Transportation and Installation
Please read this manual thoroughly prior to equipment set-up, operation and maintenance.
• To prevent compressor or system damage, do not transport the unit on an
incline of more than 45 degrees.
• Do not use the condenser, lid, or hinges as loading or unloading points.
• Before use, remove all packing material.
• Ensure the freezer is placed on a stable surface to avoid vibration and
noise.
• Install the freezer in a well ventilated area with 4” clearance between the
surrounding walls and the cabinet wall for proper air circulation.
• The freezer should be installed in a dry place. Do not use it in direct
sunlight.
• If the unit has recently been transported on its side, please let the unit
stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
Cautions
- In the event of damage to the electric wires or plug, please contact the after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
- If the voltage is unstable, please choose the suitable automatic voltage regulator.
- The temperature control may need to be adjusted based on the amount of food in the freezer and the ambient room temperature. More food or a higher room temperature may require a lower temperature setting (higher number).
- Before placing food into the freezer, adjust the temperature control to the lowest point (highest number) and let it run for several hours. Put the food in, and after 12 hours adjust the temperature control to the normal point.
- Never put hot food directly in the freezer. Food should be cold or frozen before placing it inside.
- Do not fill the freezer full of product. For best results, meats and other large items should be divided into smaller parts, and you should leave space between items so cold air can properly circulate and maintain safe temperatures.
- If power is cut off, wait at least 5 minutes before turning on again to avoid damage to the compressor
- Non-packaged foods should be packed in plastic bags for proper safety.
- Never store flammable, explosive, or corrosive products in the freezer, and keep the freezer away from such materials.
Adjusting the Temperature
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted with the control knob.
If your unit has a numbered control knob:
Setting between “4” and “5” is standard for storage and service of ice cream.
If a different temperature is needed knob may be adjusted to a lower number
(warmer) or a high
number (colder).
Defrost System
To ensure optimal performance, unit should be placed into a defrost when the thickness of the ice on the cabinet wall reaches 1/4”. To defrost, turn the temperature control knob to the lowest setting (the lowest number, on numbered controllers) for 5 – 6 hours before defrosting. Power the freezer off and remove all product. Remove the ice buildup (DO NOT USE SHARP TOOLS). After defrosting, clean the wall with a dry cloth and then turn the power back on.
Please Note:
- The sound of water flowing during operation is normal; this is the refrigerant.
- When the humidity is high, condensation may form on the surface of the freezer.
- When the freezer is running, the condenser and compressor will be hot.
Operation/Maintenance
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by an authorized
service technician.
Loading Product
• In order to save energy, limit the number of times the lid is opened and the
length of time the lid is open.
• Do not place heavy or hot things on top of the freezer; this can damage it.
• Be sure to power the freezer off before cleaning it.
• Use a soft cloth with some moderate detergent and warm water to clean the
freezer.
• Use warm water to clean oil or fruit juice stains on the gasket in order to
keep its elasticity. Apply some talcum powder to it to prolong its life.
• The freezer should not be left unused for a long period of time. If you plan
to stop using the freezer, power it off, then clean the inside and keep the
door open for 2-3 days to let it dry.
Attention
• Children should not operate this machine
• Children should not play around this equipment.
• We have the right to change materials and specifications without notice.
Please find the specific parameters on the rated label of the product.
