Safety precautions Precautions for use

When closing a door, please hold its handle to prevent your fingers from being pinched.

Do not store glass bottles or canned products in the freezer because frost crack may occur and result in personal injury.

Do not touch any item stored in the freezer with a bare hand. Touching a frozen item or the freezer’s inner wall with a bare hand may cause frostbite.

At the time of repair, wear a pair of gloves to avoid injury by a sharp edge or corner.

If the freezer is to be left unused for a long time, pull out its power plug to avoid electric shock, electric leakage or fire hazard resulting from the aging of power cord.

Put plastic bags out of the children’s reach because they may cause suffocation.

Precautions for handling

1.Before unpacking, a fork lift or bale clamping device may be used to move the freezer.

If a fork lift is used to move the freezer, insert its fork into the bottom of wood bottom bracket from both sides of the freezer.

If a bale clamping device is used to move the freezer, clamp the freezer from the bottom of wood bottom bracket and only clamp both sides of the freezer.

2.After unpacking, the freezer can be moved by its castors.

Note: Never tilt the freezer more than 45° when moving it.

If the freezer is turned on for the first time or has not been used for a long time, its rechargeable battery may at low charge level because it has been fully discharged. This is not a fault. In this case, make the freezer operate continuously for about 6 days to fully charge the battery.

When the freezer is operating, the surface around the doorframe of shell may get hot. This is not a fault. The reason is that anti-condensation pipes are installed around the opening to prevent condensate from forming around the cabinet shell.

Make sure that the freezer’s internal temperature has been low enough before putting articles in the freezer and the articles are put in the freezer in batches to prevent temperature rise.

The displayed temperature of low-temperature freezer means the temperature at the temperature-sensing probe in the preservation compartment. Sometimes it is different from actual temperature in the center of preservation compartment, but it will be gradually close to the actual temperature.

There is a through-hole on the freezer’s rear panel for leading out the test wire inside the freezer. After leading out the test wire, be sure to stuff the test hole with heat-insulating material again; otherwise the temperature inside the preservation compartment will not be low enough and condensate may form around the outside of through-hole.

Clean the freezer with diluted neutral detergent (undiluted detergent will damage the plastic composition. Please refer to the detergent instructions for the dilution method). Do not use a brush, acid, gasoline, soap powder, polishing powder or hot water to clean the freezer because they may damage the painted surface and plastic/rubber parts. The point we must pay special attention to is that any volatile solvent such as gasoline should not be used on plastic/rubber parts.

After the freezer operates for a period of time, there will be a layer of frost on its inner wall. Thick layer of frost will affect the freezer’s refrigerating effect and increase power consumption. Therefore defrosting should be done by the provided scraper or the defrosting key on the control panel when the thickness of frost reaches about 5mm.

Before defrosting, please take out all articles stored in the freezer and put them in another freezer for preservation to avoid the deterioration of articles due to temperature rise.

There are many cooling coils on the shelves. Therefore do not remove the frost on the shelves with any sharp tool such as knife, ice chisel or screwdriver, etc. Be careful not to scratch the evaporating pipes in the process of defrosting; otherwise the freezer will be unable to work normally.

If the freezer is to be left unused for a long time, please disconnect it from the power supply and turn off the battery switch.
