Operation

Before plugging in your freezer for the first time remove all packaging materials and clean the

freezer with lukewarm water and baking soda. Wipe the unit dry with a soft cloth.

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.

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.

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.

Remove the power plug from the wall socket, open the door, and remove all of the freezer's

contents to a cool place.

Defrost the unit using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost

melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water. When you are finished defrosting the unit,

plug the freezer back into the power supply.

Before you start to clean your freezer remove the power plug from the electrical outlet. Clean

the unit with a cloth soaked in a solution of lukewarm water and baking soda. Dry the freezer

with a soft cloth.
