HORIZONTAL FREEZER
JCHTV–100
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TRANSPORTATION AND PLACEMENT
- When transporting the freezer, the inclination of the cabinet should not exceed 45 degrees, to the prevention of compressor or system damage.
- Before use, remove all the packing material. The back side of the cabinet should be more than 20cm away from the wall; both flank sides more than 20cm.
- The freezer should be put in a well-ventilated, dry place. Don’t use it under direct sunshine. The freezer should be kept away from the water sink, heat source, and any volatile, corrosive material.
POWER SOURCE AND TEST-RUNNING
- You can find the voltage and frequency of the freezer on the sticker located on the back. Because of the possible variation in voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), we advise you to use or install a separate circuit in order to eliminate the current variations and avoid engine problems. If the voltage is unstable, please install a voltage stabilizer with a capacity of 1000W.
- This device must be connected to an outlet with ground wire. This reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape from the mains. This unit is equipped with a plug with ground wire.
- Plug the device directly into an outlet. Do not connect the freezer to extensions or plugs that serve other appliances. Not amend the power cord.
- Avoid turning on and off the power too frequently. If the power is turned off, wait an interval of 5 minutes before turning it on again.
- When the freezer is not used for a long period of time, turn it off the power and then clean it. An empty freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove the lid or take other precautions so that accidents do not occur.
- DANGER: risk of children getting stuck in the freezer. Before you dispose of your freezer, remove the lid and the basket in order to prevent children from entering the freezer and getting caught.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature is controlled by the thermostat setting, which is located on the front panel of the freezer.
DRAIN HOLE
For easy draining of the defrosting water. We advise you to defrost the freezer once or two times a year.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The freezer temperature is regulated by the thermostat which is situated in front of the freezer.
INDICATOR LIGHT
The green light will be on when connecting the freezer to the main power and
will remain always on. Connecting the freezer to achieve maximum freezing.
- Turn the thermostat clockwise to the “MAX“ maximum freezing position.
- Keep the thermostat in the “MAX” maximum position for 3-4 hours.
- Once the maximum freezing is achieved, turn the thermostat to the “MID” medium position.
- To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat to “0”.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT FOOD IN THIS FREEZER UNTIL THE MAXIMUM FREEZING IS ACHIEVED, AFTER 3-4 HOURS OF BEING CONNECTED WITH THE THERMOSTAT TO THE MAXIMUM POSITION.
FOOD STORAGE
- There must be space between the foods stored in the cabinet, between the foods 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 a 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. Turn off the power, take out the foods in the cabinet, and clean the inside using water or a little neutral detergent.
- Do not use boiling water, acid, chemical diluents, petrol, oil, or dirt-removing powder.
- Dry it after cleaning.
- Use light soap water when cleaning the door seal, and apply a little talcum powder to it after natural drying to extend its service life.
- Use a soft cloth with water or a little detergent to clean the out surface. Note, keeping the power supply and lower part of connecting wires away from water to avoid electricity leakage.
- Repairs must only be done by a Qualified Technician to avoid worsening the trouble. Unauthorized repair of electrical parts such as compressors and temperature controllers 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, and 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 a steel brush to clean the frost film when defrosting so as to avoid evaporator damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
| Breakdown | Case | Removal method |
|---|
The indicator is not on.
The compressor does not start.| The plug isn’t connected to the socket really.
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<187V.| Put a tower regulator more than
The compressor stops a minute after the start, restarts after a few minutes,
and so repeatedly.| 1000W power together. The power voltage is>242V.
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 and placed improperly.| Place foods
properly and keep place between them for ventilation of cold air.
The frost film is too thick.| Take out foods and defrost.
I need surface or me 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 is stops 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 to 70ºC~80ºC when it is working.
- The back side of the step freezer gives out heat.
- In the 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.
