III. Preparations for use
Installation location:
1. Ventilation condition
When installing your freezer ensure it is in a well ventilated location. Do not install the
freezer near any heat source such as a cooker. Avoid locating the freezer in direct
sunlight, this will ensure you reduce the energy consumption of the appliance. Do not
locate the freezer in a damp place, this will prevent the freezer from rusting and leaking
electricity. The result of the total space of the room in which the freezer is installed being
divided by the freezer charge amount of the freezer shall not be less than 8 g/ M3. Note:
The amount of refrigerant charged for the freezer can be found on the nameplate.
2. Heat dissipation space
When your freezer is installed and running, it will give off heat to it’s surroundings.
Therefore, a minimum of 300mm free space should be at the top of the unit, minimum of
100mm on both sides, and a minimum of 50mm at the back of the refrigerator.
Dimensions in mm:

3. Level ground
Place the freezer on a solid and flat ground (floor) to keep it stable, or else it will give
rise to vibration and noise.
Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an
embedded structure.
Preparations for use
1. Standing time
After the larder is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on immediately.
Make sure you allow a minimum of 4 hours before turning on the power of the freezer.
2. Cleaning
Before use ensure you cleans the internal compartments and all shelves and accessories
with a soft cloth.
3. Power-on
Insert the plug into the power socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open the
freezer door, if the temperature inside the larder compartment drops obviously, it
indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
4. Storage of food
After the freezer runs for a period of time, the internal temperature of the freezer will be
automatically controlled according to the user’s temperature setting. Before storing foods
in your Freezer, turn the Freezer on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working
properly and to allow the Freezer to reach the correct temperature
(Try to open the freezer door as less as possible before the internal temperature cools
down).
If the freezer is installed in a moisture filled room, make sure to check whether the ground
wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are produced due to the
freezer making contact with the wall, or if the wall gets blackened by air convection around
the compressor, move the larder away from the wall. Setting up the larder may cause
jamming noise or image chaos to mobile phones, fixed-line telephone, radio receiver,
television sets surrounding it, so try to keep the refrigerator as far away as possible from
these items.

V. Instructions for food storage
Precautions for use
• The appliance might not operate consistently (if there is a possibility of defrosting or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when running for an
extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed
• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as, the location of the
appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door being opened, etc., and if
appropriate, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to
allow for these factors should be made.
• Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-
temperature compartment, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed
too cold.
Food storage Tips and Hints
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.
Cautions for food storage
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.

14
If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual
Categorised storage of foods
Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the
shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration
can be avoided
Energy-saving tips: Allow hot food to cool down to the room temperature before putting it in
the freezer. Put the frozen food in afresh food compartment in a refrigerator to thaw, using
the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.

15
Moving your Larder/Fridge/Freezer
• Location
Do not place your freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid it
from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
• Leveling
Make sure to level your freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level, the larder door
gasket and sealing performance will be affected, or it may lead to the operating failure of
your freezer.
After locating the freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, to allow the
refrigerant to settle.
• Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grills of your appliance.
NOTE:
•If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then unplug the
plug from the wall outlet.
•Take out all food.
•Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
ajar.
•Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat source,
and do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to children’s play.

VI. Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, turn off power rst then unplug the appliance from the wall socket.
Do not plug in or pull plug out with wet hands, because there is a risk of electric shock
and injury.
Do not spill water directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and
accidents.
Do not stretch your hands into the bottom of the freezer you might be scratched by
sharp metal corners.
Internal Cleaning and External Cleaning
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are
closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Freezer and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
After defrosting you should clean the Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash
the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in
the Freezer.
Do not use bristle brushes, steel wire brushes, detergent, soap powder, alkaline
detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to
clean the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc, to avoid damage.
•Try to open the freezer door as less as possible, to ensure food is kept at the desired
temperature to avoid food spoilage or thawing.
•If you get the power outage notice in advance:
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully
frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the
original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
2) Once the freezer is powered on and in use, it is best to use the freezer continuously
under normal circumstances to ensure not to affect the service life of the appliance.
Servicing
This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts
should be used.

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.
Contact your after sales support team for assistance.

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, or carefully use a plastic scraper. 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.
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry.
Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in
the freezer.

VII. Trouble Shooting
With regard to the following small faults, not every failure needs to be fixed by the technical
service personnel,you can try to solve the problem by referring to the below.
Power cut:
If the internal temperature of the Freezer compartment is -18℃ or less when the power
returns, your food is safe. The food in your Freezer will remain frozen for approx 16 hours
with the door closed. Do not open the Freezer door more than necessary.
The Freezer is exceptionally cold:
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Freezer is exceptionally warm:
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum
setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the
local store where your purchase was made.
The Freezer is not working:
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. The Freezer should
be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient temperature of between 16℃and
38℃. Leave the Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer:
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If
the problem continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
Noises inside the Freezer:
If you have not owned a Freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual
noises. Most noises are perfectly normal; however you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING:
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not affect the performance of your Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING:
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
