- Notice: Servicing should be performed by qualified personnel as recommended by the manufacturer.
Workplace Safety and Refrigerant Handling
- Personnel working on a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM must not use ignition sources that could lead to fire or explosion. Keep ignition sources (including smoking) away from installation, repair, removal, and disposal sites. Survey the area for flammable hazards and display "No Smoking" signs.
- Check for the presence of refrigerant using an appropriate detector before and during work to identify potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure leak detection equipment is suitable for all refrigerants (non-sparking, sealed, or intrinsically safe).
- Ensure the area is open or adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting hot work. Maintain ventilation during work to disperse refrigerant. Electrical components must be suitable and correctly specified. Follow manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines. Consult the manufacturer's technical department if in doubt.
- Detection of flammable refrigerants: Never use potential ignition sources (e.g., halide torch or naked flame detectors) to search for or detect refrigerant leaks.
Caution for Safety (Voltage and Electrical)
North America: Operating voltage range is 98-132V. Use a Voltage Stabilizer of at least 500W to protect the cooler if voltage drops below 98V or exceeds 132V.
Europe: Operating voltage range is 187-242V.
Use an individual single-phase socket reliably connected to a grounding wire. Caution: The grounding wire must not be connected to a water pipe or gas pipe.
Storage and Handling Precautions
- Do not store strong bases, strong acids, organic solvents, or corrosive goods that can pollute food in the showcase, as this can cause corrosion or accidents.
- Do not lift the showcase or its electrical parts' shell, as this can cause insulation decline and corrosion.
- When the showcase is out of use for an extended period, disconnect the power, clean it, and examine the circuit before reuse.
- This appliance is a Freestanding Installation Type and is not suitable for outdoor use.
French Safety Precautions (Prudence pour la sécurité)
North America: Operating voltage range: 98-132V. To avoid damaging the compressor's electrical performance, use a regulator of at least 500W to protect the cooler when the voltage is below 98V or above 132V.
European Region: Operating voltage range: 187-242V.
The individual single-phase socket must be used and reliably connected to a grounding wire. ATTENTION: The grounding wire must not be connected to a water pipe or a gas pipe.
Strong bases, strong acids, organic solvents, and corrosive products, or those easily polluting food, are prohibited for storage in the showcase; otherwise, it may cause corrosiveness or accidents.
Do not lift the showcase or the shell of electrical parts, as this will cause insulation decline and corrosion.
When the showcase is to be out of use for a long period, disconnect the power first, then clean it. Please examine the circuit to ensure it is OK before reuse.
Electrical appliances are freestanding type and not suitable for outdoor use.
Operation
- Unpack all packages before using the showcase. Do not tilt it more than 60° while moving it.
- The showcase should be installed in an environment with good ventilation, cool, and dry conditions, and without corrosive gas. It should not be installed close to heat sources or directly under sunlight. Ensure a space of more than 10cm between the front and back walls and the showcase. When installing, pad the universal wheels well to make the showcase level and stable, preventing vibration and excessive noise.
- During initial operation, the refrigerator should run empty for about one hour before storing food.
- The evaporator fans run continuously during refrigeration cycles to maintain the factory-set internal temperature range.
- Temperature Control: The thermostat adjusts the temperature inside the showcase. Turning the knob clockwise: the higher the figure, the lower the temperature. Generally, position '5' is suitable. 'OFF' position means no cooling. 'MAX' position means maximum cooling. The temperature may vary based on the quantity of food/drinks stored and door opening frequency.
Thermostat Dial Description: The dial has settings labeled 'OFF' (no cooling), '1' (least cold), '2', '3', '4', '5' (generally suitable), and 'MAX' (coldest). Turning clockwise increases the cooling effect (lowers temperature). - Light switch location varies by XLS model. Most models have the light switch on the right side of the top light box.
- To save energy, avoid opening the door frequently or leaving it open for extended periods.
- Refrigerators with mechanical temperature controls will defrost during each compressor off-cycle.
Wiring Diagrams
[The document includes a wiring diagram illustrating the connections between the thermostat, lamp switch, door switch, LED adaptor, LED lamps, evaporator fan motor, condenser fan motor, compressor, overload protector, and capacitor, with power input labeled L, N, and E (Ground).]
Caution for Using (Cleaning and Maintenance)
The surface and interior of the showcase should be kept dry and clean. Prolonged moisture can cause slow rusting and surface stains.
Periodic cleaning is recommended, typically every 30-45 days. Use a soft cloth with neutral soap or detergent to wipe the inside and surface. For gasket maintenance, clean gaskets with warm soapy water to prevent mold/mildew and maintain elasticity. Avoid harsh cleaning products that can make gaskets brittle and compromise sealing. Never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean gaskets. Gaskets are easy to replace; pull the dart-style gasket out of the door groove and press the new one into place.
French Usage Precautions (Prudence pour l'utilisation)
The surface and interior of the showcase must be kept dry and clean. Long-term humidity can cause slow rusting of the showcase, leading to surface stains.
Periodic cleaning is suggested, generally every 30-45 days. When cleaning, it is best to wipe the interior and surface of the showcase with a soft cloth using neutral soap or detergent.
Gasket Maintenance: Gaskets require cleaning to prevent mold and mildew buildup and to maintain gasket elasticity. Clean gaskets with warm soapy water. Avoid strong cleaning products on gaskets, as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper sealing. Never use sharp tools or knives that could tear the gasket or bellows to scrape or clean the gasket. Gaskets are easy to replace and do not require tools. To remove and replace dart-style gaskets, pull the gasket out of the door groove and press the new gasket into place.

Troubleshooting
Problem | Reason | Solution |
---|---|---|
The indicator is not on. | The plug isn't connected to the socket really. | Replug it. |
The compressor does not start. | No power. | Connect the socket with power. |
The indicator is on, but the compressor doesn't work and buzzes only. | The power voltage is < 98V in North America or < 187V in Europe. | Put a power regulator of more than 1000W power together. |
The compressor stops a minute after start, and restarts after a few minutes, and so repeatedly. | The power voltage is > 132V in North America or > 242V in Europe. | Put a power regulator of more than 1000W power together. |
The compressor works normally, but the temperature in the cabinet lowers too slowly. | The door is opened too frequently. | Reduce open times. |
The food in the cabinet is too much, and placed improperly. | Place foods properly, keeping space between them for cold air ventilation. | |
The frost film is too thick. | Take out foods and defrost. | |
The surface of the condenser is too dirty. | Stop and clean the condenser. | |
The noise is too loud. | The freezer is placed unstably. | Place it stably. |
The fixing of the freezer is loose. | Tighten the fixing. | |
There's contact between pipes. | Separate them. |
Note: The door seals badly. Solution: Adjust the door seal.
The Following Are Not Faults
- When the freezer is working or after stopping for a while, the refrigerant in the pipes cycles and makes "running water" sounds.
- The surface temperature of the compressor may reach 70°C - 80°C (158°F - 176°F) when working.
- The back side of the freezer gives out heat.
- In rainy seasons, the outer surface of the cabinet may develop dew, which does not indicate a defect in normal use. Simply dry it with a piece of cloth.
Save These Instructions
? Warning: During use, service, and disposal of the appliance, pay attention to the fire warning symbol (often located on the rear panel or compressor, colored yellow or orange).
