IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS This freezer contains an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant, R600a. There is the danger of explosion if for any reason the refrigerant is allowed to escape from the system. The refrigeration system must never be accessed by unauthorized personal. When transporting and installing the unit, ensure that no part of the tubing system is damaged.
LOCATION OF PARTS WARNING: Never touch the interior of the Freezer Chamber or frozen foods in the compartment with wet hands as this could result in frost bite. KEEP THE KEY OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND NOT IN THE VICINITY OF THE FREEZER. TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS The appliance should be transported only in a vertical upright position. The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. If possible, avoid placing the appliance near ovens, 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 refrigeration, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Ovens From Radiators From Fridges 4" (100 mm) 12" (300 mm) 4" (100 mm) 2. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation.
START-UP Final Check Before 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 "CLEANING AND CARE". 3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity; a red light will go on. Avoid accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. A green light will glow and the compressor will start running (see “Freezer Operation” on page 6). 4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up.
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 specific temperatures. The smaller the number, the higher the temperature. For example, position “5” represents the lowest temperature setting. Meanings of markings: OFF：Forced Shutdown Point 1 – 5：Frozen Interval (from -12°C to -30°C, or 10.
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. 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 centre as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food. DEFROSTING Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
CLEANING AND CARE 1. Switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the power plug before cleaning. 2. Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning. 3. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry. 4. 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. 5.
