INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side clearances:

From Cookers 4" (100 mm)

From Radiators 12" (300 mm)

From Fridges 4" (100 mm)

4" (100mm) 4" (100mm)

1. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, A space of no less than 10cm must be left around the freezer, and ensure you allow gaps as shown in the below diagram.

2. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.

3. It is forbidden to use the refrigerator outdoors.

4. Protection from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in moist space to avoid the metal parts rusty. And do not spray water to the freezer, otherwise it will weaken the insulation and causes current leakage.

5. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.

6. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold weather condensation may form on the outer surfaces. This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with a dry cloth.

STARTING

Final Check

Before you starting to use the freezer, please check that:

1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.

2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE".

3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply, then the Red light is on. Avoid accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will glow and the compressor will start 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 going to store already frozen food open the freezer lid and check that the freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already frozen food.
6. Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer.

Important Notes:

- If there is a power failure do not open the lid. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 20 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen. - If you find that the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.

FREEZER OPERATION

Power En Thermostat Adjustment Knob Refrigerator

Freezer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Refrigerator

The inside temperature of freezer is regulated by thermostat adjustment knob.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7" marks on the knob do not represent the exact temperature, but show that the smaller number represent the higher the temperature, conversely, the bigger number, the lower the temperature.

The following figure illustrates information as below:

“1 (Refrigerator) ”: Temperature range (5°C)
“2-4 (Freezer)”: Temperature range (-12\~-18°C)
“4-7 (Freezer)”: Temperature range (-18\~-24°C)
"7 (Fast freezer)": Temperature range (below-24°C)

There is a deviation of ±3°C for each mode in different usage environments due to the mechanical control mode. Please make fine adjustment according to the actual use condition.

Fast freezer (below -24°C): While set the knob to fast freezing range, please keep the compressor continuous operating without stopping, the food can be quickly cooled.

Caution: Do not keep the knob on the fast freezing position after fast freezing Refrigerating mode:

When change the refrigerating status to others, you should take out food to avoid them being frosted damaged. If shift freezing or soft freezing satus to refrigerating mode, you should take the following steps:

Set the knob of thermostat to refrigeration mode, then remove all of frozen food from freeze compartment, then keep it being empty for one hour, and finally put the required food into it.

Due to individual factors of the refrigerator, the actual temperature in the box may have a certain error from the set temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the normal use of the product.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a freezer compartment.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible. Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.

The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre 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 7 mm (1/4") has formed.

Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull 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 "7" 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 (e.g. fridge or larder).

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 hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished flow out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer as the below diagram and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three hours.

    B --> C["Step ③: Rotation of gear-like component"]
    C --> D["Step ④: Rotation of gear-like component"]

1.A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer liner, and when defrosting, remove its rubber

cover-, then the defrosting water flows out and is discharged from the drain pipe.

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

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

2. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the water conduit in place and make the 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.

- It is normal that water beads or frosts appear on the freezer collar and door gaskets in the wet weather, which will not affect the normal use. In such case, please clean it with a dry cloth in time!

CLEANING AND CARE

** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.

** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

** Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.

** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one 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 from your local store.

Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.

** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.

** Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

Important Notes:

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