3. Clean the interior and exterior of the freezer with a damp cloth before use.

3.2 Placement

• Place the freezer on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator).

3.3 Leveling

The freezer is equipped with 6 casters for mobility. Ensure the freezer is stable and level before operation to prevent vibrations and ensure proper door sealing. If necessary, adjust the leveling feet (if present, or ensure casters are locked if applicable) to achieve stability.

3.4 Initial Power-On

1. After placement, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging in the freezer. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
2. Plug the freezer into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet.
3. The power indicator light will illuminate. Allow the freezer to run empty for 2-3 hours to reach its operating temperature before loading food.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Temperature Control

The freezer features a 7-level adjustable thermostat knob located on the front panel. Rotate the knob to select your desired temperature setting.

• The temperature range for freezing is approximately -28°C to -12°C (-18.4°F to 10.4°F).
• The temperature range for refrigeration (if applicable, check model specifics) is approximately 0°C to 10°C (32°F to 50°F). Refer to the product specifications for exact ranges.
• For initial fast freezing, set the knob to MAX for several hours, then adjust to your desired long-term storage temperature.

4.2 Indicator Lights

• Power Indicator Light: Illuminates when the freezer is connected to power.

• Lift baskets out when accessing items below.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Defrosting

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer on the interior walls reaches a thickness of about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches). Excessive frost reduces cooling efficiency.

1. Unplug the freezer from the power outlet.
2. Remove all food items and store them in another freezer or cooler.
3. Open the lid and place towels on the floor around the freezer to catch melting ice.
4. Locate the drain plug (if present) at the bottom of the freezer and remove it to allow water to drain.
5. Use the provided plastic scraper (or a similar non-sharp tool) to gently remove ice. Do not use metal tools or sharp objects, as this can damage the cooling system.
6. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
7. Replace the drain plug, plug in the freezer, and allow it to cool down before returning food.
