Safety and Warranty
CAUTION FOR USING
-
Unpack all packages before using the showcase. Don’t bend it over more than 60° while moving it.
-
The showcase should be installed in the environment of good ventilation, Cool and dry and without corrosive gas. It should not be installed close to heat sources or directly under the sunlight. The space more than 10cm between the wall of the front and the back of the showcase should be allowed. When installing, the universal wheels should be padded well. So as to make the showcase be level and stable, or it will cause vibration and too much noise.
-
When initial operation, the refrigerator should run empty for about one hour before storing food in it.
-
Before placing food into the freezer, adjust the temperature control to the lowest point (highest number) and let it run until the temperature of inner cabinet decreases to 0°F. Put the food in, and after 12 hours adjust the temperature control to the normal point.
-
The thermostat could adjust the temperature inside the showcase. When you turn the knob in clockwise.
The bigger the figure, the lower the temperature. Generally, the position of ‘4’ is suitable. ‘0’ position stand for stopping operation. ‘Max’ position will be operating not continually as compressor won’t stop (no cycle).
Turn the temperature control to the “4” or “5” when temperature inside is stable for ice cream and similar products. -
Never store flammable, explosive or corrosive products in the freezer, and keep the freezer away from such materials.
-
If power is cut off, wait at least 5 minutes before turning on again to avoid damage to the compressor.
-
To save energy, the door should not be frequently opened for left open for a long time.
-
The surface and the inside of the showcase should be dry and clean. Long term moisture with cause the showcase rust slowly. (There will be some stains on the surface.)
-
Periodical cleaning is suggested for your reference. Generally, 30-45 days once is best. When cleaning, it is best to wipe the inside and the surface of the showcase with the soft cloth with neutral soap or detergent.

FOOD STORAGE
- Do not fill the freezer full of products. You should leave space between items and the inner surface of the cabinet, so as to keep good ventilation of cold air and freeze evenly. Do not put in any bottled or canned beverage with freezing point above the temperature in the cabinet when it is below zero.
- For foods that should be moisture-free or lose water easily, wrap them up with hermetical food bags or fresh films before putting in the cabinet for the sake of avoiding smell-mixing and reducing frosting.
- Storage of volatile and combustible gases, liquids such as strong alkalies, strong acids, petrol, etc. is forbidden.

Maintenance
- The freezer should be cleaned regularly. When cleaning, turn off the power, take out the food in the cabinet, clean the inside using water or a little neutral detergent.
- Do not use boiling water, acid, chemical diluents, petrol and oil, or dirt-removing powder.
- Dry it after cleaning.
- Use light soap water when cleaning the door seal, apply a little of talcum powder on it after natural drying to extend its service life.
- Use soft cloth with water or a little detergent to clean the out surface. Note, keeping the power supply and lower part of connect wires away from water to avoid electricity leakage.
- Except common breakdowns, those who are not service technician should not take apart and repair the freezer on their own so as to avoid worsening the trouble. Unauthorized repair of electrical part such as compressor, temperature controller is forbidden.
DEFROSTING
- Defrost for better freezing efficiency when the frost film in the cabinet is 4-5mm thick.
- When defrosting, turn off the power, take out the frozen foods, open the door for warming and melting. Use a soft cloth to absorb water and clean it up.
- Do not use sharp metal tools such as steel brush to clean the frost film when defrosting so as to avoid evaporator damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|
The indicator is not on.
The compressor does not start.
| The plug isn’t fully connected to the socket.| Replug it.
No power.| Connect the socket with power.
The indicator is on, but the compressor doesn’t work and buzzes only.| The
power voltage is <98V.| Put a power-regulater more than 1000W power together.
The compressor stops a minute after start, and restart after a few minutes,
and so repeatedly.| The power voltage is >132V.| Put a power-regulater more
than 1000W power together.
The compressor works normally, but the temperature in the cabinet lowers too
slowly.| The door is opened too frequently.| Reduce open times.
The food in the cabinet is too much, or placed improperly.| Place foods
properly, keep space between them for ventilation of cold air.
The frost film is too thick.| Take out foods and defrost.
The surface of the condenser is too dirty.| Stop and clean the condenser.
The door seals badly.| Adjust the door seal.
The noise is too loud.| The freezer is placed unstably.| Place it stably.
The fixing of the freezer is loose.| Tighten the fixing.
There’s contact between pipes.| Separate them.
THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT FAULTS:
- When the freezer is working or after stopping for a while, the refrigerant in the pipes is cycling and gives out “running water” sounds.
- The surface temperature of the compressor may be up 70~80°C when it is working.
- The back side of step freezer gives out heat.
- In rainy season, the outer surface of the cabinet may have dew, which makes no defects on normal use. Just dry it with a piece of cloth.
