Use the freezer for long-time food
storage
The inner temperature of the freezer is lower than
-18oC. Bacteria reproduction is completely
suppressed under such circumstance. Therefore,
the freezer is suitable for long-time food storage,
provided that the expiry date on the food pack-
age is observed.
Fast freeze
To preserve the nutrition, taste and shape, use the
fast freeze function to freeze the food in the shortest
time.
Start the fast freeze system at least 6 hours
before placing fresh foods into the freezer. Push
the fast freeze button (4), and the fast freeze indi-
cator (3) lights. (For the amount less than 10% of
the freeze capacity, it’s unnecessary to start the
fast freeze system.)
Place the foods to be frozen into different drawers
if possible.
The foods will be frozen thoroughly in 24 hours.
Press the fast freeze button (4) again to switch off
the fast freeze system. The yellow indicator (3)
goes out.
Tips for freezing
The amount of food to be frozen at one time
should not exceed the freeze capacity (10kg/24h)
of the freezer.
Operation Instructions

.8.
Allow warm food or beverage to cool down
before placing them inside the appliance.
Divide a large amount into smaller pieces that
are easy to be frozen thoroughly, so that the qual-
ity of food is best preserved. For fruits, the amount
should be less than 1kg, and for meat, 2.5kg.
Wrap or cover foods well before storing them into
the freezer. The packing material must be durable,
odorless, impermeable and not breathable so as to
keep the foods in good condition. Label on the pack-
age the expiry date for reference.
It’s advisable to take out the necessary amount
of food only. Don’t refreeze foods that have been
thawed completely. Cook the thawed foods
before refreezing them.
Do not store bottles of beverages inside the
appliance.
How to take out the drawer
The drawers can be removed from the appliance
when it’s loaded or unloaded with food. To remove
it, pull the drawer forwards and twist out sideways.
Operation Instructions

Freezer tray
The special tray for soft fruit and berries allows
you to individually freeze your berries prior to bag-
ging for perfect results.
How to use the slider
The freezer drawers are printed with illustration
of foods and figures that represent months. Push
slider ‘1’under the food symbol, and slider ‘2’
of the same color under the month figure.
For example:
The quality period of sausage is 4 months. Placed
in the freezer in January, the sausage may be
stored until May. Push slider ‘1’under the sym-
bol of sausage and slider‘2’of the same color
under the figure 5, for reference.
Making ice
Fill 3/4 of the ice tray with water and place it in the
freezer compartment. To remove the ice cube,
twist the ice tray gently or has it stay in running
water for a while.
Operation Instructions
.9.

Defrosting
The freezer compartment does not automati-
cally defrost. A thick layer of frost or ice will in-
crease energy consumption. When the frost
layer is thick as 4-6mm, it should be removed
with a plastic scraper.
.10.
Unplug the appliance before defrosting.
Remove the foods from the freezer
compartment. Wrap foods in several layers of
newspapers and store in a cold place. To speed
up the defrosting process, you may place a
saucepan with warm water inside the freezer.
Even in summer, power failure that lasts for sev-
eral hours doesn’t affect the frozen food in the
appliance. If a power failure is announced.
Turn on the fast freeze system so as to make
the foods as cold as possible.
Do not place any fresh food in the freezer at
the power failure. Keep the door closed during
power failure if possible.
Note
A continued power failure will have adverse ef-
fect on the storage period and the food quality.
Defrosting/Cleaning
Never use a metallic tool to defrost-
Danger of damaging the appliance.
Never use an electric heater to
defrost.

water and neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a
cloth or sponge. Do not use cleansers such as
soaps, paint, boiled water or acid, etc.

(1) Avoid splashing water on the freezer when
cleaning.
(2) Make sure that water doesn’t get into electric
components such as temperature regulator.

water.
For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be
removed from back and bottom of your freezer
from time to time.
.11.
