the power supply, so the fluid from the compressor
back to normal after transportation.
6. When moving the product to its final position,
be careful not to damage the power cord by
placing the product on top of it or by having the
power cord crushed between the back of the
product and the wall.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
You can use the hanger on the back of the product
to move the power cord out of the way and reduce
the risk of damaging it
7. Before use, remove all the packing material. The
back side of the cabinet should be more than 20
cm away from the wall, both flank sides more than
20 cm.
8. The chest freezer should be put in well-ventilated,
dry place. Don't use it under direct sunshine. The
chest freezer should be kept away from water sink,
heat source and any volatile,corrosive material.

OPERATIONS

ENGLISH
STARTING
When your chest freezer is first installed, leave it for 2 or 3 hours for stabilization to normal operating
temperature before filling it with food.
Delay 5 minutes before restarting if operation has been interrupted.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Initially, set the chest freezer control at mid position. If you wish a colder
temperature,set the desired compartment control to a higher number.
The knob should be kept upright normally to adjust the temperature.
Power: when the light is on, the power is on. (Optional)
Run: when the light is on, the compressor is working normally.
"off" stop the compressor.
"Max" is the strongest cooling position and is suitable for fast freezing.
Do not keep the knob at this point for long.
FAST FREEZING ZONE (OPTIONAL)
It is recommended to store items within load limit in order to
maximize freezer efficiency.
1. Never store hot food in the chest freezer. Always wait until cooled off.
2. When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in acontainer with lid. When moisture in the food
evaporates, taste and nutrition of the food disappear as well.
3. Never place bottles in the freezer compartment.They may break while freezing.
4. Never refreeze food that has been thawed after being frozen. This would cause the taste and nutrition to
disappear.
5. Clean food before yous tore it, so that adjacent food will not be spoiled.
6. There must be space between the foods stored in the cabinet, between the foods and the inner surface of
the cabinet, so as to keep good ventilation of cold air and freeze evenly. Do not put in any bottled or canned
beverage with freezing point above the temperature in the cabinet when it is below zero.
7. For foods that should be moisture-free or lose water easily, wrap them up with hermetical food bags or fresh
films before putting in the cabinet for the sake of avoiding smell-mixing and reducing frosting.
8. Storage of volatile and combustible gases, liquids such as strong alkalies, strong acids, petrol, etc. is
forbidden.
9. Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
10. When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right
position, which keeps them fresh longer.

lower part of connect wires away from water to avoid electricity leakage.
6. Except common breakdowns,those who are not service technician should not take apart and repair the
chest freezer on their own so as to avoid worsening the trouble. Unauthorized repair of electrical part
such as compressor,temperature controller is forbidden.
7. Defrost for better freezing efficiency when the frost film in the cabinet is 4-5mm thick.
8. When defrosting, turn off the power, take out the frozen foods, open the door for warming and melting
Use soft cloth to absorb water and clean it up.
9. Do not use sharp metal tools such as steel brush to clean the frost film when defrosting so as to avoid
evaporator damage.
10. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas in
shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments; catering and similar non-retail
applications.
11. During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the chest freezer in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove
all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent
odor formation.
12. Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your chest freezer temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures
of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.
13. Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the chest freezer. To avoid damaging the leveling
screw(s), turn them all the way into the base.

ENGLISH
1. Chest freezer does not operate
- Has a house fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
- Has the power cord plug been removed or loosened from the electrical wall outlet?
2. Chest freezer or freezer compartment temperature too warm
- Temperature control not set on proper position.
- Appliance is placed close to wall or heat source.
- Warm weather-frequent door openings.
- Door left open for a long time.
- Large amount of foods are kept in the chest freezer.
3. Abnormal noise(s)
- Chest freezer is installed in a weak or uneven place, or leveling screw needs adjusting.
- Unnecessary objects placed in the back side of the chest freezer.
4. Chest freezer has odor
- Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered or wrapped.
- Interior needs cleaning.
5. Dew forms on the cabinet surface
- Not unusual during periods of high humidity.
- Door may have been left ajar.
6. There is strange odor in my refrigerator, even though it is brand-new.
- When the freezer compartment is new, there is a plastic odor and other odors, because most of the
internal components are made from plastic and other materials.
7. When I open my freezer compartment door, my food has an odor.
- There may be an odor if your food is not stored in airtight containers. Storing wet food in a plastic bag
may cause an odor from the plastic bag.
8. My freezer compartment door is hard to open.
- When the freezer door is opened, warm air rushes inside. When you close the door, all of the warm air
becomes cold and causes a vacuum. This will make the door harder to open. Wait about 30 seconds
after closing the door to avoid this issue.
SERVICE CALLS CAN OFTEN BE AVOIDED!
IF YOU FEEL YOUR CHEST FREEZER IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, CHECK THESE POSSIBLE
CAUSES FIRST :

9. My refrigerator is making a strange vibrating noise.
- The refrigerator can make noise if the floor is not flat. Adjust the leveling legs to properly level your
refrigerator.
10. My refrigerator makes a rattling noise.
- The compressor in the freezer rotates at a high speed, and also automatically starts and stops to adjust
the internal temperature. The vibration from the compressor causes the noise.
11. My refrigerator makes a buzzing noise.
- Buzzing noises may come from the compressor rotating in the freezer or from the fan.
12. My refrigerator makes a gurgling noise.
- The noise occurs while refrigerant (an agent that is used to provide cooling) flows through the cooling
system when the freezer starts and stops.
13. My refrigerator makes a clicking noise.
- The swelling and contracting of the parts make this sound because of temperature changes. The
electrical parts also make this noise when they turn on or off automatically.
14. My refrigerator makes a whooshing noise.
- When the freezer door is closed, the pressure inside the freezer lowers and makes that sound when
the outside air is sucked through tiny gaps.
15. My refrigerator makes a loud noise after I first start using it.
- When you first use your refrigerator or use it for the first time after moving, the compressor may make a
loud noise while adjusting to the proper temperature. The noise decreases after the freezer reaches the
correct temperature.
16. Dew forms outside of my freezer.
- Humid air in summer, especially during the rainy season, causes dewdrops on the freezer when the
warm air makes contact with the cooler surface. In this case, simply wipe it with a dry cloth.
17. Dew or frost forms inside of my freezer.
- When you open the freezer door, warmer air enters the freezer. As that warm air cools, it may form dew
or frost. It does not interfere with product performance, so feel free to leave it.
18. Heat is coming out from the front and sides of my refrigerator.
- It may feel hot, especially when it is first turned on, or in the summer months, but it is normal.
