- The refrigerator adopts 230V/50Hz AC power. Voltage fluctuations over the range of 230V+/-10% will cause malfunctioning or even damage. Hence, an appropriate automatic voltage regulator must be installed in concert with the AC power.

- In case of gas leakage, please open the doors and windows. Do not unplug the refrigerator and other electrical appliances, considering that any spark may cause a fire.

- To ensure safety, it is not recommended to place regulators, rice cookers, microwave ovens or other appliances on top of the freezer. Do not use electrical appliances in the food pantry or any atmosphere where the ambient temperature is above 43^ .

- Warnings related to use

1. The interior needs to be dry with free air circulation.
2. Clean the interior as recommended under 'CLEANING AND CARE'.
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply the red light will switch on. After sometime the green light will glow, indicating that the compressor is running.
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
5. If you plan to store already frozen food, then open the freezer lid and check if the freezer has reached the correct temperature. Once the correct temperature has been reached, you can start storing your already frozen food. (See 'Storing Frozen Food'- Page <11>).

Important Notes:

• Avoid opening the door in case of a power failure. It will lead to cooling loss. If the failure lasts longer, then the food should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
• Formation of water droplets on side walls/top is normal during excessively humid conditions. kindly clean it with a dry cloth.

Temperature adjustment

Connect the freezer to power supply and "Power" Indicator (the green light) will turn on. "Run" indicator (the red light) will turn on operation.

The temperature of the chamber is adjusted through the thermostat knob. The number "1,2,3,4,5,6,7" do not mean a specific temperatures, the lower the number is the higher the temperature, inside will be and vice versa. The user can choose the right temperature zone according to their needs. Do not fast-freeze more than 4–5 hours or it's not good for the refrigerating system.

Indicator lights

The indicator light -set is placed on the front side of the freezer for easy visibility. Indicator lights mean the following:

• Red Light – Shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
• Green Light – Shows that the compressor is working.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Pre-packaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.

To ensure that high quality is achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer, please remember the following things:

1. After purchase, put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible to prevent defrosting.
2. Don't exceed the expiry dates of the food products.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

For freezing fresh food, store it near the side walls & away from already frozen food. This ensures fast freezing.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at a time.

The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the center as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

DEFROSTING

• Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7mm (1/4") has formed.
• You can defrost by switching off the freezer at the socket outlet and pulling out the mains plug.
• Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
• 6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at 'MAX' position to make sure the food is at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place.
• Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
• Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished, drain out the defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer.

graph LR
    A["Step ①"] --> B["Step ②"]
    B --> C["Step ③"]
    C --> D["Step ④"]

1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer. When defrosting, extract the rubber cover, defrosted water will flow out of the hole. (NOTE: PLEASE REMOVE THE RUBBER COVER DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK AFTER DEFROSTING IS DONE)

2. Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.

3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.

4. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out from the water conduit before putting it back in place. Once the water conduit has been put in place make its arrow point upward.

Important Notes:

• Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.

• We recommend that you switch off the freezer from the main power outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
• Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
• Use a damp cloth which has been dipped & squeezed in a solution of one teaspoon of soda bicarbonate mixed in a pint of water, to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
• Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper available. Large accumulation of ice will affect the performance of the freezer as it acts as an insulation.
• If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time, switch it off, remove all food and clean it.
• Check lid seals (gasket) regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

Important Notes:

Never use water to wash the compressor position and wipe it with a dry cloth thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
