ventilated. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight
in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Fridge/Freezer in an out-building such as a garage or annex
ensure that the Fridge/Freezer is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Fridge/Freezer
cabinet. When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 300mm of free space should be
spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.
Leveling the Freezer
If the Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause you Freezer to work
incorrectly. Once the Freezer is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the Freezer.
The external parts of the Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish. Before plugging in YOUMUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the Freezer. Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on
to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your Freezer
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 fail to the correct temperature.
START
Testing
1.Clean the freezer with lukewarm water and detergent,and wipe dry.
Note: Electrical components should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
2.Turn the thermostat knob to the "2" position, and plug the freezer into the wall outlet.The compressor will begin to run.
3. Check, after 30 minutes of operation, to ensure that the freezer is cold.
Temperature Control
1. The temperature control (thermostat knob，turned by coin) is located near the top of the unit.
2.Turning the thermostat knob adjusts the temperature of the freezer.
3.The marks on the knob represent different settings. Setting "1" is the warmest and setting "4"
is the coolest.
4. The factory recommended setting is "2" for normal operating conditions.
IN USE
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm
in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
2. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerating appliance,
ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any
temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors
3. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature
compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold
4.The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could
shorten the storage life
6. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
7. the care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system)
Tips and Hints
1.Food should be wrapped in aluminum foil, or some other type of airtight packing.
2.Do not allow frozen food in freezer to touch foods just placed into freezer. It
can damage the food.
3.Frozen foods from the store should be placed in the freezer promptly, so they
do not thaw.
4.Never place fresh vegetables and fruits into the freezer as they can get freezer burn.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
Defrosting
1.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.
