If the power cable isdamaged,it mustbe replacedbythe manufacturer,itsservice agent orsimilarlyqualified personsin
order toavoidahazard.
Note:When operating in an environment other than the specified climate type (i.e., beyond the rated ambient
temperature range), the appliance may not be able to maintain the desirable compartment temperatures.
Locks
If your Refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent
children being entrapped. When disposing of an old Refrigerator, break off any old locks or latches as a safeguard.
Freon-free
The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming insulation material (cyclopentane) that is environmentally friendly are
used for the refrigerator, causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on the global warming.
R600a is flammable, and sealed in a refrigeration system, without leakage during normal use. But, in case of refrigerant
leakage due to the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to keep the appliance away from open flames and open the
windows for ventilation as quickly as possible.

•Avoid positioning the appliancenearcookers, radiatorsor indirect sunlight,asthiswill causethecompressor torun
for long periods. If installednext toasourceofheat or refrigerator, maintainthefollowing minimumsideclearances:
FromCookers4" (100 mm)
FromRadiators12"(300mm)
FromFridges4"(100mm)
Makesurethatsufficient roomis providedaround the appliancetoensurefreeaircirculation. Ideally, A spaceof noless
than 10cmmustbe left aroundthe freezer, and ensureyou allowgapsasshownin the belowdiagram.
•The appliance should be located on a level surface.
•It is advised not to use the refrigerator outdoors.
•Protect from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in a moist area to avoid the metal parts becoming rusty, do not
spray water to the freezer; otherwise it will weaken the insulation and causes current leakage.
•Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.
If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc in cold weather condensation may form on the outer surfaces.
This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with a dry cloth.
STARTING
Before using the freezer, please read below:
•Make sure that the interior is dry and keep air circulating at the back of cabinet.
•For the details concerning the method of cleaning, please see section "CLEANING AND CARE"
•After Inserting the plug into the socket, the LED lights and digital display will illuminate for a while and will return to
normal after 2 seconds; In setting mode, if no button is pressed within 5 seconds, all buttons will be locked automatically.
•Temperature can be set between - 24 ~ - 16 . The default temperature setting is -18 .
•You may hear some noise as the compressor starts running. The liquid and gas in refrigeration system may also
make noise, no matter the compressor is running or not. This is a normal phenomenon.
•Before storing the food which are already frozen, please open the freezer door and check if the freezer has reached
the correct temperature. Then put into the frozen food.
•Do not load the appliance immediately just after it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has
reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer.
•Due to individual factors of the refrigerator, the actual temperature in the box may have a certain error
from the set temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the normal use of the
product.
Important Notes:
•If thereisapower failure, donot openthedoor. Frozenfoodshould not beaffected if
the power failurelastsforlessthan 38hours.If the failureislonger, thenthefoodshouldbe
checkedandeaten immediatelyor cooked and thenrefrozen.
•If you findthat thedoor ofthe chest freezer isdifficult toopenjust after you have
closed it. Don’t worryaboutit. Thisis due tothe differential pressure, whichwill be
equalized and allowthe door tobe opened normallyafter afewminutes.

2.Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3.Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4.After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the water conduit in place and make
the arrow point upward.
Important Notes:
•Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
•Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
•It is normal that water beads or frosts appear on the freezer collar and door gaskets in the wet weather, which will
not affect the normal use. In such case, please clean it with a dry cloth in time!
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
CLEANING AND CARE
•We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
•Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
•Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
•Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the
interior and wipe it dry.

7
•Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper available from your local
store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
•If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid
ajar.
•Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
Important Notes:
Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it with a dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
