on normal use. Just dry it with a piece of cloth.
