2. Place the appliance away from the direct sunlight and sources of heat from the stove, heater, radiator etc. The direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and the heat sources will increase the electrical consumption.
3. Remove the exterior and interior packing before using. It is necessary and recommended to keep at least 100mm of space away from the back and sides of the unit and it can allow the proper air circulation to cool down the compressor.

Preparation
After receiving the freezer or moving the freezer for a long distance, please let the machine stand for 24 hours before turning it on again.

1. Be sure to ground the unit and the grounding can prevent the electrical shock which would occur when the electrical insulation of the unit becomes insufficient.
2. Connect the unit to the power supply with the rated frequency and rated voltage indicated on the rating label. Please use the input power regulator upon 5 times alternating power if the voltage is much more fluctuant than normal.
3. Use the specified power socket and suitable fuse.
4. Hold the power supply plug not the cord when pulling out the power cord from the socket.

6. Turn on the power five minutes later after the power is off or stops running in order to protect the system and the compressor.
7. If the power supply cord needs to be extended, the connected cord area should be more than 0.824mm2 and the cord is composed of one or more wire. Don’t be connected with the multifunctional power supply socket.
8. Turn on the power and switch the temperature control knob to 3～4 position. Check the indicator light, compressor and ventilating fan after half an hour. The temperature inside will cool down obviously and it means the unit working normally.
