Installation Instructions

1. 1. Avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
   From Cookers: 4″ (100 mm)
   From Radiators : 12″ (300 mm)
   From Fridges : 4″ (100 mm)
   Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, A space of no less than 10cm must be left around the freezer, and ensure you allow gaps as shown in the below diagram.

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

2. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface. By placing the appliance on a solid and flat ground will keep the appliance stable and ensure it will not give rise to vibration and noise.
3. Do not use the freezer outdoors.
4. Protect the freezer from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in a moist space to avoid the metal parts rusting. Also do not spray water on the freezer, otherwise it will weaken the insulation and causes current leakage.
5. Refer to “Cleaning and Care” section to prepare your appliance for use.
6. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold weather condensation may form on the outer surfaces. This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with a dry cloth.

GETTING STARTED

Before you starting to use the freezer, please check the following:

1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
2. Clean the interior as recommended under “CLEANING AND CARE”.
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply, then the red light will illuminate. Green light will illuminate and the compressor will start running. (Red shows electricity is supplied to unit and Green shows the compressor is working).
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is normal.
5. If you are going to store already frozen food open the freezer lid and check that the freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already frozen food.
6. Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer.

Important Notes:

• If there is a power failure do not open the lid. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 20 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• If you find that the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have closed it, this is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.

Freezer Operation

The inside temperature of freezer is regulated by thermostat adjustment knob.
“1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ”marks on the knob do not represent the exact temperature, but show that the smaller number represent the higher the temperature, conversely, the bigger number, the lower the temperature.

The following figure illustrates information as below:
“1（Refrigerator） ”: Temperature range（5℃）
“2-4 （Freezer）”: Temperature range（-12~-18℃）
“4-7（Freezer）”: Temperature range（-18~-24℃）
“7 （Fast freezer ）”: Temperature range（below-24℃）
There is a deviation of plus/minus 3℃ for each mode in different usage environments due to the mechanical control mode. Please make fine adjustment according to the actual use condition.

Fast freezer (below -24℃）: While set the knob to fast freezing range, please keep the compressor continuous operating without stopping, the food can be quickly cooled.

Caution : Do not keep the knob on the fast freezing position after fast freezing.

Refrigerating mode:
When change the refrigerating status to others, you should take out food to avoid them being frosted damaged. If shift freezing or soft freezing status to refrigerating mode, you should take the following steps:

• Set the knob of thermostat to refrigeration mode, then remove all of frozen food from freezer compartment, then keep it empty for one hour, then finally put the required food into it.

Due to individual factors of the refrigerator, the actual temperature in the box may have a certain error from the set temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the normal use of the product.

Instructions for Food Storage

Precautions for use
The appliance might not operate consistently (if there is a possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the freezer) when running for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the appliance is designed

• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as, the location of the appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door being opened, etc., and if appropriate, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors.
• Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer. Some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.
• The freezer is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long period of time.

Storing Frozen Food
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:

• Put food in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
• Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
• The freezer temperature is controlled below -12º C, and it is advisable to store the foodfor long-term preservation in the freezer, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
• The freezer basket is used to store food that is easy to access.
• Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, to avoid it bursting due to volume expansion after the liquid becomes frozen.
• Before freezing foods, ensure packing/bag used are dry, this avoids the packaging/ bags sticking together frozen.
• To avoid contamination and odour transfer, foods should be packed and/or covered by suitable materials. Eg. firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic, pollution-free.

Freezing Fresh Food

• Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible.
• Never exceed the maximum capacity.
• Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.
• The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre as quickly as possible.
• Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer.

Defrosting

• Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
• Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
• Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
• 6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at the ‘5’ position to make sure the food is at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
• Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
  When defrosting has finished flow out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer as the below diagram and dry the interior thoroughly.
  

1. A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer liner, and when defrosting, remove its rubber cover (you can find the rubber cover in the freezer accessory bag and be sure to install it by yourself), then the defrosting water flows out and is discharged from the drain pipe. (NOTES: PLEASE KEEP THE RUBBER COVER WELL DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK AFTER DEFROSTING IS DONE )
2. Extract the water conduit by 20–25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the water conduit in place and make the arrow point upward.

Important Notes:

• Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
• It is normal that water beads or frosts appear on the freezer collar and door gaskets in the wet weather, which will not affect the normal use. In such case, please clean it with a dry cloth in time.

CLEANING AND CARE

• We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
• Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
• Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
• If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.
• Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

Important: Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it with a dry cloth thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
