control knob up or down to regulate the temperature inside the
freezer. The markings on the control knob indicate “1~4”for different
temperature levels. The temperature decreases with

Store Frozen Food
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the
temperature control to set “4”for at least two hours before loading
any food into the Freezer.

the manufacturers should be always be followed.
Be careful that the drawer or food does not interfere with the
refrigeration pipeline.
Freezing Fresh Food
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most

advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions
and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the
freezer. Prior to storing food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets
or freezing containers and place into the freezer. See the data sheet
at the rear of this booklet for the maximum permissible amount in
kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24 hour period with
a room temperature of 25℃. Never freeze more than the maximum
permissible amount.
Note: Never put glass bottled food or drinks in the freezer
compartment.
.For best performance, leave enough space in the Freezer
compartment for air to circulate around the packages.
Notice：You can use this unit without the drawers under some
conditions.

use any sharp objects to remove the frost or separate
the frozen food. The guarantee falls away should you use a
