The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compart- ments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold; The need to not exceed the storage time recommended by the food manu- facturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets; The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life. The necessity that, for doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the freezer appliance, in order to prevent children from being locked inside.

1. 7 Warnings for disposal

The freezer's refrigerant and cyclopentane foam materials are combustible materials and discarded freezers should be isolated from fire sources and can not be burned. Please transfer the freezer to qualified professional recycling companies for processing toavoid damages to the environment or other hazards. Please remove the door of the freezer and shelves which shall be properly placed to avoid accidents of children entering and playing in the freezer.(The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor) The low temperature of freezer may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice. The freezer is suitable for storage of meat, fish, shrimp, pastries and other foods not to be consumed in short term. Do not store fluids in bottled or closed containers items such as bottled beer, beverages, etc. Please be noted food shall be consumed within the shelf time. The coldest gear can quickly freeze food in a short time, if a large amount of food is frozen at once, it is recommended that the user adjusts the gear to the coldest gear 12 hours in advance. In this way, the freezing speed of the freezer compartment is increased, so the food can be frozen quickly and the nutrition of the food can be effectively locked. Remi nder: When the gear is in the coldest gear, the power consumption may increase. After the food is quickly frozen, please adjust the gear back to the normal gear. Notice: After long term using, there may be a certain degree of wear with the hinge which can cause noise when opening or closing the door and reduce the service life of the hinge. It is recommended to put grease on the hinge for maintenance regularly, it can effectively eliminate noise and extend the service life of the hinge.

2.4 Changing the Light (optional)

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person. Replacement of incandescent lamps: Disconnect the power supply before carrying out the bulb replacement. Hold and remove the light bulb cover. Dismantle the old bulb by unscrewing it counterclockwise. Replace by a new bulb (max. 15W) by screwing it clockwise, and make sure it is fixed in the bulb holder tightly. Reassemble the light cover and reconnect your freezer to the power supply.

The freezer shall stay for half an hour before connecting power when it is firstly started. The freezer shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods. The freezer shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient temperature is high.

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.

• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.12 V.2

3. Maintenance of the freezer

Dusts behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving. Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. The interior of the frezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove all foods, basket, container, etc. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the freezer, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power. For areas that are difficult to clean in the freezer (such as gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas. Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the freezer or contaminated food. Clean the baskets with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally. Wipe the outer surface of the freezer with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry. Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the freezer surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts. Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion. Please unplug the freezer for defrost and cleaning.)

The freezer shall be manually defrosted. Unplug the freezer and open the freezer door, remove foods and shelving basket before defrosting. Open the outflow hole and drainage hole, and place water container at the outflow hole. The indoor frost will naturally melt, wipe the defrost water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice scraper may be used to accelerate the de-icing process. Please remove the food and put in a cool place when defrosting before removing accessories.13 V.2 Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

3.3 Out of operation

Power failure: Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening door and do not put fresh foods into the freezer. Long-time nonuse: TPlease unplug the freezer left unused for a long time for cleaning. Keep the door open to avoid the bad odor. Moving: Do not turn upside or vibrate the freezer. The carrying angle can not be greater than 45º. Do not hold the door and hinge when moving this unit. The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance shall not be interrupted, otherwise the service life may be impaired.14 V.2

You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself. lf they cannot be solved, please contact the after-sales department. Failed operation Odorous foods should closely wrapped; Whether foods are rotten; Whether the interior shall be cleaned. Odor Whether the freezer is plugged and connected to power; Low voltage; Wheter temperature control knob is in the work area; Failure power or tripping circuit. It is normal that freezer operates for longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher; Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time; Do not put foods until they are cooled; Frequent opening of freezer door; Thick frost layer (defrost is needed). Long-time operation of the compressor Illuminating light does not shine The freezer door can not be properly closed Loud noises Transient difficulty in door opening Freezer enclosure heat Condensation Airflow sound Buzz Clatter Whether the freezer is connected to power, whether the light is damaged. Whether the floor is flat, whether the placement of freezer is stable; Whether the freezer accesories are properly placed. The freezer door is stuck by food packages; Too much food; Unbalanced freezer. The freezer enclosure may emit heat during operation specially in summer. This is caused by the radiation of the condenser and it is a normal phenomenon. Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a dry towel. Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and grunts which is normal and does not affect the cooling effect. Buzz will be generated by running compressor, specially when starting up or shutting down. The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter, which is a nomal phenomenon and does not affect the operation. After refrigeration, there will be pressure difference between the inside and outside of the freezer to result in transient difficulty in door opening. This is a normal physical phenomenon.15 V.2 WARRANTY CONDITIONS This appliance is guaranteed for three years from the date of sale against all manufacturing defects, including labour and spare parts.
