●Add water to ice tray to 3/4 of its volume, place it at the bottom

   area of the freezer. When ice cubes are ready, flush the ice

   tray with running water, then, you can easily take out the ice

   cubes.

● Remove separators of the ice tray. Please note the creamier

    your ice cream is, the longer it will take to make it. When ice

    cream is ready, flush the ice tray with running water, then, you

    can easily take out the ice cream.

For long vacation or absence, unplug the freezer and clean the

freezer as described in “Cleaning and Maintenance”. Leave the

doors open to prevent formation of mildew or odor.

Keep the outside clean. Use furniture polisher or finishing condi-

tioner to clean the outside regularly (do not use these cleaners

to clean the inside).Wipe the door gasket with a cloth lightly dam-

aged with lukewarm water. No detergent is allowed. Never use

oil or grease to clean the door gasket.

Clean the inside regularly

●Clean the freezer compartment on a monthly basis and clean

    the freezer compartment after a defrost cycle.

●Take out foods from freezer compartment and keep those foods

   in a cool place.

● Remove all detachable parts.

● Interior parts are not suitable to be washed in a dishwasher.

    Wash them manually using lukewarm water and some dish

    detergent. Do not use concentrated detergent, abrasive agents

   and chemicals such as acids. Mild dish detergent is

    recommended.

Steam cleaners and dangerous and strictly prohibited.

Wash the inner compartment with lukewarm clean water and dry

with a soft cloth. It is absolutely dry after waiting for 3-4 minutes.

Do not destroy or remove the rating plate of the freezer. It could

be needed for after-sales service or relevant processes.

Make sure water doesn’t get into electric parts in the freezer.

If a heat exchanger (condenser) is mounted on the back of

freezer, dust and lint should be removed regularly to enable effi-

cient heat dissipation and avoid excessive power consumption.

Use a soft brush or a duster to clean the outside of heat

exchanger.

The freezer compartment, intended for storage of frozen food,

doesn’t have automatic defrosting.

The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly. Defrost

the freezer compartment whenever the thickness of ice layer

reaches 5cm.

Unplug the freezer before defrosting. Take out foods from the

freezer compartment and kept these foods in a cool place. Use

an ice scraper to remove the ice. To speed up the process, place

a bowl of hot water in the freezer compartment. Clean and re-

load the freezer compartment after defrosting.

Don’t use electrical devices such as hair dryer, electrical fan,

steam cleaner, defrost spray or open fire (such as candle) to

defrost the freezer compartment.

The plastic parts of inner compartment may get melted and any

spark or open fire may cause fire in presence of explosive gas.

Never use a steam cleaner to defrost the freezer compartment-

danger of electric shock!)

Take out the drawer, and wrap up the frozen foods with newspa-

per or blanket.

● Keep these foods in a cool place before the defrosting pro

    cess is finished.

● Keep the door of freezer compartment open.

●Ice and frost form on the surface of evaporator during operation.

   A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat insulation and hinders

   thermal conduction.
●Defrost the freezer compartment in the shortest time possible

    to avoid thawing of frozen foods.
●Do not remove the ice or frost in the freezer compartment with

    a sharp or pointed item. Otherwise the evaporator surface may

    get damaged.
● Wipe off defrost water from time to time with sponge.
●Place a container of hot water (do not use boiling water) near

    the door of freezer compartment to speed up the defrosting

    process.
●Dry the freezer compartment and place the frozen foods back.
● Reconnect the freezer after defrosting.
●Start up the freezer by adjusting the temperature control knob.
● Close the door of freezer compartment.

The latest manufacture techniques and state-of-the-art refrigera-

tion and freezing technology are adopted to ensure safe and

reliable operation of your appliance. In doubt of fault, make sure

to check first as describled below before making a service call:

The compressor (also known as refrigerating unit) doesn’t oper-

ate all the time without stop.

The compressor is controlled by the automatic temperature regu-

lator represented by a temperature dial. When the interior tem-

perature exceeds the present temperature, the compressor starts

automatically and when the interior temperature falls below the

present temperature, the compressor stops automatically.

It’s normal that compressor makes noise during operation. The

noise comes from the motor. The flow of refrigerant through the

refrigerating system may make a gurgling noise. These noises

don’t mean a fault of the freezer.

The exterior surface may be wet when it’s cold and the ambient

temperature is low. It’s normal and the exterior surface will be-

come dry as the ambient temperature rises.

If the reasons of such phenomena can’t be identified and solved,

please consult the service center.

Please check:
● Is the power cord in good condition? Is the freezer properly

    plugged in the outlet?
●Is there a power interruption? (Use a small appliance to check

    out, e.g. agitator or hair dryer.

●Is the freezer started up? (The temperature dial should not be

    set at “0”).
● Is the fuse broken? Or in poor contact?

Please check:
●The freezer compartment should stand still for at least 2 hours

    after installation to stabilize the refrigerant circulation system.

    See “start-up”. If it doesn’t work, unplug the freezer and till the

    freezer to one side for a while or place it on an inclined plane

    and then place it to the original position. Connect the freezer

    after 2 hours. Keep the door closed for 12 hours.
●Is the door properly closed? If so, the door gasket should press

   on the external cabinet securely and evenly.

●If there is thick ice in the freezer compartment.(See “Cleaning

    and Maintenance”)
●Is the freezer exposed to direct sunshine or near a heat source

    (oven, radiator. etc.)?

● Is the inner compartment overloaded?
● Is the room well ventilated? Is the air vent obstructed?
● Is the heat exchanger (condenser)on the back covered by

dust?

● Is the temperature regulator properly set?
● Is the door of freezer compartment properly closed?
● Is there a lot of fresh food (more than 1kg) in the freezer

    compartment?(If the freezer compartment operates for long

    periods, the temperature of freezer compartment falls

    accordingly)

● Is the ambient temperature too low?(If so, the refrigerating

    until will malfunction, resulting in higher temperatures in the

    freezer compartment)
