Electrical Connection

WARNING
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with the standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This freezer appliance requires a standard 220-240VAC 50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
This freezer appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

Climate Range

The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is, room temperature, in which the appliance is working) the operation of the appliance is optimal (proper).
Climate range ………………………………………………..Permissible ambient temperature
SN………………………………………………………………………………………from +10°C to +32°C
N………………………………………………………………………………………..from +16°C to +32°C
ST……………………………………………………………………………………….from +16°C to +38°C
T…………………………………………………………………………………………from +16°C to +43°C
Note：Given the limit values of the ambient temperature range for the climate classes for which the refrigerating appliance is designed and the fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors, if appropriate.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: When operating in an environment other than the specified climate type (i.e., beyond the rated ambient temperature range), the appliance may not be able to maintain the desirable compartment temperatures.

Locks

If your Freezer is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent children being entrapped. When disposing of an old Freezer, break off any old locks or latches as a safeguard.

Freon-free

The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming insulation material (cyclopentane) that is environmentally friendly are used for the freezer, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on the global warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed in a refrigeration system, without leakage during normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to keep the appliance away from open flames and open the windows for ventilation as quickly as possible.

Preparations for use

Installation location

Ventilation condition

The position you select for the freezer installation should be well-ventilated and
has less hot air. Do not locate the freezer near a heat source such as cooker, and avoid it from direct sunlight, thus guaranteeing the refrigeration effect while saving energy consumption. Do not locate the freezer in the damp place, so as to prevent the freezer from rusting and leaking electricity. The result of the total space of the room in which the freezer is installed being divided by the refrigerant charge amount of the freezer shall not be less than 8 g/ M3.
Note: The amount of refrigerant charged for the freezer can be found on the nameplate.

Heat dissipation space
When working, the freezer gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30 mm of free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100 mm on both sides, and above 50 mm at the back side of the freezer.

Level ground

Place the freezer on the solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else, it will give rise to vibration and noise. When the freezer is placed on such flooring materials as carpet, straw mat, polyvinyl chloride, the solid backing plates should be applied underneath the freezer, so as to prevent color change due to heat dissipation.

Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an embedded structure.

Preparations for use

Standing time

After the freezer is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately. Make sure to energize the freezer after more than 1 hour’s standing, so as to ensure its normal operation.

Cleaning

Confirm the accessory parts inside the freezer and wipe the inside with a soft cloth.

Power-on

Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obviously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.

Storage of food

Afterthe freezer runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the freezer will be automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. After the freezer is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2-3 hours to be fully cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the freezer door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools down).

If the freezer is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the freezer contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around the compressor, move the freezer away from the wall. Setting up the freezer may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television surrounding it, so try to keep the freezer as far away as possible in such case.

Tips for special needs

Moving the freezer/freezer

Location

Do not place your freezer/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.

Leveling

Make sure to level your freezer/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the freezer/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it may lead to the operating failure of your freezer/freezer.

After locating the freezer/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Installation

Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.

When you are out for a long time

• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
• Take out all foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child’s play

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the bottom of the freezer, since you might be scratched by sharp metal corners.

Internal cleaning and external cleaning

The food residuals in the freezer are liable to produce bad odor, so the freezer must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the freezer often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.

Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to avoid damage.

Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.

Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system

• Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
• Try to open the freezer door as less as possible, in this way can food safely and freshly kept for hours even in hot summer.
• If you get the power outage notice in advance：

1. Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
2. You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food to be stored.

Note: Once the freezer is used, you’d better use it continuously; and under normal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.

Safety-check after maintenance

• Is the power cord broken or damaged?
• Is the power plug firmly inserted into the socket?
• Is the power plug abnormally overheat?

Note: Electric shock and fire accident may be caused in case the power cord and plug is damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality, please unplug the power plug and get in contact with the vendor.
