Chunks of meat are preferable to be divided into small pieces for easy access.
Please note food shall be consumed within the shelf time.

Tempera ture-controller components

( The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor)
The figures do not mean a specific set temperature, but temperature level.

The higher the figure is, the lower the actual temperature inside the refrigerator shall be. “OFF” means stop running.

Placement

Before using the upright freezer, remove all packaging materials including bottom cushions and foam pads and tapes inside the upright freezer, and tear off the protective film on the door and the upright freezer body.
Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the upright freezer in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of the insulating effect.
The upright freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat, and sturdy.
The top space of the upright freezer shall be greater than 30cm, and the distances from both sides and the backside shall be more than 10cm to facilitate heat dissipation.

Start to use

The upright freezer shall stay for half an hour before connecting power when it is first started.
The upright freezer shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the upright freezer shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient temperature is high.

Energy saving tips

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners 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, and close the door as soon as possible.
