2.5 Starting


•Before initial start, keep the freezer still for four hours before
connecting it to power supply.
•Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the freezer shall have
run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the
ambient temperature is high.
•Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and
drawers or it is subject to distributor statement.
2.6 Energy saving tips
•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. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
•Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. 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.

Freezer chamber
The Freezer will keep food fresh for a long time and is mainly used to store frozen foods
and making ice.
The freezer chamber is suitable for storage of meat, fish, and many other foods not to
be consumed in a short period of time.
Chunks of meat should be divided into small pieces or packets for quick freezing and
easy access.
Always follow the recommended storage times and dates, food should always be
consumed within the shelf life.
Drawers, food boxes, shelves, etc placed according to the positions in the picture above
are the most energy efficient position.

4. Maintenance and care of the appliance
4.1 Overall cleaning
4. 2 Defrosting
The freezer is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic
defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may
also be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power
supply or by wiping with a dry towel.
4.3 Out of operation
Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance
can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be
reduced, and no more fresh food shall be put into the appliance.
Long-lime nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are
left open
to prevent odor.
Moving: Before the freezer is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions,
vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the levelling
feet; close the doors and fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid
upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no
more than 45'.
The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the
appliance shall not be interrupted;otherwise the service life may be impaired
A
Dusts behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling
effect and energy saving.
Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket
with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks ,shelves,
drawers, etc.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the 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 in the freezer (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or
corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and
when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no
contaminants or bacterials accumulation in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors
in the interior of the freezer or contaminated 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 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 freezer 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 affect electrical insulation after immersion.

5 Trouble shooting
You may try to solve the following simple problems by yourself.If them cannot be
solved, please contact the after-sales department.
Failed operation
-
Odor
Check whether the appliance is connected to power or
whether the plug is fully connected.
Check whether the voltage is too low
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits
have tripped
Odorous foods shall be tightly wrapped.
Check whether there is any rotten food.
Clean the inside of the freezer
Long-time operation
of the compressor
Light fails to get lit
Doors cannot be
properly closed
Loud noise
Door seal fails to
be tight
Water pan overflows
-
Hot housing
Surface condensation
Abnormal noise
Long operation of the freezer is normal in summer
when the ambient temperature is high
It is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at
the same time Food should be cooled before being put into the
appliance
The doors are opened too frequently
Check whether the freezer is connected to power supply and
whether the illuminating light is damaged.
Have the light replaced by a specialist
The door is stuck by food packages
Too much food is placed inside the freezer
The freezer is tilted
Check whether the floor is level and whether the freezer is
placed stable.
Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Remove foreign matters on the door seal
Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration
(or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains
too much water.resulting in heavy defrosting
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which
is normal.when housing becomes hot due to high ambient
temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the
compressor is shut down provide sound ventilation to facilitate
heat dissipation
Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the
freezer is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just
wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation,
and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal.
Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce
creak, which is normal.
