PRODUCT INSTALLATION
•Install the freezer on even and sturdy surface. Uneven surface may
cause objects in it to fall.
•Provide adequate space for air circulation between the freezer and the
wall or other objects. Back and side clearance is 10 cm, and top
clearance is 70 cm.
•Do not put freezer near heat sources such as stove, ovens, boilers, etc.
•Do not put freezer under direct sunlight or exposed to rainwater to avoid
electrical current leakage
•Ensure that the voltage and frequency match the freezer specification,
which are 220 V and 50 Hz.
•Do not use cord extension or branched outlet since it poses risks of
shortage, overheating and fire.
•If the unit must be installed in a humid environment, make sure to install
a circuit breaker to avoid shortage.
FIRST TIME USE
Before using the freezer for the first time, clean the interior and accessories
using lukewarm water and neutral soap to eliminate bad odor typical from
newly manufactured product. After that, dry before use.
Part 3: Quick Start Guide
WARNING! The power plug must be easily accessed and unplugged
after installation
WARNING! Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaners as it will
damage the product finishing

8
INITIAL USE
1. Open the freezer door for a while to provide good air circulation before
use
2. Clean the inner cabinet before use
3. Please wait 30 minutes before turning on the freezer. Oil in the
compressor may circulate to the refrigerant system during the
transportation or distribution process
4. When turning the freezer for the first time, cabinet may become warm
and the compressor will operate in a very long time to achieve ideal
temperature. Upon reaching the ideal temperature, the thermostat will
stop the compressor and the freezer will operate normally
5. Do not put foods into the freezer before the ideal temperature is reached

•To activate Fast Freezing, set the temperature from -1°C to -28°C, and
press and hold the Fast Freezing button for 5 seconds. The Fast
Freezing indicator lamp will turn on.
•To deactivate Fast Freezing, press and hold the button again for 1
second.
•Check the temperature after 4 (four) hours. If the temperature has
reached the desired level, you may use start using the freezer.
•The temperature will be affected by:
oAmbient/room temperature
oDoor open frequency
oQuantity of food stored inside
•To reach the desired temperature, all the above factors must be
considered, and a few adjustments may be needed.
NOTE: Do not set the thermostat to “Max” or “Fast Freezing” position
for a long period of time as it can cause damage to the compressor and
reduce its lifetime. This position may only be used to freeze foods
quickly. After the food is frozen, set the thermostat back to the desired
setting.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long
period of time. Place fresh foods on the bottom of the compartment.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
When you want to start the freezer after a long time, adjust the thermostat to
highest level and wait until 2 (two) hours before storing anything inside the
freezer.
THAWING
Frozen food can be thawed in a fridge compartment or at room temperature.
Small pieces of frozen food may be cooked directly, but the cooking time will
increase.
TIPS ON FREEZING FOODS
•The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add foods into the freezer
during this period.
•Freeze top quality, fresh, and thoroughly cleaned foods.
•Prepare the foods in small portions to make it freeze faster and can be
thawed in the required quantity.
•Wrap the foods with aluminum foil or polyethylene and make sure it is
airtight.
•Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch other frozen food. This is to
avoid a rise of temperature of the frozen foods.
•Lean foods freeze better and can be stored longer than fatty foods. Salt
can help preserve the foods.
IMPORTANT! If accidental defrosting occurs (for example in power
outage), defrosted foods must be consumed or cooked immediately.
Cooked foods can be re-frozen.

11
•Consuming ice cubes immediately from the freezer may result in frost
burns.
•It is recommended to label each individual package with storing date to
keep tab of the storage period.
TIPS ON STORING FROZEN FOODS
•Make sure that the commercially frozen foods were adequately stored
by the retailer.
•Be sure that the frozen food is quickly transferred to the chest freezer in
the shortest amount of time.
•Do not open the door too frequently or leave it open for a long period of
time.
•Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturers.
CLEANING THE FREEZER
To make sure that the freezer is in optimum condition, the interior and
accessories must be cleaned regularly.
•Before performing cleaning activity, switch off the freezer and unplug the
power cord.
•Do not clean the freezer using steam cleaner. Moisture from the steam
may damage the electrical components and cause electric shock. Hot
steam may damage plastic components. Freezer must be dried
completely before use.
Part 4: Maintenance
WARNING! Freezer may not be connected to the main electrical
socket during cleaning! Risk of electric shock!

12
•Do not allow such substances to come in contact with the appliances.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•Remove the foods from the freezer and store in a cool and well covered
place.
•Clean the interior and accessories using cloth and lukewarm water. After
that, clean with clean water and dry completely.
•Dust can accumulate on the condenser and cause performance drop.
Clean the freezer condenser at least once a year using soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
•After everything is dried completely, install the accessories and freezer
to the initial position.
DEFROSTING
Freezer will become progressively covered with frost and must be cleaned.
Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the frost because it can damage
the freezer. Use plastic scraper.
If the accumulated frost becomes very thick, complete defrosting should be
performed as follows:
•Unplug the unit. Remove the inner drain plug. Open the door and let it
open to accelerate the defrost process. Defrosting usually takes a few
hours.
•To collect the defrost water, place a tray beneath the outer drain hole.
•Pull the outer drain dial and rotate 180°. The defrost water will flow out
of the freezer.
•When finished, push the outer drain plug back to its place. Reinstall the
inner drain plug. Monitor the water level in the tray to avoid overflow.
•Clean the interior of the freezer and plug the power cord.
•Adjust the thermostat knob to the desired position.
IMPORTANT! Essential oils and organic solvent may damage plastic
components. For example lemon water, orange water, butyric acid,
cleaner that contains acetic acid.
