SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

2) This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in
the installation section.

3) Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp

the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector
end.

5) Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in

defrosting your freezer.

7) If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove

the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility
of danger to children.

8) After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the

freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9) Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F”.

“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice
cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”

“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating
quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality

as you can.”

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base
and all adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside
and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the freezer.

••Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only.

It should not be recessed or built in.
Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle.

This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.

• If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24

hours prior to plugging it in. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.

• To ensure that your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:

Sides……………4” (102mm)

Top....................4” (102mm)

Back..................4” (102mm)

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (220 volts, 50 hertzs)

with proper grounding to power the freezer.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding

plug in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and
may result in shock hazard.

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety

hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.

• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even

surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected.

General Features

Fast Freeze

(not in all models)

Note:

Adjustable temperature dial: Note:

Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet
having 220 volts.
Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob, “1” being the
warmest and “6” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on
“3”. Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours
set the freezer to your desired setting.
In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage,
allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
Temperature should be -18℃ or below and can switch into 0~ 10℃ in
the upper compartment and -15℃ or below in the drawer section.

Your freezer will automatically
maintain the temperature level you
select. The temperature control dial has
6 settings plus 0. “I” is the warmest,
“6” is the coldest. Turning the dial to
"0"stops cooling the freezer. Set the
dial to “3” and allow 24 hours to pass
before adjusting the temperature to
your needs.

If the freezer has been
placed in a h orizontal or
tilted position for any period
of time, wait 2 4 ho urs before
plugging the u nit in.)

Your freezer is equipped with a Fast Freeze function,which
will allow you to deep freeze food when you have added a lot of
food at one time. Set the thermostat for freezer at super freeze gear
and the compressor will run continuously. Shift away from the super
frezze gear once food has reached desired temperature.

Do not forget to shift away from the super freeze gear when not
required. Doing so will avoid unnecessary energy use.
