damage the hinges.
Installation
 Place the freezer on a flat, firm surface. This will help eliminate noise caused by
vibration.

 Choose a well ventilated area. There should be at least 10 cm of open space
along the sides, top, and back of the freezer.
 Select a location which is away from heating sources, direct sunlight, ovens, etc.
Also, the area should be dry, and free of damp, stale air.
WARNING! This appliance must be placed in a dry location.
Testing
 Clean the freezer with lukewarm water and detergent, and wipe dry.
 Note: Electrical components should be cleaned withal dry cloth.
 Turn the thermostat knob to the “NOR” position, and plug the freezer into the
wall outlet. The compressor will begin to run.
 Check, after 30 minutes of operation, to ensure that the freezer is cold.
Temperature Control
 The temperature control is located inside the unit.
 Turning the thermostat knob adjusts the temperature of the freezer.
 The marks on the knob represent different settings. Setting “MIN” is the
warmest and setting “MAX” is the coolest.
 The factory recommended setting is “NOR” for normal operating
conditions.
Tips and Hints
 Fresh foods such as fish and meat can be frozen to maintain freshness, and keep
the nutrients in the food.
 Food should be wrapped in aluminum foil, or some other type of airtight packing.
 Do not allow frozen food in freezer to touch foods just placed into freezer. It can
damage the food.
 Frozen foods from the store should be placed in the freezer promptly, so they do
not thaw.
 Never place fresh vegetables and fruits into the freezer as they can get freezer
burn.
Defrosting
When the freezer operates for a long period of time, the surface of the evaporator and the
drawers may become covered with a layer of white frost. This frost will reduce the energy
efficiency of the unit, and make the freezer less effective. When this frost forms, it should

be promptly removed. When defrosting, unplug the freezer, and remove all items from the
freezer. Either allow the frost to melt naturally from the warm air in the room. Finally, wipe
away any remaining ice and water, plug the freezer in, and return the food to the freezer.
CAUTION: Never use sharp tools to chip ice away.
Precautions:
 The freezer should be located in a place that allows easy access to the plug.
 Do not sit on freezer, or place heavy objects on top of freezer.
 Do connect your freezer to an independent power outlet. Always make sure to use
a safe ground wire. The voltage should be limited within the ranges from 220V to
240V, or the main motor will be damaged.
 After a power outage, wait 5 minutes before turning freezer on. Otherwise, the
compressor may become damaged.
 Always allow for proper air circulation to the back, sides, and top of unit. Also,
make sure the packing base is removed from the bottom of the unit prior to
operation.
 Keep the power cord away from the compressor and condenser to prevent
damage to the cord due to high temperatures.
 For best energy efficiency, open the freezer infrequently. Frequent opening of the
door requires extended compressor run time, which increases the energy
consumption.
 Clean freezer after each defrosts.
 Do not touch frozen food with wet hands, as you can suffer frostbite.
 Do not use the extended power cords.
 Warning-Do not damage the sealed system.
 Warning-Do not use electrical appliances inside the freezer.
 Before disposing of this freezer at the end of its useful life, capture the refrigerant
accordingly.
 The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
 Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
 Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
 Please dispose the appliance according to the local rule for the blowing gases.
