(The picture above for reference purposes only. The actual configuration will depend on the
physical product, or on the notice provided by the distributor.)
• The low temperature of freezer can keep food fresh for a long time, and the appliance is
mainly used to store frozen foods and for making ice.
• The freezer is suitable for storing meat, fish, shellfish, pastries class and other foods
which are not intended for immediate consumption.
• You should not store bottled or sealed liquids for a long period. If you want to store bottled
or sealed liquids, the stored items should not be placed close to the wall of the freezer.
There is a certain deviation between the temperature inside the box and the actual setting
temperature, which does not affect normal use.
• Please note that food should be consumed within its shelf life.
• The fast-freezing function is designed to maintain the nutritional values of the food. It can
quickly freeze the food in a short time. If a large amount of food needs to be frozen at one
time, it is recommended that users turn on the fast-freezing function 5 hours in advance.
With this function activated, the freezer freezes at a faster speed, so it can quickly freeze
food and effectively preserve the food's nutritional values.

Positioning
• Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials, including the bottom glides and
the foam pads and tapes inside the freezer, remove the protective film on the door and the
freezer unit.
• The freezer should be installed in a well-ventilated, indoor place; the ground must be flat
and solid.
• Keep away from heat sources and avoid direct sunlight. To avoid rust and to ensure optimal
insulation, do not position the freezer in damp or humid environments.
• There should be at least 70 cm of clear space above the freezer and at least 20 cm of clear
space around all sides to facilitate heat dissipation.

Start-up
• Open the cover plate from the side, using the tool provided.
• Open the cover plate, take out the power cord, and then replace the cover plate.
• After transportation, please let the freezer stand for at least 2 hours before turning on
the power supply, otherwise its cooling capacity will be decreased or the freezer may be
damaged.
• The freezer should be run for 2 to 3 hours before loading it with fresh or frozen foods; the
freezer should run for more than 4 hours in summer, as the ambient temperature is higher
in this season.
• Unplug the freezer in the event of a power failure or during cleaning operations. Do not
connect the freezer to the power supply for at least five minutes, in order to prevent
damages to the compressor due to successive starts.

Freezer maintenance
Cleaning
detergent
•Dust that collects behind the freezer and underneath it
should be regularly cleaned to improve the appliance's
cooling and energy-saving actions.
•Check the door seal regularly to make sure that there is
no trapped debris. Clean the door seal with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
•The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to
avoid any odours. Please turn off the power and remove
all food, baskets, containers, etc. before any cleaning
operations.
•Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the freezer,
using a mixture of two tablespoons of baking soda and
approx. 1 litre of warm water. Then, rinse with water and
wipe down. After cleaning, open the freezer door and let it
air-dry before turning the power back on.

12 EN
Useful information
C
•For areas that are difficult to clean inside the freezer (e.g.
gaps or corners), it is recommended to regularly wipe them
over with a soft cloth, soft brush, etc. When necessary, use
additional tools (such as pipe-cleaners) to ensure that no
contaminants or bacteria accumulate in these areas.
•Do not use soaps, detergents or spray cleaners, etc. to
clean the inside of your freezer, as these products may
create odours or contamination.
•Clean the baskets with a soft cloth dampened with soapy
water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or leave to
air-dry.
•Wipe the outer surface of the freezer with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe
dry.
•Do not use hard-bristled brushes, wire brushes, abrasives
(such as toothpaste), organic solvents (e.g. alcohol,
acetone, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline products,
which may damage the freezer's surface and its interior.
Boiling water and organic solvents, such as benzene, may
deform or damage plastic parts.
•Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during the
cleaning process to avoid short-circuits or impacts on the
electrical insulation after immersion.

CAUTION:
Make sure to unplug the freezer for defrosting and
cleaning operations.
Defrosting
•The freezer must be manually defrosted.
Unplug the freezer and open the freezer door, and remove
any food and shelving baskets before defrosting; Open
the outflow hole and drainage hole (and place a container
underneath the outflow hole to catch any drainage); interior
frost will naturally melt away, so you can wipe the defrosted
water with a soft, dry cloth. Once the frost has softened, an
ice scraper can be used to the speed up the de-icing process.
•Please remove any food and store in a cool place while
defrosting the freezer, and remove any accessories
beforehand.
CAUTION:
Other mechanical devices or other means must not be
used to accelerate the freezer function, except those
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the
cooling circuit.
