SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or
reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offi ces and other working environments;
• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
• Bed and breakfast type environments;
• Catering and similar non-retail applications.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate
indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power
cord.Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded
(two prongs) adapters.

USING INTRODUCTION
LOCATION
• Two people should be used when moving the appliance.
• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a
lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
• Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature
controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
• Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• This appliance is 44.9 cm (17.7 inches) wide by 83.3 cm (32.8 inches) high by 47 cm (18.5 inches) deep.
• Allow 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the back, sides and top of the appliance and all adjacent walls.
• This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this
appliance can cause it to malfunction.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the door is fully closed when the appliance is in operation. Failure to fully close the door can lead to excessive condensation and
potential water damage to fl ooring under the appliance.

DISASSEMBLY COMMON PARTS OF FREEZER
Checking the compressor
After the compressor is powered on separately, the compressor does not start and exhaust.
Use a multi-meter to test the resistance between C & M, C&S and S&M :
Normal range of C&M : About 8.76~11.85Ω
Normal range of C&S : About 7.48~10.12Ω
Normal range of S&M : About 16.24~21.97Ω
If the test result is not in this range then it means the inner coil has some problem and the compressor cannot work
properly.

Compressor Protector test ——
Use a multi-meter to test the resistance between the two terminals as the pic show :
If there show 000 or almost 0 then it is OK.
If there is no response then it is broken.

Checking the compressor accessory
Compressor PTC starter test ——
Use a multi-meter to test the resistance between the two terminals as the pic show
If there show the number is between about 3.7-5.7 then it is OK.
If there show 000 or no response then it is broken.
After the replacement of the combined PTC starter and overload protector,
the compressor still does not start.
If there is no exhaust, the compressor is fault.
