A container or something is behind the chest freezer?
The compressor will generate a rather loud sound for a while after operation is started. The noise will cease together with refrigeration.
Condensation may condense on the exterior and door during hot and humid days or depending on the place of installation. This occurs when the humidity
is high and water particles in the air contact cold surfaces. This is normal. wipe away condensation with a dry cloth.
Especially in warmer conditions or startup, the circumference of chest freezer feels hot.
This is because the chest freezer incorporates a pipe for radiating and preventing
condensation.
The heat does not affect the contents in the freezer.
This appliance will sometimes stop running when the thermostat turns off.

The benefits to the consumer given by this Warranty are in addition to other rights and
remedies of the consumer under law in relation to the goods to which this Warranty relates (including the Australian Consumer Law (for Australian customers) or the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (for New Zealand customers)).
What is covered by this Warranty?
1. This Warranty automatically applies to any new Hisense refrigerator, freezer, clothes washer or clothes dryer that is purchased in Australia or New Zealand (Product) from a company or person that is authorised by Hisense to sell the Product (Authorised Retailer).
2. Subject to the terms of this Warranty, Products are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship (defects) for the applicable time period specified below (Warranty Period).
3. During the Warranty Period, if requested by the original purchaser of the Product (you) in accordance with this Warranty, Hisense will repair or replace, at its option and cost, the Product or any part of the Product that Hisense determines to be defective.
4. Replacement products and parts: Hisense can, at its option, choose to repair or replace a defective Product or any part of that Product with a product/part of a like kind and quality. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. Replacement products and parts may cost less than the original Product purchased. No charges or refunds will be made based on the replacement Product or part cost difference.
5. Service Coverage Area: If the Product is located within 25km of an Authorised Retailer (Service Coverage Area), then Hisense may (at its option): a. arrange for a qualified repair technician (Authorised Repairer) to attend that location; b. arrange for the Product to be delivered from that location to an Authorised Repairer or Authorised Retailer, and for the Product (or a replacement product) to be
returned to you at that location; or
c. request that you deliver the Product to an Authorised Repairer or Authorised Retailer and collect the Product (or a replacement product) from an Authorised
Repairer or Authorised Retailer, and Hisense will be responsible for all reasonable costs relating to the transportation and travel expenses to and from that location under clauses 5.a or 5.b (except in the circumstances relating to inverter motors contemplated below). If the Product is located outside the Service Coverage Area, you must reimburse Hisense and pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including costs of transportation and travel expenses) incurred by Hisense in relation to any Authorised Repairer attending the location of the Product, arranging for the Product to be transported to an Authorised Repairer or Authorised Retailer and/or arranging for the Product (or a replacement product) to be returned to you. When Hisense is required under this Warranty to repair or replace an inverter motor in a Product that is a washing machine located outside the Service Coverage Area, the previous sentence will apply. However, when Hisense is required under this Warranty to repair or replace an inverter motor in a Product that is a washing machine located within the Service Coverage Area: d. you will be responsible for (and must reimburse Hisense on demand) all labour costs (including transportation and travel expenses) associated with the Authorised
Repairer removing, repairing and/or replacing the inverter motor; and e. Hisense will be responsible for all other costs associated with the repair and/or replacement of that inverter motor. You will not be entitled to claim any costs or expenses from Hisense in relation to making a claim under this Warranty, including any costs that you incur in delivering the Product to (or collecting the Product from) an Authorised Repairer or Authorised Retailer under clause 5.c (or otherwise).
6. Service Coverage Hours: Hisense makes no representation or warranty in relation to how long a claim under this Warranty will take to be finalised.

16. Warranty Claims Procedure: The Warranty Claims Procedure is overleaf. To make a claim under this Warranty, you must provide proof of original purchase (invoice) and, in respect of a Plumbed Product, proof of installation or water connection by a licensed plumber (as required) (e.g. receipt or certificate of compliance (as applicable) issued by the licensed plumber) and ensure that the original serial number is attached to the Product. You may be charged a call-out fee of AUD125 including GST (for Australian customers) or NZD125 including GST (for New Zealand customers) if you do not provide proof of original purchase, proof of installation by a licensed plumber (if applicable) or the original serial number is not attached.
17. Hisense liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hisense accepts no liability for any loss or damage: (a) to any items that are lost, damaged, or stolen as a result of freight, transport or storage; (b) to third party hardware or software; or (c) arising from loss of use, loss of profits or revenue, or for any resulting indirect or consequential loss or damage (irrespective of whether the loss or damage is caused by or relates to breach of contract, statue, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, and irrespective of whether Hisense or any other person was previously notified of the possibility of the loss or damage). To the extent permitted by law, any warranty, guarantee, condition, representation, undertaking or other right that would be guaranteed or implied in this Warranty or is otherwise imposed by statute, common law, equity, trade, custom or usage, and which is not expressly included in this Warranty, is excluded.
What happens if no defect is found?
18. No Fault Found Fee: If Hisense determines, acting reasonably, that the Product does not contain a defect, or the repair or fault is not covered by the Warranty, then
you will be charged a “No Fault Found Fee” of at least AUD125 including GST (for Australian customers) or NZD125 including GST (for New Zealand customers). Additional charges may apply for third party device configuration.
