The manufacturer will not be held responsible if these instructions are disregarded.
2. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.
13
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause
the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain
the following minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 4" (100 mm)
From Radiators 12" (300 mm)
From Fridges 4" (100 mm)
2. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation.
Ideally, A space of no less than 10cm must be left around the freezer, and ensure you allow gaps as
shown in the below diagram.
3. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.
4. It is forbidden to use the refrigerator outdoors.
5. Protection from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in moist space to avoid the metal parts rusty.
And do not spray water to the freezer, otherwise it will weaken the insulation and causes current
leakage.
6. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.
7. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold weather condensation may form
on the outer surfaces. This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping
with a dry cloth.
STARTING TO USE
Before you starting to use the freezer, please check that:
1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
2. Clean the interior as recommended under "TAKE CARE" section.
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply, then the Red light is
on. Avoid accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will glow and the
compressor will start running.
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not
which is quite normal.

5. If you going to store already frozen food open the freezer lid and check that the freezer has
reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already frozen food. (See
“Storing Frozen Food”).
6. Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an
accurate thermometer (see “Freezer Operation”).
FREEZER OPERATION
Temperature Adjustment
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat. ”1、2、3
、4、5” do not represent a specific temperature. The smaller the No. the higher the temperature,
whereas. So, position “5” is being the lowest temperature.
Figures mean:
“OFF”：Forced Shutdown Point
1-5：Frozen Interval (from -12 ℃ to -30 ℃）
The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of
the appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of lid opening, extent of filling with food of the
freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an
ambient temperature of approx. 25℃, the thermostat should be adjusted to the mild position.
We recommended that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the Freezer is kept
to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the lid is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises.
Therefore never leave the lid open and ensure it is closed: immediately after Food is put in or removed.
Indicator Lights
The indicator light set is placed on the front side of the freezer for easy visibility.
Indicator lights mean the following:
• Green LED – indicate the freezer is plugged.
• Red LED – indicate high temperature inside cabinet.
15
Storing Frozen Food
Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food
manufacturer’s instructions for a freezer compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained the following should be remembered:
1．Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2．Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
DO
DON’T
Defrost food from the freezer thoroughly in a fridge
or in a microwave oven following defrosting and
cooking instructions.
Use pointed sharp edged objects such as knives,
forks to remove the ice.
Ensure that chest freezer lid is completely closed
after each use.
Put hot food in the freezer. Let it cool down first.
Defrost frozen meat completely before cooking.
Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing
carbonated liquids into the freezer as they may
burst.
Check contents of the freezer at regular intervals. Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Clean and defrost your freezer regularly. Freeze fizzy drinks.
Store small items in the basket provided.
Shut the lid with force. You will damage the
appliance.
Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions to
ensure rapid freezing.
Store poisonous or dangerous substances in the
freezer.
Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes
before serving.
Consume ice-cream and water ices direct from
freezer. It may cause “freezer burns” on lips.
Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it into
the freezer shortly.
Try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it
should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and
refrozen.
Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere
to “Best Before”, “Use By” dates.
Exceed the maximum freezing capacity (5 kg in
any 24 hours) when freezing fresh food.
Wrap all foods in aluminum foil or freezer quality
plastic bags and make sure any air is excluded.
Store commercially frozen food in accordance with
the instructions given on the packets that you buy.
Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it
is thoroughly clean before you freeze it.
For more about storing, download the App and visit “Tips & Hints”.
• Whether possible, it’s suggested to set the temperature at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is
achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment
(one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
16
Freezing Fresh Food
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen
food, if possible.
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 5 kg (10lb).
Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of
the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the center as quickly as possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food
TAKE CARE
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract the
water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at “MAX” position to make sure the food is
at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of
newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid
open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
When defrosting has finished flow out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer as the
below diagram and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three
hours.
1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer, when defrosting, extract the rubber cover,
defrosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (NOTES: Please keep the rubber cover well
during the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done).
2. Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the water
conduit in place and make the arrow point upward.
Cleaning and Care
We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to
clean the interior and wipe it dry.
Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper available from your
local store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and
leave the lid ajar.
Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
