Carrying and installing

• Carry the appliance carefully and avoid collisions and big shakes.
• The incline angle should be less than 45°during carrying to avoid damage to the cooling system.
• The ground should be flat, sturdy, and horizontal for a stable installation. It is not only for safety but also for the stable working of the compressor without big shocks and noises.
• Install the appliance in a dry place. The appliance will get rusted and have poor insulation if in a place with humidity or water for a long time. Do not install the appliance in the outside place where rain can reach.
• Check all the positions for the package. Pack the appliance according to the original one before carrying it.
• Do not place the appliance under sunshine or near heating sources. It will increase power consumption and decrease plastic parts or surface coatings’ life.
• The appliance should have some distance from circumferences for good ventilation, heat radiation, and power consumption.

Usage at the first time

• Place the appliance according to the installation requirements. Open the door for air ventilating.
• Clean the inner cabinet before using it.

After installing the appliance, wait for 30 minutes at least before switching on the appliance. ( During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.) In the beginning, the cabinet is hot and the compressor will work for a long time and then stop by the thermostat at the set temperature. At that time, the compressor can work and stop regularly. Recommend to put goods into the cabinet when the cabinet temperature reaches the set temperature.

Thermostat

The cabinet temperature is controlled by the thermostat on the panel. The thermostat can set a suitable temperature range according to different ambient temperatures and different kinds and QTY of goods. The red indicator is the POWER indicator. When plugging in, the red indicator works. The green indicator is the OPERATION indicator. When the compressor runs, the green indicator works. The thermostat knob can be rotated to the freezer and refrigeration, when rotating to refrigeration, the cabinet temperature will be for refrigeration; and when rotating to the freezer, the cabinet temperature will be for freezing. Rotate the thermostat clockwise, it will be for refrigeration, the cooling time will be longer and the stopping time will be shorter, in this way, the cabinet temperature will be lower. Rotate thermostat widdershins , the stopping time will be longer, and cooling time will be shorter, the cabinet temperature will be higher. After adjusting the thermostat, it will take some time to reach the stable working.

General knowledge for usage

• Keep some spaces between stored goods. It does good for cooling air circulating and heat exchange and a better cooling effect will be achieved.
• For hot food, hold it cooled and then put it into the appliance. If put it in hot status, it will decrease the cooling level of the goods nearby.
• Put labels marked time onto the goods. The goods stored early should be taken out early.
• When switching off or a power cut, must restart after 5 minutes minimum. Or it will shorten the compressor’s life or even damage the compressor.
• Seal the food in freshly kept bags or closed containers to avoid smell-mixed or dry.
• Open the door as briefly as possible. Make sure the door is closed wholly to save power consumption.
• Set different cooling temperatures according to different goods. Too low a cooling temperature will waste power consumption.
• If know a power cut in advance, set the thermostat to a low temperature and keep the appliance cooling for some time. And open the door as briefly as possible. When power is cut, try not to open the door and do not add goods to the appliance.
• Clean the inner cabinet and outer shell in soft clothes with a neutral agent & warm water. Do not use hot water, corrosive cleaning agents, or organic agents.

After maintaining, check the below points to ensure safety.

1. Is the a connection between the plug and the socket?
2. If the plug is hot abnormally?
3. If there is any cranny or nick on the cord?

• Clean the door seal by a bleacher which is diluted by 10 times water. Then remove the remains with clear water.
• Before stopping for a long time, the appliance should be switched off, plugged out, cleaned wholly, and dried for some days .

Defrosting

Moisture in goods and air will change into frost on the low-temperature surface of the evaporator ( the inner surface of the cabinet). The frost will decrease the cooling effect. If the frost thickness reaches 5 ~ 7mm, defrosting should be carried out.

1. Switch off plug out, and take out all the stored goods.
2. Open the door, and remove the frost with a special defrosting shovel when the frost gets soft.
3. Open the drain hole on the bottom, and open the drain cover on the outer shell. The frost water will go out through the drain pipe.
4. Wipe off all the frost water, then plug in and switch on the appliance. When the cabinet temperature reaches the set temperature, put the goods back.

Attention
Do not defrost with metal edge tools or electrical heating tools. They may damage the evaporator.
