Temperature Control

Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise, the temperature inside
Recommended ‘I-~ chest freezer will be lower and lower. gear
“COOLING” means cooling zone, “FREEZING” means the freezing zone.
“Recommended gear ”see the schematic marking position

( The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor)

Placement

The freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor and sturdy .
Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials including bottom Cushions and foam pads and tapes inside the freezer, tear off the protective film on the door and the freezer place; the ground shall be flat, and sturdy.

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 the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing 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.
Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. 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.

Maintenance of freezer

Cleaning

Trouble shooting

The following simple issues can be handled by the user. Please call the after- sale service department if the issues are not settled.

Inoperation
- Whether the freezer is plugged and connected to power; Low voltage; Whether temperature control knob is in the work area; Failure power or tripping circuit.
Odor
- Odorous foods should closely wrapped; Whether foods are rotten; Whether the interior shall be cleaned.
Long-term operation of compressor
- It is normal that freezer operates for longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher; Do not put too much food in the freezer at one time; Do not put foods until they are cooled; Frequent opening of freezer door; Thick frost layer (defrost is needed).
Illuminating light does not shine
- Whether the freezer is connected to power, whether the light Is damaged.
The freezer door can not be properly closed
- The freezer door is stuck by food packages; Too much food; Unbalanced freezer.
Loud noises
- Whether the floor is flat, whether the placement of freezer is stable; Whether the freezer accessories are properly placed.
Transient difficulty in door opening
- After refrigeration, there will be pressure difference between the inside and outside of the freezer to result in transient difficulty in door opening. This is a normal physical phenomenon.
Freezer enclosure heat Condensation
- The freezer enclosure may emit heat during operation specially In summer, this Is caused by the radiation of the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon. Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel.
Airflow sound Buzz Clatter
- Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and grunts which is normal does not affect the cooling effect. Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down. The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the operation.
