User’s Manual

1. This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,

service or maintenance or inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to

property.

2. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time.

3. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that other users including new users are familiar

with the contents.

4. Do not modify the power cord length or sharing of outlet with other appliances and don’t replace

the power cord with the damaged or unspecified power cord. It will cause electric shock or fire. If

the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by authorised service person as specified by the

manufacturer.

5. Plug in the power socket properly. Loose plug in causes electric shock or fire due to heat generation.

6. Do not switch ON/OFF the appliance with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.

7. Use only dedicated power socket for supply to the appliance. Do not use an extension cord; it may

cause overloading and intermittent tripping of other appliances or household lights.

8. Never splash water on your appliance. It may cause short circuit.

9. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this

appliance must be grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you have doubts on

whether the appliance is properly grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an

electric shock.

User’s Manual

3. Wait for 10 minutes or longer before reconnecting the plug. (It may cause the operation of the

appliance to fail.)

4. Do not install the appliance in a wet place or a place where water or rain splashes. (Deterioration of

insulation of electrical parts may cause electrical leakage.)

the appliance to avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin detachment).

6. If you are not using the appliance for an extended period, leave the lid open to prevent odours

building up inside. When the appliance lid is open, always set the lock in closed position and keep

the key away from small children to prevent accidents.

Technical safety

This appliance contains a small amount of natural refrigerant (R290, R600a), a natural gas that is

environment friendly. Though it is ammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase

the greenhouse eect. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that

no parts of the refrigerating circuits are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or

cause an eye injury. In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash your eyes instantly with plenty

of running water and call/consult an eye specialist immediately. If a leak is detected,

a) avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,

b) switch off at the mains and unplug the appliance,

c) ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and

d) call Blue Star Ltd.

The room must be 1 cubic metre in size for every 8g of R290 or R600a, whichever refrigerant inside the

appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identication plate. The

refrigerant charge quantities are as per international standards. Never start up an appliance showing any

sign of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The amount of refrigerant used in the appliance depends

upon the size of the room where it will be installed. This can prevent creation of ammable gas and air

mixture if a leak in refrigerating circuit occurs.

Installation & Operation

Before the technician arrives, please ensure the following:

1. There is clear access to the area for new appliance installation and that it will fit into the space.

2. It is a dry, cool place with good ventilation to enable the appliance to work more efficiently.

3. There is a proper electrical power point (single phase, 230V; 6 Amp power socket with strong earthing)

which should be 2 metres above the floor/ground level.

4. Someone responsible is at home/shop to sign for the installation.

If the customer is uncertain that the appliance installation can meet the requirements listed above, please

do not hesitate to call for discussion on (Toll-free service centre phone 1860 266 6666/1800 209 1177)

the problem.

Installation

Blue Star’s dealer technician will carry out the installation of your Chest Freezer. However, for your general

information, the following aspects need to be taken care of during installation:

1. The appliance should be installed at a suitable site, on a good, firm and level surface.

2. Any floor unevenness should be corrected at the time of installation.

3. A gap of at least 6 inches (150mm) must be allowed on all sides to facilitate adequate air circulation

on all sides of the cabinet.

4. The appliance is full of fluid/refrigerant that is used to cool it. In transit, it may get shaken around,

so it is better to let it settle before it is plugged in.

5. Leave the appliance stand in the final position for at least 3 hours before switching it on, so that the

refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating problems occur.

6. The appliance should be connected to a single phase 230V 50Hz AC supply by means of a three-pin

plug, suitably earthed. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green : Earth Blue/Black : Neutral Red : Phase

7. It is recommended that the interior of the appliance be cleaned before putting it to use. Lukewarm

water containing a little bicarbonate of soda, mixed in the proportion of 1 teaspoonful of bicarbonate

to 500ml of water, should be used for the purpose.

8. The outside of the appliance should also be cleaned before startup with soft dry cloth.

9. Test the Propane freezer to make sure, there are no leaks of both refrigerant and electrical power.

Operational DOs & DON’Ts

Hard Top Chest Freezer

Maintenance

Frosting

Small amount of frost will accumulate inside the appliance, depending upon the frequency and duration of

the lid operation or the amount of moisture inside and relative humidity outside. It is essential to ensure

that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will aect the close tting of the lid, which might

allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.

Removing frost

Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or a plastic scraper.

Do not use metal or sharp scrapers which may lead to removal of paint from the surface

of the cabinet.

Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. For the removal of light frost, it is not necessary

to switch off the appliance.

For removing heavy ice deposits, the appliance should be completely disconnected from

the power supply and emptied.

The contents should be placed in a cardboard box and wrapped in thick blankets or layers of paper

to keep them cold.

Cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water mixed with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly.

Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Do not forget to insert the drain plug.

Clean the condenser with the blower every fortnight.

Defrost Water Drainage Method

1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the appliance; when defrosting, pull out the plastic cover;

defrosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (Note: Please keep the plastic cover safe during

the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done.)

2. Pull out 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; then put the plastic cover

back in place and make the arrow point upward.
