Operation

Installation Checklist before Operation

1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the freezer?
2. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to electricity?
3. Has the machine been leveled?
4. Is the freezer in a site where the ambient temperature is between 50°F and 90°F all year round?
5. Is there a clearance of at least 5" on all sides of the unit?
6. Has the freezer been thoroughly cleaned prior to use?

Temperature Control

The temperature in the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control knob inside the freezer. Turn
the thermostat control knob up or down to regulate the temperature inside the freezer. The markings
on the control knob indicate the "MIN, MAX, and OFF" positions for the different temperature grades.
The temperature decreases from high to low, with the MIN position being the warmest and the MAX
position being the coldest.

Storing Frozen Food

When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the temperature control to the
MAX setting for at least two hours before introducing the food to be stored. All frozen food products
you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to prevent the frozen food from
defrosting. You should always follow any storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen
food.

Freezing Fresh Food

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing
alone does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze large amounts of food by packing it into
separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm food into the freezer. Prior
to storing frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets, or freezing containers and then put it
in the freezer. Never freeze more than the maximum permissible amount of food.
