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 the 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 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.
Grounding requirement
Your refrigerator must be grounded. Your refrigerator is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an outlet that is correctly installed and grounded. Incorrect use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether your refrigerator is correctly
grounded.
Locks
If your Refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not
in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent children from being entrapped.
When disposing of an old Refrigerator, 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 usedfor the refrigerator,
causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on 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.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Our company declines to accept any liability should the instructions not be followed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
If possible, 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. -
3. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.
4. It is forbidden to use the refrigerator outdoors.
5. Protection from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in a moist space to avoid the metal parts rusty. Do not spray water
on the freezer, otherwise, it will weaken the insulation and cause current leakage.
6. Refer to the “Cleaning and Care” section to prepare your appliance for use.
7. 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 it with a dry cloth.
STARTING
Before you start to use the freezer,
- Check that the interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
- Clean the interior as recommended under “CLEANING AND CARE”.
- Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply, then the green light is on.
- 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 quite normal.
- If you 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.
- 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:
- In case of a power failure, do not open the lid. Frozen food will 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 the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after being closed, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference, which will equalize after a few minutes, allowing the lid to be opened normally.
FREEZER OPERATION
The inside temperature of the freezer is regulated by the thermostat adjustment knob. “1,2,3,4,5,6,7” marks on the knob do not represent the exact temperature values. The smaller the number, the higher the temperature.
The figures are as follows:
- “1-3”: Temperature range(10℃~-2℃)
- “3-5”: Temperature range (-2℃~-12℃)
- “5-7”: Temperature range (-12℃~-26℃)
- “7 “: Temperature range (below-26℃)
There is a deviation of±3℃ for each temperature mode in different usage environments due to the mechanical control mode. Please make fine adjustments according to the actual use condition.
Deep freeze (below -24℃): When setting the knob to the Deep-freezing range, Maybe the compressor continuously operates without stopping, and the food can be quickly cooled down. Caution: Do not keep the knob at the Deep- freezing position after deep freezing.
Refrigeration mode conversion
When shifting from the refrigerator mode to other modes, be sure to take out
the fresh storage food in time to avoid frost damage. When shifting from the
freezer mode or soft freeze mode to the refrigerator mode, take the following
steps set the thermostat knob to the refrigerator range, remove all the frozen
food, leave the cabinet empty for about 1 hour, and then put it in the food
for fresh storage.
- 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.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored according to the frozen
food manufacturer’s instructions for the freezer compartment. To ensure high
quality is achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer, the
following should be remembered:
- Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
- Do not exceed the “Use By”, and “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and
away from the frozen food, if possible. Never exceed this 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 center as quickly as
possible. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.
DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has been
formed. Alternatively, you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug. Extract the water conduit and put it in a water
container. 6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at
the “7” position to make sure the food is at the lowest temperature when taken
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, and 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 is finished, flow
out the defrost water which is collected at the bottom of the freezer as the
below diagram, and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and
leave it on for about three hours.
- A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer liner, and when defrosting, remove its rubber cover, then defrosting water flows out and is discharged from the drain pipe.
- Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
- Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
- After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before putting the water conduit in place and making the arrow point upward. How to use the ice-making box Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
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.
- Normally, water beads or frosts appear on the freezer collar and door gaskets in wet weather, which will not affect 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 main plug before cleaning.
- Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent, or 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 deposits of ice should be removed regularly using a plastic ice scraper available from your local store. A large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
- If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period 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 Notes:
Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it with a dry cloth
thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
