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

The low temperature of freezer may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice.
The freezer is suitable for storage of meat, fish, shrimp, pastries class and other foods not to be consumed in short term.
Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for easy access. Please be noted food shall be consumed within the shelf time.

Notice: After long term using,there maybe a certain degree of wear with the hinge,it will cause the noise when open/close the door and reduce the service life of hinge.It is recommended to put the grease on hinge for maintenance regularly,it can effectively eliminate noise and extend the service life of the hinge. The weight of the objects in the basket should not exceed 5KG. If the product is packaged in thin film, there may be condensation on the surface of the box and the film when the temperature and humidity of the transportation environment change rapidly. This phenomenon is a normal physical phenomenon, does not affect the use of the product.

Temperature Control

After power on , the “POWER” indicator light will belight( blue ).
The temperature in the box is adjusted by the temperature control knob; when knob adjusted within the scope of “COOLING”, the box is refrigerator;when knob is adjusted within the scope of “FREEZING , the box is frozen.The knob rotates clockwise to reduce the temperature in the box.

The top space of the freezer shall be greater than 70cm, and the distances from both sides and backside shall be more than 20cm to facilitate heat dissipation.

Start to use

The freezer shall stay for half an hour before connecting power when it is firstly started.
The freezer shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the 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 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

Dusts behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving. The inside of the Freezer and the location of food storage should be cleaned frequently so as not to produce an odor. Soft towels or sponge dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. The freezer of shall be finally cleaned with clean water and dry cloth. Open the door for natural drying before the power is turned on.

Defrost

Freezer shall be manually defrosted. Unplug the freezer and open the freezer door, remove foods and shelving basket before defrosting; Open the oulfiow hole and drainage hole (and place water container at the oulfiow hole); indoor frost will naturally melt, wipe the defrost water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice scraper might be used to the accelerate de-icing process.
Please remove the food and put in a cool place when defrosting before removing accessories.

Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the A refrigerant circuit.

Stop using

Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening door and do not put fresh foods into the freezer.

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.
