2.3 Placement
2.4 Start to Use
2.5 Energy Saving Tips
• Before using the upright freezer, remove all packaging materials including
bottom cushions, foam pads and tape inside, tear off the protective film on
the door and the upright freezer body.
• The upright freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place on
ground that is flat and sturdy.
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the upright
freezer in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulation.
• Please leave at least 30 cm of space above the upright freezer, and 10 cm
from both sides and backside to facilitate heat dissipation.
• The freezer must stand upright for half an hour before connecting power
when it is first started.
• Run the upright freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or 4+ hours in the summer, before
loading fresh or frozen food.
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Food that
freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap food properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the appliance to cut down frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Do not line storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon
as possible.

3 MAINTENANCE OF UPRIGHT FREEZER
3.1 Cleaning
3.2 Defrost
3.3 Stop Using
• Clean dust behind the upright freezer and on the ground to improve the cooling effect
and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris. Clean the door gasket
with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• Clean the interior of the upright freezer regularly to avoid odor.
• Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all food, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the upright freezer, with two tablespoons
of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After
cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean (such as narrow gaps or corners), it is recommended
to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. to ensure no contaminants or
bacteria accumulate in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in
the interior of the upright freezer or contaminate food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water
or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the upright freezer with a soft cloth dampened with soapy
water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes),
organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline
items, which may damage the cooler surface and interior. Boiling water and organic
solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or
damage to the electrical insulation.
• Manually defrost the upright freezer. Disconnect the plug from the wall socket, open the
door and remove all the food to a cool place. It is recommended to remove the frost by a
plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away
the remaining ice and water, and plug in the freezer.
Power failure: Food can usually be preserved for a couple of hours in case of power failure. It
is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening the door and to not put fresh food into
the upright freezer.
Long-time nonuse: Please unplug unused upright freezer for cleaning. Keep the door open to
avoid odor.
Moving: Do not turn upside or shake the upright freezer, the carrying angle can not be
greater than 45°.
Do not hold the door and hinge when moving this unit.
Please unplug the upright freezer for defrost and cleaning.
Do not use other mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process except those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Continuous operation is recommended when the upright freezer is
