Please read all instructions carefully before installation and keep them for future reference. Installation service is not provided.

5.1 Unpacking

Remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape.
Inspect the freezer for any damage during transit. If damage is found, do not plug in the appliance and contact customer support.

5.2 Placement

Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator).

5.3 Initial Power-On

After placing the freezer, allow it to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet.
The freezer will begin to cool. Allow it to run for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) empty before loading food to ensure it reaches the desired temperature.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Digital Temperature Control

The freezer features an electronic control panel at the bottom, allowing precise temperature adjustments.

6.2 Loading the Freezer

Distribute food evenly to allow for proper air circulation.
Utilize the removable basket for organizing smaller items or frequently accessed foods.
Avoid overloading the freezer, as this can hinder cooling performance.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your freezer.

7.1 Cleaning the Interior

Always unplug the freezer before cleaning.
The aluminum interior is rust-free and easy to clean. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
The removable basket can be washed separately.

7.2 Defrosting

While the freezer features a no-frost system to minimize ice build-up, periodic manual defrosting may still be required if a significant layer of ice forms.

Unplug the freezer and remove all food items. Store frozen food in another freezer or insulated container.
Open the drain dial located at the bottom of the freezer to allow water to escape. Place a shallow pan or towel underneath to collect the water.
Allow the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up defrosting, as this can damage the appliance.
Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging it back in and reloading food.
