Please read these instructions carefully before
use. Underline the important instructions and
keep the Manual in a safe place for later reference.
Remember to hand it over to the new owner, if
you ever sell the appliance.
What you have bought is a safe and reliable
appliance. With appropriate use and maintenance, it will
be in service for years. The last page of this User’s
Manual sets out specifications of this appliance and
the performance data indicated in the rating plate are
test results obtained at an ambient temperature range
of 16~32°C.
Important!
It is intended strictly for household use.
A leakage test has been conducted in accordance with
relevant UK safety standards.
To avoid the risk of child entrapment, please make
sure your old refrigerator is inoperative and safe by
removing any locks before disposal.
Important!
Please note that refrigeration systems contain refrigerants,
which require specialised waste disposal. Contact your local
waste disposal centre for disposal of an old appliance and
contact your local authority or dealer if you have any
questions. Please ensure that the pipework of your freezer
is not damaged prior to being collected by the relevant
waste disposal centre and contribute to environmental
awareness by insisting on an appropriate, anti-pollution
method of disposal. Please see the rating plate for the type
of refrigerant and insulation used.
The plug should be accessible after the appliance is
positioned.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
new power cable from the manufacturer or an authorised
service agent.
Caution:
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated place.
The transport packaging should be removed.
Caution:
Do not use a sharp or pointed item to defrost.
Caution:
Ensure the refrigeration system is not damaged.
Caution:
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
This User’s Manual is applicable to a variety of models and
therefore there may be slight changes in certain aspects
from model to model.

1.Environmental Protection and
Proper Disposal
Packaging Materials
The appliance is packaged in a way to prevent damages
during transportation. Recyclable materials are used.
The carton is made of corrugated board / cardboard
(mainly from recycled paper).
·Polystyrene parts (CFC-free foamed polystyrene)
·Linings and polyethylene bags
·Polypropylene straps
All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste
collecting centre and used again after adequate recycling.
All waste materials should be disposed of correctly.
2.Location
Make sure the freezer is kept upright during handling. If
tilting is required, it should not exceed 45 degrees,
otherwise the appliance may be damaged, resulting in
compromised refrigeration performance.
To avoid product damage or personal injury, the
refrigerator should be unpacked by two persons after it is
located in the required location.
Before installation, make sure the refrigerator has no
visible exterior damage.
When handling the appliance, do not lift it by holding the
doors, to prevent any damage to the refrigerator.
Do not start up a refrigerator that is damaged.
Check the refrigerator carefully for:
·Damaged package due to inappropriate handling
during transportation
Damage to the exterior
·Damage to the power cable / plug
If in doubt, please contact Customer Service for a
thorough check-up of the appliance.
Take necessary measures to prevent leakage of
refrigerant at the start-up of the refrigerator, which may
result in environmental pollution.
3.Installation
a) Remove all packaging materials.
b) Remove any items inside the freezer.
c) Ensure that all film and tape on the cabinet and the
door is removed.
d) Remove polystyrene chips (if any) around the freezer.
e) Take out accessories and literature from the freezer.
f) Clean the inside of the freezer with lukewarm water
and vinegar and then dry it with a soft cloth.
g) Use the spanners supplied to adjust the levelling leg to
ensure the freezer is stable.
Do not use detergents, sharp or pointed instruments
or soda-based cleansers to clean the refrigerator.
·Before installation, make sure the refrigeration system is
free of any damage.
·The freezer should be used for its intended purpose
only.
·The freezer should be positioned on a solid and even
floor to ensure refrigerant circulation and good
refrigerating performance.
·If possible, position the freezer in a cool and dr y well
ventilated room.
·Do not expose the freezer to direct sunshine and ensure
the ambient temperature is not too high.
·Keep the freezer away from heat sources, such as
heating systems, ovens or cookers. Otherwise, the
compressor will operate more frequently resulting in
extra power consumption.
Do not place any radiating apparatus, such as a
microwave oven, on top of the appliance.
Make sure the air vent is not obstructed.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cable. Always switch off at the mains, then grip the plug
firmly and pull it straight out from the socket.

If the freezer is placed near a heat source, it is
recommended to install a thermal barrier between the
appliance and the heat source (asbestos is prohibited) or
maintain adequate space between the freezer and heat
source as follows:
3 cm
30 cm
Cooker or Stove
Radiator or Oven
Another Refrigerator 2 cm

Warning!
After the freezer is installed, allow it to stand still for at
least 2 hours before starting it up to ensure stable
refrigerant circulation and faultless operation.
Before starting up the freezer, make sure the inner
compartment is dry (especially corners).
Danger!
Depending on the chemical composition, the refrigerant
may be flammable. The leak-proofness of the refrigerant
circulation system is test proven. Unauthorised
intervention with the refrigerant circulation system may
cause fire.
Make sure the refrigerant circulation system and the
peripheral parts of compressor are not affected.
Any intervention with the refrigerating system should
be conducted only by professional personnel.
Warning!
Refrigerant getting into eyes can cause serious injury. In
this case, rinse the eyes under running water and consult
an ophthalmologist without delay.
The appliance should be used within an appropriate
room temperature range, according to its climate type.
The room temperature for a specific climate type should be
observed. See the rating plate for the climate type of your
appliance.
Climate type Room temperature
SN +10°C~+32°C
N +16°C~+32°C
ST +18°C~+38°C
T +18°C~+43°C
4. Rating Plate
A rating p late is found on the side p anel or back panel of
the refrigerator, indicating important technical data.
Write down these technical data.
Write down This Technical Data.
Write down the technical data for later reference to avoid
the need for moving the refrigerator when such data are
needed.

5.Electric Connection
The freezer should use a properly earthed socket, which
should be checked by a qualified electrician. The
appliance should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical socket (no extension cables) which
has a voltage rating and a fuse rating in conformity with
the rating plate.
In case of non-conformity, consult the local service centre
or the dealer immediately.
The appliance should not be connected to a converter
(such as solar cell panels)
Do not use an extension cable.
6.Operation Instructions

· Temperature regulator (thermostat)
·(Temperature regulator is used to power on/off the
refrigerator, and select temperature settings.)
b).Startup
Turn the temperature regulator clockwise to start up the
appliance. (Do not try to turn the dial past the restricted
position, or you may break the temperature regulator).
The compressor starts to operate, until the interior
temperature reaches the required settings.
c). Setting the Temperature
In order to adjust the setting of the temperature regulator
of the freezer, use the key supplied by the manufacturer
and turn the temperature regulator clockwise or
anticlockwise to a desired setting.
