- Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials including bottom cushions, foam pads and tape inside, tear off the protective film on the door and the freezer body.
- The freezer should be placed in a well-ventilated indoor place on ground that is 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 insulation.
- Please leave at least 30 cm of space above the freezer, and 10 cm from both sides and backside to facilitate heat dissipation.
Leveling Feet
Schematic diagram of the leveling feet Adjusting procedures:
- a. Turn the feet clockwise to raise the Upright freezer
- b. Turn the feet counterclockwise to lower the freezer
- c. Adjust the right and left feet based on the procedures above to a horizontal level
Moving the Appliance
- Remove all objects from the appliance before moving. Secure the glass shelves, vegetable crisper, and freezer drawers with tape.
- Tighten the leveling feet, close the doors, and secure them with tape. Keep the appliance inclined by more than 45°.
- Do not lay the appliance on its side or upside down.
Start to Use
- The freezer must stand upright for half an hour before connecting power when it is first started.
- Run the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or 4+ hours in the summer, before loading fresh or frozen food.
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.
- Do not line storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
MAINTENANCE OF FREEZER
Cleaning
- Clean dust behind the freezer and on the ground to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
- Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
- Clean the interior of the freezer regularly to avoid odor.
- Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all food, shelves, drawers, 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 (such as narrow gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. to ensure no contaminants or bacteria accumulate in these areas.
- Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the freezer or contaminate food.
- Clean the baskets with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Then rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth or naturally.
- Wipe the outer surface of the freezer with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.

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 damage to the electrical insulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Inspiration | Ensure the cooler is plugged in and connected to power Check that the voltage is not low Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped. |
| Do not overload the coolers Long-term operation Do not open the doors too frequently of compressor Note that it is normal that the cooler operates for a longer time in summer when the ambient temperature is higher | |
| Light is out | Check whether the cooler is connected to power supply and whether the indicator light is damaged. |
| Loud noises | Ensure that the cooler is sitting on a flat and stable surface Ensure that the cooler accessories are properly placed |
|
Cooler enclosure heat condensation | The cooler enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, caused by the radiation of the condenser; this is normal.
Condensation may be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the cooler when humidity is high; this is normal. |
|
Airflow sound (Buzz / Clatter) | The compresser may cause a buzzing sound when starting up or shutting down.
The solenoid valve or electric switch valve may create a clattering sound which is normal and does not affect the operation. |
