Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the freezer for any damage incurred during transit. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
2. Placement
This is a freestanding appliance. Place the freezer on a firm, level floor. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for proper ventilation. A minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) clearance should be maintained on all sides, especially at the back and sides where the condenser is located.

3. Electrical Connection
The freezer operates stabilizer-free within a voltage range of 190V to 260V at 50 Hz. Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet adapters.

4. Initial Operation
After placement and connection, allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, let the freezer run empty for 2-3 hours to reach its operating temperature before loading food.
Operating Instructions
1. Temperature Control
The freezer is equipped with a temperature control dial located on the front panel. Rotate the dial to adjust the internal temperature. Settings typically range from 'Warm' (1) to 'Coldest' (7 or *). For general freezing, a setting between 4 and 5 is usually sufficient to maintain temperatures between -18°C and -9°C.

2. Indicator Lights
- POWER (Green Light): Illuminates when the freezer is connected to power.
- RUN (Red Light): Illuminates when the compressor is actively running to cool the freezer. It will cycle on and off as needed to maintain the set temperature.
3. Loading Food
Do not overload the freezer. Allow space for air circulation around items for efficient freezing. For best results, freeze small quantities of fresh food at a time. The included basket and partition can help organize contents.
4. Lock and Key
The freezer comes with a lock and key for securing its contents, which is particularly useful in commercial or shared environments.

5. High Cooling Retention
This freezer is designed to maintain high-cooling conditions (-18°C to -9°C) for an extended duration of 15 to 20 hours even without electricity, helping to preserve food during power outages.
Care and Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Always unplug the freezer before cleaning.
- Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to ensure efficient operation.
2. Defrosting
Frost buildup on the interior walls can reduce cooling efficiency. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches about 5-10 mm (0.2-0.4 inches) thick.
- Unplug the freezer and remove all food items. Store frozen food in another freezer or insulated container.
- Leave the lid open to allow frost to melt naturally. You can use the provided ice scraper to gently remove frost, but do not use sharp metal objects.
- Place towels at the bottom to absorb water, or use the drain plug if available.
- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging it back in and reloading food.
3. Power Outages
In case of a power outage, keep the freezer lid closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. The high cooling retention feature will help keep food frozen for 15 to 20 hours.
