PLACEMENT OF FOOD
1. There should always be some space between
items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed packaging to
avoid becoming dry or spoilt.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing
into the appliance. Otherwise, the interior
temperature and power consumption will increase.
4. Reduce opening the door frequently.
This will increase the appliance efciently and reduce
power consumption.
Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature of the freezer can be controlled manually by adjusting
the thermostat dial located at the rear, near the compressor. The number
shown on the dial does not directly represent the temperature. Instead,
the larger the number is, the lower the interior temperature will be.
Turn the dial to position 3-4 (approx. -15
o
C) for normal use, turn it to
position 5-6 if a lower interior temperature (approx. -20
o
C) is required;
alternatively, to increase the interior temperature select position 2-1
(approx. -12
o
C).
The rst time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to the
maximum position (6). After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control
to the setting that best suites your needs.
Do not store objects which are costly or subject to temperature
variations. e.g. medication or chemicals.
ICE MAKING
To make ice cubes, ll an ice tray with drinking water
and place it in the freezer. To remove ice cubes
easily, run water on the tray before gently twisting
and inverting the tray.

Heavy frost will effect the refrigerating process or internal temperature of
the appliance and increase the power consumption. Thus, defrosting is
required if the frost is >5mm thick. Defrosting is a manual process.
Please follow these steps:
1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance.
2. Remove all food from the ice box and freezer compartments.
3. Remove the freezer drawer.
4. Open the door and wait for the ice to defrost.
5. When de-icing, a scraper or plastic utensil may be used. Never use
metal instruments or electrical appliances to de-ice the ice box.
6. To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of hot water
in the compartment and close the door.
7. When defrosting is complete, clean the appliance.
8. Replace the shelf and food before restoring power.
Do not use an electric heater or hair dryer to increase
the defrost process. It may destroy the cooling system.
1. Adjust the temperature control to a setting that is acceptable for the
storage of the food. This will reduce the power consumption.
2. Only open the door when required. Frequently opening the door will
increase power consumption.
3. Maintain good air circulation within the freezer.

Check whether the appliance is connected to power or
whether the plug is in well contact.
Check whether the voltage is too low.
Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits
have tripped.
Long operation of the freezer is normal in summer when
the ambient temperature is high.
It is not recommended having too much food in the
freezer at the same time.
Food shall get cool before being put into the freezer.
The doors are opened too frequently.
Long-time
operation of the
compressor
The door is stuck by food packages.
The freezer is tilted.
Door cannot be
properly closed
Loud noise Check whether the floor is level and whether the freezer
is placed stably.
Hot housing Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing,
which is normal. It is recommended to provide sound
ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Surface
condensation
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.
Abnormal noise
The compressor may have buzz noises during operation.
This is normal.
The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could
cause gurgling, similar to water boiling, which is normal.
Heavy frost Make sure the door is fully closed.
Too cold Check the position of the temperature dial located at the
rear.
The freezer
does not work
efficiently as
expected
It may be caused by heavy frost build up in the freezer
caused by a warm temperature setting, frequent
opening of the door, or low voltage.
