LED light & alarm
Your freezer is fitted with an LED light to illuminate the cabinet in the dark. The LED will turn
on when the door is opened and turn off when the door is closed.
An alarm is fitted that will alert you if the door has not been closed properly or has been left
open for a period of more than two (2) minutes.
Foods storing
Fresh foods should not be stored together with frozen foods.
When the temperature is set below 0℃, do not keep glass-bottled drinks such as beer and
lemonade as the bottles might crack.
Defrosting and De-odorizing
When the ice layer on the inner cabinet sides is over 5mm, defrosting operation should be
performed to improve the refrigerating efficiency.
Switch off power, remove all items, pull out the drain plug and drain all water.After defrosting
and all the water has drained out, clean with a soft cloth and switch the appliance on.
Note: never remove ice with sharp objects.
Place charcoal in the appliance to remove any bad odors.
Maintenance and regular cleaning
Always disconnect the power cable before cleaning.
Clean the inside of the cabinet whenever necessary using a warm solution of water and
bicarbonate of soda (1 tablespoon to every 2 liters of water) dry with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel should be cleaned with dedicated stainless-steel cleaners. Do not use silver or
brass cleaners pot scourers or aggressive detergents to clean the inner liner.
Dirt from the condenser should be cleaned by a qualified technician when necessary.
Not a malfunction
It is normal to hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant when each cooling cycle
ends.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 70~90°C when running.
In rainy season, moisture will condense on the surface of the cabinet. Wipe off with a soft cloth.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal condition.
The fan in the power supply runs when the temperature of the power supply exceeds
approximately 35℃.
