Movement and Installation
When moving the freezer, the angel between the cabinet and the ground should not be less than
45°in order to protect the compressor and refrigeration system.
Position the freezer in a dry and well-ventilated area. Away from heat sources such as direct
sunlight, Heaters, stoves and corrosive gases.
The normal operation of the freezer depends on the heat radiation of the condenser. For the
initial use, the packing foam must be taken off and at least 150mm space must be left around the
freezer.
The appliance must be earthed and connected to a suitable 230V or 12V/24V socket. The
manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect
electrical installation.
Battery cut-out 12V/24V DC operation
The control system allows for the voltage cut-out to be set to three (3) different settings
depending on the environment & situation that the appliance is being operated in. Low voltage
supply to the appliance can result in poor cooling performance and damage to the battery.
when using 12V DC, the digital readout will show the factory setting 10.0V DC. To ensure that
suitable battery voltage can be maintained the controller has been programmed for three (3) cut-
out levels-11.8, 10.7 & 10.0V DC.
When using 24V DC, the digital readout will show the factory setting 22.2V DC. To ensure that
suitable battery voltage can be maintained the controller has been programmed for three (3) cut-
out levels-25.0, 23.5& 22.2V DC.
To set the battery cut-out to the required level follow these steps: .Push the “SET”button twice, the digital readout “G”will show the current setting.
.Push the “B”or “C”to adjust the setting. The display will flash four (4) times with the
selected setting. To check press button “SET” once and the selected setting will flash and then
return to the current voltage input.
When the appliance is disconnected from the power source the battery cut-out remains at its last
setting.
Temperature adjustment
When the freezer is connected to the power outlet, press the“set”button, the LED will display the
factory pre-set freezing temperature of -18℃.
Temperature adjustment: .Press the“set”button. .While the LED is flashing, press “+”or “–”button to reach the required temperature.
Speed model setting
Press “speed” button to change from HighAutoLow speed.
Power model setting
Press button “ ” to start and stop the unit. When the until is power off, the LED will display
OFF.
Encoded remote(Allowing you to change the frequency on your remote)
This will allow you to set the remote to match the code on your fridge. Meaning you cannot
change the temperature settings on another unit at the same time.
To change the code on your unit, hold the – button in for 10 seconds the code will flash that the
unit has been set to. Then press the up or down arrow to change the code.
To match the code on the remote, hold the down arrow for 10 seconds until the code flashes on
the remote. Press the up or down arrow to match the code that you have .

from direct sunlight.
LED light & alarm
Your freezer is fitted with an LED light to illuminate the cabinet in the dark. The LED will turn
on when the door is opened and turn off when the door is closed.
An alarm is fitted that will alert you if the door has not been closed properly or has been left
open for a period of more than two (2) minutes.
Foods storing
Fresh foods should not be stored together with frozen foods.
When the temperature is set below 0℃, do not keep glass-bottled drinks such as beer and
lemonade as the bottles might crack.
Defrosting and De-odorizing
When the ice layer on the inner cabinet sides is over 5mm, defrosting operation should be
performed to improve the refrigerating efficiency.
Switch off power, remove all items, pull out the drain plug and drain all water.After defrosting
and all the water has drained out, clean with a soft cloth and switch the appliance on.
Note: never remove ice with sharp objects.
Place charcoal in the appliance to remove any bad odors.
Maintenance and regular cleaning
Always disconnect the power cable before cleaning.
Clean the inside of the cabinet whenever necessary using a warm solution of water and
bicarbonate of soda (1 tablespoon to every 2 liters of water) dry with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel should be cleaned with dedicated stainless-steel cleaners. Do not use silver or
brass cleaners pot scourers or aggressive detergents to clean the inner liner.
Dirt from the condenser should be cleaned by a qualified technician when necessary.
Not a malfunction
It is normal to hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant when each cooling cycle
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 70~90°C when running.
In rainy season, moisture will condense on the surface of the cabinet. Wipe off with a soft cloth.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal condition.
The fan in the power supply runs when the temperature of the power supply exceeds

A separate earthed 15A socket outlet should be used on 230V AC and at least a 120W DC socket on
12V or 24V DC.
Voltage range: 100volts -240volts If AC voltage has been unstable, wait three minutes before restarting.
when both AC and DC are connected, the freezer will run on AC power.
Allow approximately 35 minutes for start up on 12Vwhen AC power is disconnected. In the event of any malfunction of your freezer, please contact the nearest service agent. The appliance may be connected to more than one source of energy (AC or DC).
