and activate the circuit-breaker, the compressor may be overloaded, and/or other damage may occur.

FIRST USE

Regulation of temperature controller and quick-frozen

After connecting the freezer to a power source switch the thermostat knob to the position between 1 and 3. The freezer will start working.

Close the door, after about 30 minutes the housing of the freezer on the right or left side should be warm, and the temperature in the cooling chamber should decrease. This means proper operation of the compressor.

Freezer is controlled by thermostat.

In "0" - OFF position freezer stops working.

For positions "1 to 3", the lower setting, the higher cooling temperature.

The appliance should be set at a higher level for the user. The level "3" is suitable for fast freezing.

After rapid freezing it is recommended to bring the thermostat to its normal operating position.

Storage and frozen food

Add a freezer inside the room temperature of food should not be too much, or the food will have an impact on the effect of freezing and preservation.

Connect power, freezer compressor started, the full cooling box to be confirmed, the add to be frozen food, the first time in more run-time should be longer, about 2 \~ 3 hours

Food storage, food should stay around a certain gap in order to facilitate the flow of inside air-conditioning, cooling evenly

Do not put in freezer the box below the freezing point temperature of bottled, canned drinks, which to prevent Frost Crack.

DEFROSTING AND CLEANING

When 5mm frost forms in the freezer, please shave it and throw it away.

If you defrost completely, please do it as follows.

Please make inside empty. And disconnect the power cord plug.

CHECK BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Please check the following Items if you encounter problems with the unit.

No refrigeration at all	- Is the power supply interrupted?- Is the power cord plug disconnected from the wall outlet?- Are the power fuses blown and/or the circuit breaker activated?- The temperature control did in the direction of MAX. if foo cold, turn dial indirection of OFF?
Inadequate Refrigeration	- Is the place of installation badly ventilated?- Is the freezer exposed to direct sunlight, placed near a heater or stove? 1 Are the lids opened and closed frequently?- Are items stocked beyond the load line?- The temperature control dial in the direction of MAX. If too cold, turn dial in direction of MIN?- Much frost forms in the chest freezer?
Excessive noise	- Is the floor underneath the freezer sturdy enough?- Is the unit shaking and rattling?- Is the rear panel of the unit contacting a wall, etc,?- A container or something is behind the chest freezer?- The compressor will generate a rather loud sound for a while after operation is started. The noise will cease together with refrigeration.
Condensation on cooler exterior	- Condensation may condense on the exterior and door during hot and humid days or depending on the place of installation. This occurs when the humidity is high and water particles in the air contact cold surfaces. This is normal. Wipe away condensation with a dry cloth.
The circumference of chest freezer feels hot	- Especially in summer or in starting running, the circumference of chest freezer feels hot. Because chest freezer inside has a pipe for radiating and preventing condensation.The heat do not affect inside goods.

Appliance sometimes stop running when thermostat furns off.
