INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

Check to ensure that following parts are available:

1 x Storage Basket

1 x Instruction Manual

2 x Keys

Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This

will reduce the possibility of malfunction for cooling system.

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Electrical Connection

This freezer should be properly grounded for safety purpose. The power cord of this freezer is

equipped with approved 3-pin plug.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the three pin plug from the power cord supplied.

This freezer requires a standard 220-240 Volt A.C. ~/50Hz electrical outlet.

This freezer is not designed to be used with an inverter.

Never splash or pour water to the freezer as it may cause risk of short circuit or electric shock.

The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental

injury.

Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out

from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can

negatively affect the performance of the unit.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is

damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

OPERATION OF THE FREEZER

To freeze is the basic work condition for the freezer.

Temperature Control

The temperature control is located on the lower right hand corner.

For the first time the freezer is turned on, turn the temperature control to “on “and run for at least 2

hours before putting frozen foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before

storing any food.

The range of the temperature control is from "1" (the warmest) to "7" (the coldest). Adjust the

temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. Do not fast freeze (“7”) for more than 5

hours as it is not good for refrigerant system. The setting of “4” is recommended for normal usage.

When power is turned on, a green light indicator will light up.

NOTE :

If the unit is unplugged, power will be lost; please wait for 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the

unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not function.

Large amount of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the freezer.

Do not place the food at the air outlet to ensure there is sufficient airflow.

Adjust thermostat control by one increment each time you need to change the temperature

setting. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

The Freezer Compartment

This compartment is designed for long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three

months.

The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods

manufacturer’s instructions.

Place the food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the

packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build-up. Be sure to defrost the

freezer when the ice has formed 5 to 10 mm thickness.

A storage basket is provided for organizing of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the

freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.

Defrost

For efficient operation and minimize energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the

freezer is excessive, e.g. 5 to10mm thickness.

Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.

Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place them in a cooler container to protect the food.

Unplug the freezer. The Power supply light will be off (green light off).

During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.

Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the freezer cabinet by pulling straight out.

Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The water will be drained out.

Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.

Clean the interior of the freezer after defrost is completed.

Re-insert the drain plug.

Reset the thermostat to desired setting.

Allow the freezer to cool for one hour before putting the food back to the freezer,

NOTE:

Do not use boiling water as it may damage the plastic parts. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to

remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open and pouring warm water (not boiling) on the

ice/frost will help speed up the process. If you must use a scraper- please use with caution as it is very

easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Upon installation of the new freezer, it is recommended that the freezer to be cleaned thoroughly

before using.

Wash the cabinet with a damp warm cloth plus baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2

tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

The external casing should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

Dry the interior compartment and exterior casing with a soft cloth.

The condenser coil should be vacuumed if it is dusty or dirty.

It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free

and running efficiently.

Vacation Time

Short vacation: Leave the freezer operating for vacation less than three weeks.

Long vacation: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the

power supply. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the

door open slightly.

Energy Saving Tips

The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances

and away from direct sun light.

Let hot food cool to room temperature first before putting in the freezer.

Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer and the freezing time will be lengthened.

Food may lose its quality or spoilt if it takes long time to be frozen.

Be sure to wrap the food properly and dry the containers before placing them in the freezer. This will

cut down the frost to build-up inside the freezer.

Organize and label food to reduce door opening frequency. Remove as many items as needed at

one time and close the door as soon as possible.

The internal compartment should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.

Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

The followings are not considered as problems for your freezer:

The refrigerating system runs for a long time when freezer is used for the first time or more food is

added to the freezer

Sound of running water – this is the sound when the refrigerant system is running

Condensation is normal when the ambient humidity is high. Drops of water may appear on the

exterior casing of the cabinet.

door less often.

The door is not sealed properly.

Moisture/ Condensation on the

exterior side of the freezer

Humidity is high. This is normal.
