.Remove the energy label carefully. A glue residue may remain, particularly if
the label has been in place for a long period of time.
.Apply either Eucalyptus or Tea Tree oil directly on any residue. .Do not
allow the oil to run or drip onto plastic parts as it may
cause the plastic to degrade and potentially crack over time.
.Allow the oil to sit for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the glue residue
has softened.
.Wipe off with a damp cloth. .If any residue remains, repeat the above
process. .Rinse with clear water. .Dry thoroughly.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (pipes) or drive screws into it.
Although R600a refrigerants are combustible, the refrigerant circuit is
hermetically sealed and normally leaks will not occur.
WARNING
Should the refrigerant circuit be damaged: 1. Do not use flames or electrical
appliances nearby. 2. Open the windows to fully ventilate the room. Then,
contact the retail store where you purchased the freezer.

The internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of
the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door
opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature
control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors.
2. A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life. 3. Food to be frozen
is not to be placed in direct contact with food in storage and, if
appropriate, that it could be
necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is
anticipated. 4. The electrical power failure for 1-2 hour will only slightly
effect the inside temperature. However, open & close of
the door results in the temperature loss. In case there is more than 24 hours
electrical power failure, the food should be taken out from the fridge. 5. In
case you are leaving or there is no food in the fridge for more than 3 weeks,
The fridge should be unplugged and cleaned.
