2.3 Placement

• Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials including bottom cushions and foam pads and tapes inside the freezer, tear off the protective film on the door and the freezer body.
• The freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat, and sturdy.
• Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
• The top space of the freezer shall be greater than 70cm, and the distances from both sides and backside shall be more than 20cm to facilitate heat dissipation.

2.4 Changing the Light (optional)

Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person.

2.5 Start to Use

• Use a tool (flat screwdriver or cone), insert it into the gap at the arrow position in the picture and gently pry it open to the outside so as to open the flap.
• After opening the picture as shown below, remove the power cord from the hole.
• After the power cord is removed, the cover will then be covered in the opposite direction of the original opening.
• After transportation, please let the freezer stay for more than 2 hours before turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or a damage to the freezer.
• The freezer shall run 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; the freezer shall run for more than 4 hours in summer in advance considering that the ambient temperature is high.
• Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor due to successive starts.

2.6 Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

3 Maintenance of Freezer

3.1 Cleaning

• Dusts behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor. Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove all food, basket, container, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the freezer, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the freezer (such as gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soaps, detergents, spray cleaners, etc. to clean the inside of your freezer as these may create odors or contamination.
• Clean the baskets with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the freezer with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the freezer surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.
• Please unplug the freezer for defrost and cleaning.

3.2 Defrost

Freezer shall be manually defrosted.

• Unplug the freezer and open the freezer door, remove foods and shelving basket before defrosting; Open the outflow hole and drainage hole (and place water container at the outflow hole); indoor frost will naturally melt, wipe the defrost water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice scraper might be used to the accelerate de-icing process.
• Please remove the food and put in a cool place when defrosting before removing accessories.
• Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

3.3 Stop Using

• Power failure: Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power failure; it is recommended to reduce the frequency of opening door and do not put fresh foods into the freezer.
• Long-time nonuse: Please unplug the freezer left unused for a long time for cleaning. Keep the door open to avoid the bad odor.
• Moving: Do not turn upside or vibrate the freezer, the carrying angle can not be greater than 45°. Do not hold the door and hinge when moving this unit.
• Continuous operation is recommended when the freezer is started. Please do not stop the freezer under normal circumstances so as not to affect the freezer's service life.
