Due to individual factors of the refrigerator, the actual temperature in the box may have a certain error from
the set temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the normal use of the product.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
freezer compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following
should be remembered:
1．Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2．Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible.
Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.
The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre as quickly as possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
Alternatively, you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at "-24" position to make sure the food is at the lowest
temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g.
fridge or larder).
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up
the defrosting.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished flow
out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer as the below diagram and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on
the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three hours.
1.A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer liner, and when defrosting, remove its rubber-cover, then the defrosti
ng water flows out and is discharged from the drain pipe.
2.Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3.Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4.After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the water conduit in place and make the
arrow point upward.
Important Notes:
• Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
•It is normal that water beads or frosts appear on the freezer collar and door gaskets in the wet weather, which will not affect
the normal use. In such case, please clean it with a dry cloth in time!
