Maintenance And Cleaning - Scandomestic SFS 82 W User Manual

Unobstructed ventilation shall be maintained around the appliance or in an em-
bedded structure.
Preparations for use
Standing time
After the freezer is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on imme-
diately. Make sure to energize the freezer after more than 1 hour's standing, so
as to ensure its normal operation.
Cleaning
Confirm the accessory parts inside the freezer and wipe the inside with a soft
cloth.
Power-on
Insert the plug into the solid socket to start the compressor. After 1 hour, open
the freezer door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment drops obvi-
ously, it indicates the refrigeration system is working normally.
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. After
the freezer is fully cooled, put in foods, which usually need 2-3 hours to be fully
cooled. In summer, when the temperature is high, it takes more than 4 hours for
the foods to be fully cooled (Try to open the freezer door as less as possible before
the internal temperature cools down).
If the freezer is installed in the moisture place, make sure to check whether the
ground wire and leakage circuit breaker are normal. If vibration noises are pro-
duced due to the freezer contacting the wall or if the wall gets blackened by air
convection around the compressor, move the freezer away from the wall. Setting
up the freezer may cause jamming noise or image chaos to the mobile phone,
fixed-line telephone, radio receiver, television surrounding it, so try to keep the
freezer as far away as possible in such case.
Functions
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 compart-
ment) 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 com-
partments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets,
and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold
4.T he need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food ma-
nufacturers for any kind of food
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defros-
ting, 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 for special needs
Moving the freezer/freezer
Location
Do not place your freezer/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radia-
tor. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling
Make sure to level your freezer/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level,
the freezer/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it
may lead to the operating failure of your freezer/freezer.
After locating the freezer/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as
to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time
• 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 foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat
source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top
of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child's play.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug
with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill wa-
ter directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not
stretch your hands into the bottom of the freezer, since you might be scratched
by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the freezer are liable to produce bad odor, so the freezer
must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a
month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and
clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral deter-
gent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the freezer
often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline deter-
gent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to
cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to
avoid damage.
