3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

• Carefully remove all packaging materials.
• Inspect the freezer for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your supplier.
• Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

3.2 Placement

• Place the freezer on a firm, level surface to ensure stability and proper operation.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from walls and other objects on all sides to allow for proper air circulation and heat dissipation.
• Avoid placing the freezer in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as ovens, radiators, or heating vents, as this will reduce its cooling efficiency and increase energy consumption.
• The appliance is equipped with casters for easy movement. Ensure the casters are locked once the desired position is achieved.

3.3 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the freezer with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

3.4 Power Connection

• Allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before connecting it to power. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
• Connect the appliance to a properly grounded electrical outlet (230V / 50Hz). Do not use extension cords or adapters.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Startup and Temperature Setting

• After connecting to power, the freezer will begin to cool.
• The temperature is manually adjustable. Use the control panel to set the desired temperature within the range of -18°C to -23°C.
• Allow the freezer to reach the set temperature before loading products. This may take several hours.

4.2 Loading the Freezer

• Do not overload the freezer. Ensure there is sufficient space for air circulation around the products.
• Utilize the provided hanging baskets for organized storage and easy access to frequently used items. The freezer can accommodate up to 2 baskets.
• Ensure the glass sliding lid is closed properly after each use to maintain temperature and energy efficiency.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Defrosting

This freezer features manual defrost. Frost buildup on the interior walls reduces cooling efficiency. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches approximately 5-10 mm (0.2-0.4 inches) thickness.

• Disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
• Remove all frozen products and store them in another freezer or insulated container.
• Open the defrost water drain plug (if applicable) and place a tray or towel to collect the melting ice.
• Allow the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up the process, as this can damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Once defrosted, clean the interior thoroughly, dry it, and replace the drain plug.
• Reconnect the power and allow the freezer to cool down before reloading products.

5.2 Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

• Interior: Clean regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent odors and mold growth.
• Exterior: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Condenser Coil: Periodically clean the condenser coil (located at the back or bottom of the unit) with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. A dirty coil reduces efficiency.
