Grounding requirement

Your refrigerator must be grounded. Your refrigerator is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is correctly installed and grounded. Incorrect use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether your refrigerator is correctly grounded.

Locks

If your Refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent children being entrapped. When disposing of an old Refrigerator, break off any old locks or latches as a safeguard.

Freon-free

The Freon -free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming insulation material (cyclopentane) that is environmentally friendly are used for the refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on the global warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed in a refrigeration system, without leakage during normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to keep the appliance away from open flames and open the windows for ventilation as quickly as possible.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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: 100 mm
From Radiators: 300 mm
From Fridges: 100 mm

• Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, A space of no less than 10 cm must be left around the freezer, and ensure you allow gaps as shown in the below diagram.
• The appliance should be placed on a smooth, level surface.
• It is forbidden to use the refrigerator outdoors.
• 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.
• Refer to “Cleaning and Care” section to prepare your appliance for use.
• 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. 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  thecompressor is running or not which is quite normal.
4. 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.
5. 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 is indicated on the production label. 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

The display panel is illustrated as the figures below:

Functions:

When the system is powered on for the first time, all LED indicators and the digital display light up, and will restore to normal display in 2s.

When the “+” / “-” key is pressed for the first time, the temperature value is subject to change; and when the “+” / “-” key is pressed again, the set temperature is increased/ decreased by 1°C accordingly. When the temperature range is set to be -12°C~- 24°C, the freezer mode is enabled.

Fast Freeze

When the “Fast Freeze” function is activated, the freezer temperature is automatically set at -32°C, and after running for 26 hours, the Fast Freeze function will get exited. Cooling down the freezer temperature in a rapid manner is beneficial to the prevention of food nutrition against loss and the preservation of freshness.

1. When the “Fast Freeze” function is active, the temperature is displayed to be “- 32°C”, which is subject to no change.
2. To enter or exit the Fast Freeze function When keys are unlocked, you can hold down the “+” key for 3s to enter or exit the “Fast Freeze” function.

Note: If the freezer temperature is set below zero (i.e., at the freezer mode) before the fast-freeze function is enabled, it will restore to the set temperature after the “Fast Freeze” function exits; and if the freezer temperature is set above zero (i.e., at the fridge mode) before the fast- freeze function is enable, it will return to -18°C by default after the “Fast Freeze” function exits.

Child Lock

1. When the “Child Lock” function is enabled, the temperature and function cannot be set, in order to prevent mis operation.

2. To enter the “Child Lock” function:
   If no key operation within 3 minutes, the freezer “Child Lock” function will be enabled automatically.

3. To exit the “Child Lock” function:
   You can hold the “-” key for 3s to exit the “Child Lock” function.

Power cut memory
In case of power failure, the freezer will maintain the operating state before power failure when power supply is restored.

Power-on delay protection
In order to protect the refrigerator compressor from being damaged in the case of short-time power failure (i.e., less than 5 minutes), the compressor will not be started immediately after it is powered on.

Fault alarm
In case E0 is displayed on the operation panel, it indicates fault with the freezer. Please contact the authorized service.

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 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 “-24” 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 and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three hours.

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.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. 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.
