Your Appliance

Your Hybrid Chest Fridge/Freezer

NOTE: After long term use, there maybe a certain degrees of wear with the hinge, causing a noise when opening or closing the door, reducing the service life of hinge. It is recommended to regularly put the grease on hinge for maintenance as it can effectively eliminate noise and extend the service life of the hinge.

Using Your Appliance
The temperature controls are located on the front of your hybrid chest fridge/freezer.

The Thermostat Controls

• The power light will be lit green when the chest fridge/freezer is plugged in.
• The control dial rotates clockwise.
• Set the dial to ‘cooling’ to use as a refrigerator.
• Set the dial to ‘freezing’ to use as a freezer.

Temperature Range

• Freezing: -30 – 0° C
• Cooling: 1–10° C

Using for the First Time
Before plugging in your Hybrid Chest Fridge/Freezer, keep it still for half an hour. Once plugged in give your appliance time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait for 2-3 hours or for over 4 hours in summer or when the ambient temperature is high.

Food Storage Notes

• 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 class 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 freezing speed of the product is related to the amount of food stored and the ambient temperature.

If you need to place a large amount of room temperature food in the freezer at the same time, the thermostat will need be adjusted to the maximum gear 24 hours in advance. This will ensure the food can be frozen and will not deteriorate.

Usage Tips

• Do not store food uncovered in the appliance. Always use good quality, fridge-proof packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and seal bags tightly before freezing.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in the chilling compartment immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home fridge or freezer. Do not exceed any storage times listed on the packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
• Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drink in the chilling compartment as the container could explode under pressure and damage the chiller.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food which has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.
• CAUTION! Do not remove items if your hands are damp or wet as this could cause skin abrasions.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.
  Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
  Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and risk food spoilage.
  Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost building up inside in the unit.
  Please do not wrap items in aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towel.
  These materials 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, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.
